Another Day Older (At Least I'm Not In Debt), Jack/Liz, the big 5-0, PG michellek November 2 2008, 01:23:40 UTC
Jack was turning fifty fairly soon. He told himself not to worry about it; it was just another birthday, and he was reasonably healthy for a man his age. But his inner voice's mention of 'health' brought about a list of issues men over fifty routinely experienced. Difficulty achieving and maintaining an erection, less firm erections, decreased sex drive (even for a Catholic, it was difficult to believe God could be so cruel), and many health problems that didn't have to do with the sexual use of his penis. (To be perfectly frank, he wasn't ready to think about the phrase 'enlarged prostate ( ... )

Awww, this is great! And pretty much what I had in mind when I came up with this prompt -- some good old Jack insecurity about the big birthday.

I love the bit about him still adoring her in twelve years. Because yeah, he would. :D

Oh Jack. How could you be concerned that Liz wouldn't adore you? *sigh*

I think I've figured out what makes your writing so awesome (to me). You can take any situation and makes it sound fresh and realistic and them. It's a testament to both you and Tina for creating/exploring characters that have such depth and are so lovable despite (possibly because of) their misgivings and failings.

I think that's why I like writing them so much. Because, just by virtue of how distinct and complex they are, there's a whole lot of interesting things one can write. Oh, Tina, I love you. And thank you!

"Wow, you must really have feelings for me. So how about you focus on that? That you've found a woman you like enough to imagine still wanting to do her when she's fifty. And that I'll still want to do it with you when you're sixty-two." - Oh the romance of Jack and Liz. It makes me do a happy dance every time you write such wonderful things.

This was lovely and sweet, and anytime anyone uses the word 'adore' it makes me enjoy whatever is being talked about a little bit more.

"Doesn't knowing I believe that I'll still adore you in twelve years make you feel better?"

Awww!! ♥♥

I love this; it's far too cute! XD
And it sounds just like a conversation about this between them would do. :)

Aww. Poor Jack and him reaching the stage of such... Things. He can survive this with his eyes closed. He is Jackie D! Age is nothing but dust to him.

Nice work you got here. :D
