Summary: Post Exit-Wounds, the two former Time Agents reunite outside of Jack's territory.
Why you should read it: It was hardly a secret that Jack and John had a history between them. KKBB made that abundantly clear. In her Time Agents series,
51stcenturyfox explores that history giving both men a depth of character that the show failed to deliver. By turns sexy, funny, and ultimately bittersweet, the series comes to a natural conclusion with Closure, a fic that delivers exactly what the title promises.
Meeting in Venice, Jack and John share… sex, of course, but that’s not what this is about. It’s about the end. “I’ve never felt more like a distant memory,” John says. And soon, it’ll be nostalgic reminiscences like “that time we”, or “do you remember when”. The narrative is simple, and carries the feel of a fond, occasionally painful, memory already. That, as well as the setting, conveys an air of history, past glories, and faded days. The dialogue is spare, yet carries a wealth of meaning if you know how to listen. Plot, dialogue, characterization, and narrative combine with the perfect ending to make this easily another fic that ought to be canon.
The
Time Agents Series can be found on
51stcenturyfox’s fic list. While Closure can be read as a stand alone, the rest of the series is well worth reading.
