This is completely and totally fantastic! I never knew a TW/BN crossover was missing in my life, but now I'm sure glad that I have it! =)

Well, scribblinlenore is someone who seems to make one realize the NEED for crossovers in your life. She has claimed that both Michael Westen and Jack Harkness are "little black dresses" who can go with anyone and therefore it led to "why not with each other?"

I'm glad you enjoyed!

Man! Can't believe I forgot to comment!

This is a very fun crossover. It read so much like an episode of Burn Notice, just with a Jack twist. And Jack's inner thoughts about the kind of man he is? Priceless!

Jack was afraid to check out in case someone came back for him. Like they’d forgotten him behind and would come searching for him, relieved to find him right where they’d left him.

Ouch! So good. But I've got to say that this was my favorite:

“I find when you think in terms of either-or you tend to miss a lot of the good stuff in the middle.”

So Jack! You did a really good job of getting the voices right. I could hear Michael's firm, yet somehow reasurring voice, definitely see Sam with "wing hands", and Jack was the same, but different due to the amnesia. Great job!

Thank you thank you. Much appreciated. I think Jack's way of thinking would be good for Michael. And Jack would be gentle, like he promised.

Michael's voice was the toughest to crack, I had to read his lines over and over in my head and then cut them in half, but Jack was garrulous enough and then there were handy explosions.

Cheers!

Came here from thaddeus' rec in torchwood_house. Never saw Burn Notice, although I've heard it's good. This was a lot of fun, I really enjoyed it. You got Jack down to a T.

I'm so glad! Many people are reading this without knowing about Burn Notice, which is okay, it's all about Jack for the most part. Burn Notice is fun and pretty, and you know Jack would enjoy that! Thanks!

Great Jack story. I've never seen Burn Notice now I'll have to look for it when and where would be much appreciated. Jack with amnesia is still Jack knows everything but who he is and where he comes from. Still all the right words and moves though. Loved every word of it.

Burn Notice: USA Network. Two seasons' worth of eps can be viewed here: http://www.usanetwork.com/series/burnnotice/video/fullep/

Season Three coming soon in January... to USA network and probably online if you're not in the States. Pretty spies, monologues, derring do and Miami nights. If you're into that sort of thing!

I am so glad you liked the story. I find Jack fun to write if he has the right scenario (or partner). What a charmer!

SpyJack, one of the most loveable rogues in the galaxy.

Who can resist that roguish charm, that impish smile?
