Major love for this. My favorite TW pairing. Jack being written very true to form and Owen being unable to resist, because really, who can?

The only spelling change you need is "Suzie" instead of "Susie," but god knows I've screwed that one up enough times. I'd recommend cross-posting to the various Torchwood fic comms, especally jack_owen and torchwood_decaf.

Spread the Jack/Owen love!

Mmm, very Owen.

Thanks. I'm glad you liked it. I don't write TW too often, but I do enjoy writing Owen. :)

Really enjoyed this. Well-done. I admit, the exploding alien was probably my favorite part. Okay, maybe my favorite apart from the dancing. :) Thanks for sharing this.

How could I resist covering Jack in exploded alien slime? LOL

I'm glad you liked it. :)

Love this. Owen's inner voice, just perfect. Thank you - can't get enough Owen in my opinion.

amproof March 24 2009, 02:58:25 UTC

Thank you very much. :) And I have to agree--never enough Owen!

I've never read Owen/Jack before but I liked these.

"She did it all backwards and in heels." Just wondering if this is a Rent ref?

Wow--I'm delighted to have brought you your first Owen/Jack story. :)

I am a big fan of Rent, and I assume you are thinking of the bit in Tango Maureen when Mark says, "This is hard" and Joanne says, "You should try it in heels!"

The line in the story is actually a reference to a famous quote about Ginger Rogers, who danced with Fred Astaire. 'Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels.' I found a reference to Texas(?) Gov. Ann Richards saying it at the 1988 Democratic Convention in 2 articles, so I'm accepting that as the origin of the quote.

Fred and Ginger in action:

Watched the vid and they are great. I couldn't walk in heels let alone do anything else. What did we ever do before YouTube to show people songs/clips?

I was totally thinking of Tango Maureen.
