Ahhh, how you have broken my heart and elated me all at once, lovie - thank you...

*HUGS*

Ohhh, what a lovely icon! I'm still so very disappointed that the original plan to have Jack around for 6x07 never came to fruition. I think Jack would have a really interesting dynamic with Eleven, Amy, Rory, and River.

I wanted to go for that feeling you got--the elation because he's finally seeing the Doctor again, even if it's not his Doctor, and he's getting a glimpse at their lives when he's just witnessed such carnage at the Hub. But I knew from the start it would be inherently heartbreaking, as well, because he can't remember the encounter at all. If I hadn't had the word limit, I was actually going to twist the knife a tiny bit more and have the memory erasure involve a kiss. It's still kind of the way it happened in my head, LOL. Thank you!

Guh...you need to write a one-shot time-stamp!! NEED THAT KISS...gods, that would have been EPIC, and LOVELY, and HURTY and -

*FAINTS*

It is now happening in my head.

*FLAILS*

I really like the idea of Closing Time!11 going to visit Jack: settling old debts before he goes to his own death.

Thank you! He did say he went back to see everyone, so I like to think he saw Jack. At the very least I wanted Jack to get to have some hope, however briefly; breaks my heart to think of how long he had to wait (and what an awful wait it was, too, considering that for part of it he was mourning Rose and might not have even known for sure if the Doctor was still around).

This is superb, I loved the whole idea around it, Jack and Eleven meeting before The Last of the Time Lords.

And, that bit about braces was just brilliant.

[haveloved]

Thank you! I admittedly have a bit of a fascination with the "meeting before you've met someone" concept; I've done it several times (mostly with various incarnations of the Doctor and Rose). Given that Jack's a fixed point in time and the Doctor must have crossed paths with--or just missed--Jack several times in his years and years of waiting, I like to think this sort of scenario is plausible.

And hee, the braces was admittedly a bit of headcanon I came up with once during a discussion with my Whovian friends. Jack's attire in the Torchwood era (and surely in his off-hours in the TARDIS) is awfully similar to Eleven's. His things were probably around the TARDIS just as much as Rose's, given the abruptness of both their departures. I like to think that the Doctor modeled his style in some respects after Jack, following that hasty dressing in the locker room!

so sad!

[haveloved]

Thank you for reading!

OH! I loved this! What a great/sad idea. Lovely timey wimey. I especially liked how Jack could sense that it was the Doctor.

And the braces.

Cheers!

Thank you! :D
