This is very affecting. I wonder if Jack's instincts for self preservation have eroded now that he is immortal. ... It was good that Owen knew how to help him wake up ... and Jack was so sweet. I never really liked Owen, but I feel for him in this story, and everyone is so perfectly in character. Nice work!

Really great job capturing both of their characters. I loved the ending, on how sweet Jack was when Owen was so worried. Fantastic job.

Very interesting! The whole Jack can die as many times as he likes thing does put a whole new spin on relationships. You did a good job of showing the weirdness of being the one to kill him plus the fact that there is still guilt, even though it can't be permanent. Well done

Wow, this is actually kind of dark, you know?

Love this! It suits both the prompt and the characters to a "T". You did a great job getting into Owen's head and capturing the horror and the sheer weirdness of the situation. As well as Jack's somewhat baffling but welcome capacity for forgiveness. Really great job!
