I really like this. First off Kudos for not just ignoring Ally. Second, what really got to me in this story was Sky's controlled reaction. Its so heartbreaking, so sympathetic that I found myself not really caring about Jack's reasons and more concerned with Sky. Just..argh! Somebody has to run Jack over with the clue bus!! Multiple times, forward and backwards. Poor Sky.
Thanks! No, I hate fics that just ignore girlfriends so they can slash, without any explanations. And I'm very glad you liked Sky's reactions - I tried writing it from his POV, but it just didn't work so well.
Ouch. That hurts. Jack is so clueless here you feel like smacking him round the head. Trying to convince himself he's in love with Ally while knowing Sky's timetable off by heart and being so upset with Sky's reaction, or lack of one... denial, anyone?
I liked this ficlet, because it can't always be happy-happy. You did a good job showing both of their internal anguish. And it left me wanting to slap Jack upside the head and worse (and I probably have to get in line for that).
