Rating: the author rates it "F for Fingers"; I'm going to say PG-ish
Length: medium
Brief summary: Jack has the Tenth Doctor's severed hand. This is a Jack/Hand fic, only it's not nearly as tasteless as the pairing might lead one to assume. Very original, interesting story!
Now the hand can feel the Doctor again, and it wants to tell Jack that the Doctor is still here, close by, but it is afraid, and so it just bobs in its suspension and lets Jack continue.
"I waited," Jack says again. "Heard on the scanner about a mysterious blue box scaring traffic on the M4 and I went straight to the rift and I waited, because you said you'd come back for me."
The hand bobs. Somewhere it can feel the Doctor's new hand dancing across the Tardis controls, and its fingers twitch. It feels the Doctor's blood pulsing through it, feels the motion of the Tardis suspended somewhere in the air, fifty, maybe a hundred miles away, no more. Like he came back for something, and the hand lets itself think maybe the Doctor came back to reclaim it, and is scared again.

Brief summary: Back during season 1, Ianto learns that Jack can't die. Use of present tense works well for this believable Jack/Ianto story.
There is a silence that lasts a while. Jack breaks it with a clink of glass on crystal as he refills. When Ianto asks another question (after another sip) it is not the one that Jack expects.
‘How many times have you died?’
He tips his chair back and looks up, thinking on it. ‘Seven.’
Ianto thinks about it. ‘So, two left, if you were a cat.’
Jack laughs. ‘Yeah. But for me…I don’t think there’s a limit.’
