Insomnia [fic]

Oct 01, 2008 14:41

Title: Insomnia
Author: shadowbyrd
Rating: PG - 13
Pairing[s]: Jack/Tosh
Prompt: 33. Worried for otp_100
Spoilers: Takes place after Countrycide, allusions to Fragments.
Summary: Jack and Tosh after the cannibals.

( The hallway floorboards creaking didn’t wake Tosh up; since tucking herself in around eleven she’d barely been to sleep, nervous energy from the Beacons still shaking through her. )

Lovely :) I love your characterizations here and the reality of Tosh's past getting mixed up with the present.

Thanks! I'm ashamed to admit I only recently realised what a hard time she'd have after the countryside given her history, but hopefully this fic makes up for it a little.

*snort* It's always good to see Tosh taking care of herself: Obviously if anyone tries to steal up on you in the night, they’re going to get their face blown off, but it’d ruin your night’s sleep. made me snicker.

Cheers!

It amuses and irritates me when people do the whole "Tosh isn't a warrior" bit. She's less ready to get violent than the rest of them, sure, but aside from everything else she's survived prison. She knows how to handle herself.

after 'fragments' i really have to look at all the other episodes in a new light (i highly doubt the writers had any inkling while they were writing, but that's what fanfic is for!) and i've been thinking a lot about tosh's story the most and how much she must have changed over the years
this was so believable - before she kinda just 'took it' and seemed very passive, but in countrycide it showed that she could fight and survive
i really like how you connected those

As I say it only occured to me recently when Lali and I were talking about it and I feel very guilty for having not thought about it up until now!

I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for commenting.

Well, of course Jack would do the sneaking in thing ;) Love it :)

Naturally. Even if it would get his face blown off.

Cheers, darlin'.
