FIC: Nobody's a Long Time (Doctor Who, Ten/Jack)

[sweetestdrain]

Nobody's a Long Time
By sweetestdrain. Doctor/Jack.

Slash. Contains spoilers up to Doctor Who 2x13 "Doomsday", but only speculation for Torchwood (beyond the fact that Jack will be in it). Title from Kenneth Patchen's poem "Lonesome Boy Blues."

Written for _bellacosity in the Tenth Doctor Ficathon. The request was for Ten/Rose/Jack or Ten/Jack, PLOT and kissing.

Very nice work! Thoughtful and in character, with a delicious ending.

[sweetestdrain]

Thank you!

Yesss. This is exactly how Ten/Jack is supposed to be written. I may or may not have made ridiculous flaily noises and waved my arms around like a lunatic. I think that means this is very, very good. Now I have to read it again.

And your comment may or may not have made me grin wildly for minutes on end. Thanks! (And oh, I love your icon.)

Hey, you made me like Ten! And I love Jack anyways, but he was especially lovely here.

[sweetestdrain]

Hee, I'm glad! Thank you. :)

Oo, I like this. In a lot of cases I end up skimming the plot portions of Fics With Plot because they're not that interesting and I'm only there for the characterization, but your plot was clever and original and just as interesting as the character interaction and yay! I especially like the fact that the Doctor didn't know instantly what was going on and had to run around figuring it out like on the show. (And further yay for the links to images of the art you mentioned.) Great mystery and suspense, and your Jack and Doctor both seem spot on, and I just love the end. Excellent job!

Oh, thank you! I don't often set out to write things with a plot, so I was a bit worried about things like pacing (and things like whether it was interesting in the least). It's fantastic to hear that you liked it!
