With what happens to Jack later, Boom Town becomes a terribly bittersweet story (more so than it was to begin with), which you've captured beautifully. Lovely.

Hee, love this. Both the funny bits and the bittersweet ones. From the text messages and phonecalls, to the mortician's note (fish people!) and Eleven buying him coffee and loosing his cup. Also 4. made me laugh ridiculously out loud.

This was lovely, I particularly loved the last one, very sweet and slightly sad, but it felt a bit like healing. :D

I really liked this - they had a nice combination of funny and sweet and sad.

Lots of excellent lines! Like the arc too of Jack's gradual acceptance and his own changes.

Some fave lines:

5. “I assume if you’d wanted the sandwich in the fridge, you’d be back by now.” (Owen)

The Time Agency thanks you for your cooperation in this matter and wishes you a pleasant paradox-free tomorrow.”

I watched you grow up, Jack thinks fondly, watching the kid trying to get the better of Doctor. I called the ambulance when you broke your arm.
