“You’re cut off, Harkness,” the bartender said curtly as Jack drained his mug to the dregs.

“Aww, come on, Doc,” Jack Harkness wheedled, his slight slur the only discernible sign of his inebriation. He was better at holding his liquor than any of the patrons the Doctor’s club had ever seen, and that was saying a lot. “At least until last call.”

Thank you! :D Yep, if anyone is the perfect Doctor for a noir setting, it's Nine! I loved working his personality into the setting.

Loved this! Sexy and dark.

I loved Donna being in there, and I l-o-v-e the idea of she and Jack together. Sparky!

Rose steals his car and evokes the "have a fantastic life" card? Ouch! I could hear the 40's music playing them out.

I love the idea of Donna/Jack myself, and I wanted to flip it a bit and have Jack be the one that was interested. I want to work more with them in this 'verse someday; I liked having them on the side!

Actually, I loved reversing the roles in general--having Rose play the "have a fantastic life" card was another one I enjoyed, in a twisted way. ;)

Awesome story. Although the premise sounds odd at first, Nine, Donna, Jack, and Rose all fit in really well to this. The love story was great, and Donna/Jack's subplot was really cute as well. This definitely fit the noir feel, and the ending's just as bittersweet as the film's - except way more badass because hey, Rose stole his car. Great job.

Thank you! I was worried at first about how I would fit them in--out of everyone, Jack seemed, to me, the only one that really worked in a setting like this, but I tried very hard to find jobs and roles I felt would fit them, and I'm glad to hear I did a good job, apparently. :D I loved crafting Nine/Rose and Donna/Jack into a setting like this; it was so much fun.

This is a fantastic AU! Great plot, great ‘verse, spot-on characterisation! *mems*

Aww, thank you! This is only the second time I've been memed, I think, so this excites me greatly. :D
