Oh wow, this is amazing and beautiful and the last four paragraphs killed me in a good way.

[vail_kagami]

Thank you very much!

This was beautiful.

As mentioned above, the last four paragraphs were stunning and so true.

This was my favorite part: This Doctor knew nothing. Just like Jack, in the present, saviour of worlds and murderer of children knew nothing about the future and what it would hold. Perhaps that was what this chance meeting should remind him of: that anything could happen, good and bad. Anything would happen, eventually. His life wasn’t over yet.

This story shows how far Jack has come - in a very long amount of time. :) It was heartbreaking to think of what the future holds for the conman and the Ninth Doctor. A lot of dark times ahead...and a few laughs, too.

Great job! Thank you for sharing. :)

On a side note, are you going to share this on a comm?

[vail_kagami]

Now you mention it, I should probably do that.

Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you liked the ending.

That was heart-breakingly beautiful. Jack/Nine has always been my favourite pairing. This was wonderful. Thank you.
