Don't worry. The happy is out there. Somewhere.

[nightrider101]

I'm happy. :D

*sniff*

He’s inside my head, Jack thinks, distantly. Hell, the bastard is inside my head, reading my mind!

He’s inside my head and I don’t want him to ever leave there.

I knew this was going to hurt.

It was beautiful and heartbreaking seeing Jack's thoughts as he finally had his moment with the Doctor.

And the morning after... *pokes at broken heart*

[vail_kagami]

Come on - it wasn't that angsty!
Was it?

I've been re-reading a manga yesterday that's made me immune - I overdosed on angst. :P (There must be a reason why I love it so much.)

[nightrider101]

It was pretty angsty. ;)

Not the most angsty thing you've ever written. Hell, it doesn't even make your top twenty, but it still broke my heart!

[nightrider101]

This was so touching. But then, I love having my heart broken by your stories! What a way to start the day.

Beautiful.

Lovely :) *sniffle*

(Teeny tiny beta: Yet again, the worlds are lost... Did you mean "words," here? And than it sound to his own ears. "Sounds"?)

This is such a beautiful line:

The words are ready to leave but they can’t, for the Doctor’s lips close over Jack’s and his tongue pushes them back into his throat.

And this is heartbreaking:

In the morning, he tries not to open his eyes.

(Although it doesn't have to be. He hasn't opened his eyes yet :) )

[vail_kagami]

Good point. Imagine Jack's reaction if the Doctor should be happily slumbering beside him. :P

Thank you muchly for the comment and the beta.

Random poking: What about Pandora?

[rose_cat]

Imagine Jack's reaction if the Doctor should be happily slumbering beside him. :PHe'd be thrilled. You'd be bored

Ack- that last beat. I read it a couple of times and it gets more and more devastating. Poor Jack. Poor Doctor. It reminds me slightly of the problems that the two of them had in Set in Stone, which is possible my favourite fic of this fandom- except here Jack is enlightened. And he is so Jack here :D

Thank-you for sharing! Now... back to Versus Time, you :) xXx

[vail_kagami]

I'm happy to know you likes Set in Stone so much, since it's one of my favourites of my own stories.

Thanks for the comment!

Versus Time is actually progressing quite nicely. Which is a lie - I feel like it isn't pregressing at all. But at least I've written a lot.

[vail_kagami]

Wow. Will you post that illustration? I'd love to see it!

I'm glad you like the story.

[vail_kagami]

Oh, that's lovely, and so accurate! If you don't mind, I would like to link it to the story.
