beccaelizabethI started listening to
The Lives of Captain Jack
the first box set
and while the stories are fun adventures
there is also going to be a moment where you realise where when in his life he is
and the weight of that hits the story with so much more feels than it would have of itself
(mostly angst).
Like so far there's been one adventure where it's only the *second* time Jack has ever died and you get so far through the story before properly realising that it's post Daleks but *he still doesn't know*. And he just wants to live. And, well, he's going to get to. But.
And then there's a fun run around with Jackie
but right at the end
he says how long he's been waiting for the Doctor
(170 years)(!)
and she points out she has his phone number and Jack doesn't
and 'being dumped's hard'.
and i kind of sit and stare about that for a bit.
Yesterday I read some fanfic where Jack and Ianto get their happy ending
and I kind of want to again
but like
more to deliver it
to Jack?
It is really his turn by now.
But they are good stories.
If you want many feels about many things.
