CoE thought

[rm]

Does Jack ever get to leave anywhere in victory? Does he ever get to just take the hand of his lover and say "fuck it, let's get outta here" and start a new life somewhere else not because things are awful, not because he's broken and alone, but just because it's time?

I really want someone to write this fic. Requires a totally compelling, well-drawn complex OC. A moment from Jack of thinking about how much he wishes he could've got the chance to do such a thing with people now lost to him (Ianto, hi!) an extra bonus.

Bittersweet wonders of the universe fic! Someone? Anyone?

I think it's a mathematical certainty, and thus a given, that he will have time for many long, uneventful lives, with someone dear. They are plenty of periods of history coming when that will be possible.
When Jack stops being 'human' by any reasonable measure, he will have to lose every aspect of humanity, including the best. To lose all, he has to have all.
