Whee! Smutty, heartfelt goodness. Lovely way to start a day, this is.

Thanks! I'm so pleased you enjoyed it. :)

I was right! They did know Jack watched them :)

You got the mood just right here, from eager, impatient passion in Jack's office to the awkwardness and embarrassment of 'where do we go from here?' back in the Doctor and Rose's flat. So plausible that they'd all be wondering what to say, or afraid of revealing too much or saying the wrong thing.

I loved this:

"I want a partnership," he said soberly. "I want to be with the two of you, serious, long-term. I'm not asking for a commitment ceremony tomorrow," he added, somewhat hastily, "but . . . I want a shot at making something work between us. I don't just want a quick shag, or a shallow fuck-buddy relationship." He smiled a little weakly, and looked away from them, taking another swallow of his tea.Poor Jack. You've hinted at what sounds like an interesting back-story for him: the Doctor convinced that he's been hurt in the past, for example. It doesn't sound as if this Jack is the playboy extraordinaire his other-universe counterpart is. I think we also need to know how come he's ( ... )

I hope you'll do it, too! I am dying to know the answers to all these questions (not to mention there is not nearly enough alt!Jack fic out there to feed my ever-growing addiction). This was tender and hot and tinged with just the right amount of angst.

I'd been thinking I might want to write my own Pete's World OT3 fic, but between you and dameruth, I might not have to!

See my reply to wendymr. Alt!Jack is talking in my head. Damn it. :P

Yes. Yes, they did. :D:D

I'm glad you think the scene when they walked into the flat is plausible, because the characters took the bit between their teeth and ran with it. I wanted to get into the sexxin', but they insisted--it's part of why this chapter took longer than I'd hoped, because I kept insisting that it was going to jump straight into the sex. When I let them have their head, it all but wrote itself.

Poor Jack. You've hinted at what sounds like an interesting back-story for him

His back-story is slowly revealing itself to me, yes. I won't say he had an easier time of it than our Jack, but it was difficult in very different ways.

I could see that you might be a bit hesitant to answer some of those questions in a sequel, given [info]dameruth's already done it in her Jedverse - but I think you can certainly tell your version of it. Your Jack is different enough from her Jed to give you the scope, and I hope you'll take up the challenge.He's already poking me in the ( ... )

That was brilliant. So hot and sweet. I loved them taking the time to talk first and really solidify what they meant to each other. And I loved that they'd all been thinking about it since Spain.

aibhinn_fics July 7 2009, 07:29:15 UTC

Thank you! Yes, as I mentioned above, the characters absolutely INSISTED on that part of it, so I'm glad it's turned out so well. :)

electrictoes July 6 2009, 23:45:21 UTC

Absolutely & completely fantastic.

I feel the need to request a sequel, even.

aibhinn_fics July 7 2009, 07:30:38 UTC

Lots of folks are... which should make me feel good, except that I've got NINE HUNDRED MILLION WIPs on my hard drive. (Well, four. But still.)

*grin* You'll probably get your sequel; alt!Jack is sitting in my brain and won't shut up. :D

Thanks for commenting! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. :)

For some reason I really loved this image:
,i>She sat beside the Doctor and slid an arm behind him, rubbing his back comfortingly with a hand. .
It just struck me as exactly the kind of thing Rose would do in the relationship between her and Ten II. The perefect mix of her usual touchiness with Ten and then the added sort of casual familiarity from the relationship being more solid.

aibhinn_fics July 7 2009, 07:31:10 UTC

Thank you! Yes, that's one of my favourite images, too. I'm so pleased it stood out for you! :)
