Author: shadowbyrd
Rating: G
Fandom: Torchwood/Harry Potter
Prompt: On a date for jantolution
Word Count: 1118

Summary: Jack's attempts at light dinner conversation are terrifying.

( “- but by then we’d opened the school,” Jack continued, pouring more wine “I’d slain a couple of dragons and, well. If you’re known for your work the way we were there comes a time in your life and you just know that your best days are behind you. Better to quit while you’re ahead.” )

ROTFLMFAO!

I love this! I can totally see Jack going on during dinner about 'back in the day' in Hogwarts.

Favourite bits:

“Really?” said Ianto “So what do you call her now?”

“Him.” Jack corrected “And he doesn’t really have a name. We just call him the Doctor.”

and

“Authors do have a strange belief that they control the characters that they write about.” Jack mused, sitting back in his chair.

And ain't that the truth! RTD would do well to recognise that!

Brilliant! Friending you (if you don't mind) so I don't miss any more of your work!

(PS - If you ever find yourself in need of a beta, PM me, yeah? I like to work with really good authors. ☺)

It's hard to when to believe Jack's stories, he's had such an interesting life! You're turning out some of the most varied and original Torchwood crossovers I've come across - hope you'll continue. Even the ones I'm not familiar with are fascinating.

I'm going to try - I'm trying to fill as many of jantolution's prompts as I can. Has been a lot of fun so far!

I'm happy you're enjoying these.

I have to admit I personally take some of his lines on TW with a pinch of salt...:D

And this is the reason that Ravenclaw didn't step up during any of the trouble with Slytherin; he was already in space solving/causing problems out there.
