This made me happy.

Apart from that, I'm in denial about that Boe thing.

[snowwhiteliar]

Me too. :) Though this did occur to me. I still favour a few of the other escapes suggested by the notsobigheaded comm.

Thank you for reading it, though, and I'm very pleased you enjoyed it. :)

I've just been browsing notsobigheaded and bookmarked some to read later.

My personal theory is that Jack was just pulling the Doctor's leg, maybe including Jack actually having the nickname because the people that knew him as a young man thought it a funny reference.

But Jack changing himself to cope with forgetting, and then forgetting that he changed, and then changing back and being so full of wonder and joy about it -- that captures something that I always liked best about Jack, and which this whole "Face of Boe" thing undermines.

Being a head in a jar must be bad enough for an introverted person who dislikes direct contact with the world and prefers to exist in the realm or pure thought. For Jack... let's say, this "joke" left me completely horrified until I had my denial firmly in place.

Oh my god, that's beautiful. And Jack being Jack without even realizing it -- I love it.

:) Thank you! I'm very pleased you enjoyed it, even after more than a year!

[bobthemole]

Yes! So good and brilliant and perfect. And he's FLIRTING with Hame!

[snowwhiteliar]

Yes, he is. ;) I doubt anything could really change that about our Jack. And thank you!

Just beautiful. So light and joyful. I'll keep it save somewhere to remember more easily that it not all is darkness and angst in the TW-verse (or outside of it, really).
Thanks so much for writing! :D
