Past and Present

Jack and John found a nook in an alley where, for the moment, they were safe from the alien predator. "I'm transmitting the biofacts to Tosh at the Agency," said John, tapping info into his wristband. "She'll be able to - why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's Torchwood. Tosh isn't with the Agency."

"Jeez. At least I got brainchick's name right. Hey, it was just a slip of the tongue. Not my fault if my mind goes to mush when I'm around you."

"Wake up. You're living in the past."

"It's all I have," said John, soberly.

"It's all I have," said John, soberly.

That is a killer last line, doesn't half make me feel for John. Good stuff!

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Big smile - thank you.

I swear, you will have me pining after John before long.


You want "alley" where you've got "ally".

you will have me pining after John before long.

Proud smile.

And thank you so very much re "ally" and "alley", proving myself yet again the worst proofreader of my own stuff ever born.

that last line was brilliant, sums him up so well

great drabble

Thank you for the wonderful comment - much appreciated. I love Captain John, and I love looking at what makes him tick. All roads so often leading back to Captain Jack, of course. But John and his situation are just so interesting.

[hab318princess.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm having him back in my bigbang fic as well - cause he's great

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

I heartily approve!

(And can't get enough.)

[hab318princess.livejournal.com]

Nope, me neither, he's got room to grow and become a goodie...

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

A nice complicated personality and a sense of style. And cheekbones.

[hab318princess.livejournal.com]

hm, remind you of someone - if Jack can do it, so can he!

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

I like the way you think.

[sistercarrion.livejournal.com]

Whee! Me too!

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

You make me a happy fan, both of you.

[sistercarrion.livejournal.com]

Oh John :( Stop dwelling, it does you no good..
(Nice work BTW!)

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

But... but... dwelling is one of the things he does so beautifully!

Thanks for commenting.

I heartily approve of online comics. All the better when it's Torchwood. Thanks for the link!
