Setting/Spoilers: Set pre-series. Slight spoilers for Fragments and Doctor Who Parting of the Ways.
Summary: Jack contemplates his broken vortex manipulator.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: A second fill for the square Leather/Firmament
The strap was old, its leather well worn and flexible where once it had been stiff and new, scuffed where it used to be shiny.
Back in his Time Agency days, and even after he turned rogue, it had been his ticket to adventure, all of time and space accessible at the touch of a few buttons. But not anymore; its circuits had burned out making the jump to Earth, leaving him marooned here, condemned to spending eternity in one place.
All he could do was stare at the heavens and pray that his Doctor would return for him soon.
The End
Thank you.
I had an idea to use the wrist strap for one of my leather fills too... you beat me to it :-(
Mine will have a bit of a happier ending for Jack though :-)
Looking forward to seeing your take on it! Happy endings are good =)
Thank you.
It's tough to be Jack.
Thank you.
Great drabble.
Thank you.
It didn't really get any better when the Doctor DID eventually showe up either.
Thank you.
Thank you!
Reading this I couldn't help but wonder why Jack would give up his vortex manipulator then I knew it was because he and Ianto and Doctor Donna(I love Donna almost as much as Tosh) are traveling together in the boys Tardis.
Ooooh, I really like your theory! Yes, I'm sure they are! I love Donna too, maybe Tosh is travelling with them as well. And Owen. How about PC Andy for Donna? I think they'd make a cute couple. The TARDIS is plenty big enough for them all. Or maybe Rhys left Gwen for Donna...
Thank you =)
