A little something I came up with today on the way to work.
Title: Temptation (drabble)
Fandom: Torchwood/Doctor Who
Author:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
unfeathered
Character: Jack Harkness
Genre: Gen
Spoilers: Last of the Time Lords
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Summary: There are some things that need to be remembered.
The retcon’s sitting there on his desk, looking seductive and oh so tempting. But Jack needs to remember.
He needs to remember there’s a man called the Master who apparently has a very nasty tendency to come back from the dead.
He needs to remember how good it feels to be back with his team after that year on the Valiant; how lucky he is to have them.
And he needs to remember the Doctor, because it might be another hundred and forty years before he sees him again and until then the memories, however painful, are all he has.

I imagine anyone would be tempted to retcon that year away. And I sure wouldn't count the Master out, funeral pyre or no funeral pyre.

It hadn't occurred to me till today, but - hell, yeah!

Definitely not. And I'm sure Jack's been doing his research on the Master :-)

And the ending? ouch. Love it. *mems*

This actually came about because of you mentioning retcon in your spider drabble - I tend to forget about it but it made me think what else Jack might use it for...
Good thing our hero's made of stern stuff :-)

I can just imagine him sitting there at his desk, night after night, not reconning himself...

RTD did that.
I'm just dealing with the after-effects! *g*

(I just love that word. Whump whump whump. Ahem.)
I was referring more to the tendency of fic writers to whump him, or at least to explore the areas where you'd reasonably expect him to have problems after what RTD did to him.
I have a couple of things in mind (not coming out at the moment, unfortunately) which ignore parts of canon but whump him in different ways. Wonder what psychological twist makes that happen. You always hurt the ones you love.

LOL - great definition of Jack!

I know you were :-)

And we adore Jack Harkness *g*

And you just know we'll be seeing more of the Master at some point - and the Doctor and Jack know it too... *g*
