I cannot write Torchwood-era!Jack from his own POV, not when the story is about his team.
I can write it from his POV when he's on Doctor Who (i.e. Valiant and post-Valiant fic, and post-end of S4 fic). I can write from his POV when it's pre-Torchwood (e.g. crossovers with Buffyverse). I can even write him with John from his POV in RP.
And I can write Torchwood-era!Jack from other people's POV (e.g. John, Ianto). I have a very clear image of what he looks like when he's talking to them, what he sounds like.
I just don't know what the fuck is going on in his head. I don't know how he feels about them. I can't write it.
Which of course means that one day I will have to try. So far, every time I try, I still just get mannerisms etc. and no actual thoughts or feelings, so I end up just switching to the other person's POV!
