Drabble: Period Dress

Second drabble for the meme here. This one's for seti_drd.

Summary: The Tenth Doctor ponders on Jack's choice of outfit
Author’s Note: For seti_drd who wanted something Doctor Who/Torchwood.



Jack always used to dress correctly for the period. He blended into the 1940s, and then into 2006, with the utmost ease. Fourteenth Century Japan was harder, but he managed…

But now… He doesn't bother any more. It's as if the years of living in the slow lane have worn down his interest in blending in. As if he got as far as the 1940s again, and just stayed there. It's not an authentic 40s look – the hair especially is far too Twenty-First Century – but it's definitely an homage to the period.

The period when he met the Doctor. Huh.

Thank you - just a little thought that occurred to me. :-)

Who knows what the real reason was? And actually there are two possible reasons here: the getting tired of keep up, and the memory of meeting the Doctor.

The meeting the Doctor bit is two-fold... it's also the time when he went from being a con man and self-proclaimed coward to being a hero.

And then there's the fact JB looks damn good in that RAF coat. Of course he would look damn good in just about anything....

Oooh, yes, I hadn't thought about the con-man to hero bit!

Of course he would look damn good in just about anything....

Yep! *g*

The thought occurs that he'd look better in just about nothing... ;)

Lovely drabble, by the way.
