Drabble: Period Dress

[unfeathered]

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

Title: Period Dress
Fandom: Doctor Who/Torchwood
Author: unfeathered
Characters: Jack, Tenth Doctor
Genre: Gen

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.

::kicks the Doctor:: Yes, wake up, hello! I love ya. Doc, but man, you can be oblivious.

Er. I shall stop ranting at a fictional character now and say that this feels very true and I like it a lot. And I'm glad certain people seem to be getting a clue there at the end. *g*

We-ll, I'm not completely sure that's the reason... but it works for the fic!

And yeah, the Doctor's definitely oblivious to a lot of things! :-)
