Drabble: Jack Wins

[unfeathered]

Oooh, look, I wrote something!

Title: Jack Wins(drabble)
Fandom: Doctor Who/Torchwood
Author: unfeathered
Characters: Jack, Martha
Rating: G
Word Count: 100
Spoilers: Doctor Who Season 3
Disclaimer: Not mine
Prompt (and summary): Jack and Martha swap Doctor stories
Author’s Note: Written for itinerant_vae’s fic fest.


“…I gave up a life of crime for him.”

“Ow, that’s hard to beat.” Martha thinks a moment. “Oh! I spent three months working as a maid in 1913.”

Jack’s mouth shapes a silent ooh of sympathy. He shrugs. “I rebuilt Torchwood for him.”

She can top that. “I walked the earth for a year.”

Then she remembers what Jack spent that year doing for the Doctor, and looks up at him in remorse.

He grins, gently. “Martha, it’s okay.”

Jack’s grin is irresistible. Martha grins back, even while she punches his arm gently.

“Damn, you’re always going to win.”

Thank you! I really like the vibe we got between them, the way they slotted in beside each other so comfortably, so quickly - I'm sure that'll continue. They could have a lot of fun together. Plus there's that both remembering the year of hell thing too. :-)

Beautiful. Perfect. Funny and moving. Thank you!

Wow, thank you. I'm rather chuffed I managed to get funny and moving both into a drabble! :-)

It's great when that happens, it really is. For reader and author, both.

Yes, it definitely is. :-)

Love the friendship and oneupmanship in this one. When I first saw what it was about,I immediately thought about Jack's first death, willingly going off to die for the Doctor, on Satellite 5. That could work too.

Thank you!

Yeah, that's a good one too. I tend to forget about that one in the wake of all the other deaths, but yes, definitely he didn't think he'd survive that one.
