Drabble: Coming Home

Written for donutsweeper who requested Jack/Giles. Originally posted in comments here.

My first attempt at dialogue-only – because the dialogue came first (as always, it seems!) and there wasn't room for anything else in 100 words!

"Has something happened? You seem… happier."

"I am. Bizarrely, considering what I've gone through lately."

"Lately? But…"

"You saw me last Tuesday? Yeah. Been over a year for me, though."

"Time travel?"

"Yep."

"Ah. You found the Doctor?"

"Yep."

"Yet… you didn't stay with him?"

"Hey, the rate I age, I could have stayed away decades and you wouldn't know!"

"True. But you didn't."

"I… got what I wanted. And I missed my old life."

"You mean…"

"Yes, Giles. You."

"I… see. In that case… Suppose you get down on your knees and show me how much you missed me?"

I'm so glad you do! It makes me very happy! :-)

And it looks funny now if you scroll down from the top of the page and see what Giles is looking down at... *g*

Go Giles!
I also love Giles instant understanding of Jack's Time Travel and his rather sexy sujestion of "I… see. In that case… Suppose you get down on your knees and show me how much you missed me?"

I hadn't thought of Giles/Jack before but I like it great stuff.

Now you make me want Ianto/Giles that would be hot - Jack could watch.

Thank you for commenting! :-)

Giles understands so quickly because at this point in the 'verse he's been seeing Jack on and off for years - I've written the first chapter (link to it in the header above) but have been putting off writing the rest while I work on my rather epic Year of Hell on the Valiant fic. But it will get written eventually, and the first fic is pretty much stand alone for now if you want to check it out. *Shamelessly pimps own fic* :-)

I don't think I've seen any Ianto/Giles. Not sure I can imagine it, really!

now that is one pretty image;) the only thing wrong with this is it should be waaay longer!;) I really enjoyed it though, that wasn't a pairing i've ever thought of before!

Thank you!

Did you read Connection first? (Link in the header to this fic.) There will be more of this eventually. One day, probably when I'm done with Master Plan. :-)

*grins* - oh, nice.

I don't get quite the same reaction to it as I got to Connections (of course, it would be a miracle if I did, since they're very different pieces), but I did like it.

And I *loved* the last line. Dom!Giles FTW...

Well, yeah, it's much, much shorter. :-)

And yeah. I was proud of the last line. *g*
