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?"

*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*
