Torchwood drabble! Back to the Owen in the recent past 'verse. No spoilers for Torchwood. Kind of obtuse spoilers for the final three-ep arc of Doctor Who's series three.



There's something Owen isn't saying.

That's fine by Jack. He hardly expects every detail from Owen about that trip into the past. He'll get most of it from Ianto eventually, anyway. But this one isn't about disclosure. This is something Owen needs to let go.

Jack dredges up old Time Agent training, time travel and temporal anomalies, and there. He knows what it is.

Oh god, Owen.

He looks into Owen's eyes and says,

"Toclafane."

Owen goes very still, and Jack finds too late that he doesn't want to hear it.

And for how hard-edged he is. It makes me wonder now if his S2 clowning is just him trying to find normal again.

I nearly died laughing. 2x12, every guy ends up in a compromising position with Jack. (But then there were proto-Torchwood lesbians!).

Excellent that the Plot-hole of Doom has some use to you--I like your fics better than canon already. ^_~

I think it is. He's trying to find some equilibrium. And the background Jack rattled off in "Fragments" does paint a picture of a guy who might be inclined to communicate primarily through sarcasm. *g*

Yeah, the ep definitely solidified my Jack/Owen shipping. Which, considering that I love Owen and think Jack is a bastard, is hilarious, but UST that sparks more than a certain canon relationship cannot be denied!

I like your fics better than canon already.

Heh. Normally I'd be all "I'm not worthy!", but in Torchwood's case, it's just not that hard to improve on canon. XD

Torchwood is like french fries. You just can't stop consuming it, even though you know it's bad for you.

And you say to yourself, "I'm just going to relax and enjoy and not worry about it," but before you know it you're obsessing over everything from caloric content to the fact that the money would have been better spent elsewhere.

. . . I think I kind of killed the metaphor somewhere in there, but you know what I mean.
