#Immortal Captain (Jack Harkness)

[jubileepizza]

The absolute crime that was Jack Harkness being a total enthusiastically knowledgable technology geek being written out of his character for torchwood. You wanna write a sex icon without his most attractive quality?? Come on now. Give the man his passion back.

Jack held Ianto in his arms when dying, the only time he could repay Ianto for all the times he held a dead Jack in his arms. He would never be held by his love again as he was dragged back to life

Do you think Jack Harkness acknowledges or even remembers his birthday anymore?

[drop-dead-dropout]

y'all ever have that one character in your fandom who you see and you're instantly like Oh that's the town bicycle. that's the poly/open relationship/vaguely nonmonogamous one who has slept with or dated literally everyone. like you look at them and you just know that that is what they are

[fully-embracing-my-autopsy]

"we need more weird queer characters"

Some of y'all can't even be fucking normal about Captain Jack Harkness and his preference for sexual relationships. You put him in fics and make sex his only personality. Because he jokes about it a couple of times?? Because he can have a no-strings-attatched relationship because he's fucking immortal? Because he has a large back-catalogue cuz he's older than any human because again, he's immortal???

Leave aroallos the fuck alone

yall i want to say something most folks would disagree with me on....

miracle day wasnt that bad to a small degree

like HEAR ME OUT

the concepts of jack becoming mortal and everyone immortal. like thats an interesting take, has potential

why america tho? i know we are freaks and crazy in levels you didnt know exist but like its clear in the doctor who... europe is more fucked then us

like yall have some weird ass freaky aliens coming to your place and trying to kill you. obv sometimes its goes worldwide and they trying to kill all of us. but its clear the aliens are either afriad of us or they're chill with us

"we want 10% of your kids to use them for drugs"

"oh sure dude. thats some freaky shit you do, but hey, we do child trafficking all the time. let me see if carlos got a batch for you"

(im sorry thats so fucked 😂)

anyway

making rex immortal cuz he had jacks blood inside of him. stupid asf. here's why. for one that we are all aware of. if jack bloods makes ppl immortal then john is immortal because in kiss kiss bang bang, he was injected with all torchwood members blood which includes jack blood

two, you know how old this gay is? someone (who knows his condition) prob got his blood and experimented on it by injecting someone or an animal with it. another way, jack blood had to splatter on someone open mouth (cuz they were shock), which cause them to ingest some of his blood.

three, jack loves sex (and other things, he loves many things besides that). you know what some ppl do? bite and sometimes too hard where you bleed. you what there also is? some really kinky shit that includes blood and pain. i aint judging but its a thing. so some of his blood might have been ingested by some of his sexual partners

im just saying. the whole jack can heal ppl with a kiss is completely fine and fun asf but making folks immortal is where i draw a line

Jack: What if I press the brake and gas at the same time?

Owen: The car takes a screenshot.

Ianto: For the last time, get the fuck out.

WIP fic #1

Title: Immortal Angel

Fandom(s): Torchwood, Doctor Who

Chapter: One

Characters: Jack Harkness, Ianto Jones, Gwen Cooper, Clem (Clement MacDonald), Brian Green, UNIT

Pairing: Jack Harkness, Ianto Jones

Summary: Jack Harkness finds a way to bring Ianto Jones back to life. The question is, did he bring him back permanently? And what kind of trouble will they get into?

“It’s all my fault-”

“No, it’s not”

“Don’t speak. Save your breath.”

“I love you”

“Don’t-”

…

“No! Ianto? Ianto! Stay with me! Stay with me, please!”

…

“If I could swap places with you, I would-”

…

“Then I’d have to live without you-

Hey. It was good, yeah?”

“Yeah…”

“Don’t forget me-”

“Never could”

“A thousand year’s time, you won’t remember me-”

“Yes I will. I promise, I will.”

…

“No. Don’t. Oh, don’t, Ianto

No no no…”

…

“Won’t forget-”

…

Jack came back to life with a soft gasp. He sat there, waiting for his memories to come rushing back. Then it hit him, and Jack sobbed. Ianto was gone. Gwen came over, tried to comfort him, but it was as though there was a piece of him missing. Jack stood and left the building. He ran until he no longer could, and then continued running, all the way to where the ruins of the Hub were. Digging through the wreckage, Jack found his desk, still in one piece. Frantically pulling open drawers and tossing around their contents haphazardly, he finally pulled out a small canister. This was what he had been searching for. He ran again. Through the night and day, until he reached Thames house once more. Straight to where Ianto’s body lay, still unburied. It took a day and a half each way to run, and he was nearly out of time.

Jack knelt next to him, laying Ianto’s head in his lap. He opened the canister, watching as the shimmering golden particles floated around him. “Can you help him?” The particles buzzed, then swarmed around Ianto. “I’m so sorry, cariad-” A tear fell, splashing on Ianto’s cheek. A few more followed, and then Jack heard the softest intake of breath. “Ianto?” It took a moment, and a bit of coughing, before Ianto started to breathe. He sat up, looking around in confusion. “Oh god, you’re okay-” Jack reached for him, wanting nothing more than to pull the young man close and never let go. “Jack? What’s going on? Jack, why are you crying?” Ianto reached out, wiping away the tears that stained the Captain’s cheeks.

“Where are we?” Jack helped him to stand, and then hugged him tightly. “What do you remember, Ianto?” “I remember stopping the outbreak and Provictus, but not too much more than that…” “Oh no-” At that moment, Gwen burst into the room. “Oh good, Jack you’re here again. We have a pro-” she stopped mid-sentence when she noticed Ianto. “What? How? Jack, what’d you do?” “I’ll explain later. What’s going on, Gwen?” “The 456 are trying to kill Clem, and Green is trying to use Steven as a relay to send the 456 signal back to them.” Jack’s face went white. “Fuck. We have to stop him.” He hurried out of the room, adrenaline once more fueling him. Ianto and Gwen hurried after him. “Who’s Steven?” “Jack’s grandson.” “Jack has a grandkid?” “You don’t know?” “Gwen I just woke up in this strange building with Jack crying and the last thing I remember is stopping that outbreak…” “Oh. We’ll catch you up later, right now we have to figure out how to stop the 456.” “456?” “A sadistic alien race that essentially gets high off of pre-pubescent children.” “What the fuck?!??” “And they want 10% of all those kids on Earth.”

They found Jack, and just in time too. He was standing over Brian Green, gun cocked. “Tell me one good reason why I shouldn’t kill you?!?” Jack demanded. Brian shrugged. “Do it.” ianto put a hand on Jack’s arm. “Cariad, don’t-” “Why not? So much of this is his fault!” Ianto nodded, motioning for the UNIT members scattered about the perimeter of the room to take Green into custody. “Maybe, but you don’t need another man’s blood on your hands. Let’s figure this out together, how to stop them, okay?” Jack took a deep breath and put away his gun, watching as UNIT led their captive away. They joined Gwen, who was attempting to reassure Clem that the aliens wouldn’t kill him.

Ianto was the first to come up with an idea. “Gwen, you said they were going to use Steven as a relay?” “Yes.” “Why him?” “Because they talk through the kids, and he’s a kid.” “It would have worked, but it would have killed him, because he’s so small,” Jack interjected. “Okay.” “They also talked through me, but I’m not a child,” Clem spoke up. “Why you?” “They almost took me when they first came. I got away.” Ianto took a moment to think. “Jack, would it kill an adult?” “No. The worst that would happen would be a nosebleed.” “Okay, then we use Clem as a relay. Clem, would you be willing?” “Will it make them go away?” “It should stop them, and make them leave. Then we’ll be safe, and it will all be thanks to you.” Ianto gave him a friendly smile. “...Okay, I’ll do it. But then you leave me alone too.” “Alright, we will.”

They all worked fast, afraid they were running out of time. They built a rudimentary device, but functional, that when the 456 attempted to send them a message again, it would instead go through Clem and be sent right back at the 456, and hopefully destroy them. Gwen went to the room the aliens were in, to keep an eye out for what might happen and to report back. Jack and Ianto worked together quickly, and it wasn’t long before the 456 sent another signal. They watched as Clem started convulsing, blood trickling out of his nose, and then he stopped, still alive. Gwen’s voice came in over the comms. “They’re gone. It looked almost like they exploded, then there was a fiery beam of light and now I’m staring at an empty tank. They’re gone, you did it!” She ran back to them. Ianto was helping Clem clean the blood off his face. As soon as that was done, a UNIT agent stepped forward to take Clem back to where he lived.

At that moment, the doors opened again, a woman and child Ianto did not recognize ran straight to Jack. He embraced them, a sad smile on his face. “You’re safe, oh my god you’re okay-” “We’re fine, dad. Is it over?” “It’s over. They’re gone.” “Good.” Jack crouched down so he was eye-level with Steven. “Steven, you’re going to be good for your mom, right? “Yes, uncle Jack!” “Good man.” He kissed the top of Steven’s head before standing again. “I’ll stop by later, Alice, but for now just go home.” “If it’s all the same, I'd rather you stayed away. It’s too dangerous.” Jack looked crushed, but he agreed. He hugged her once more. “I love you. I love you both, never forget that.” Alice smiled, then took Steven with her as they left. “Bye uncle Jack!” Steven waved as he left, and Jack waved back. Once they were gone, he turned to leave too.

Where are you going?” Gwen asked. “Home. Away from here.” “But the Hub-” “Not there. My house.” “You have a house?” Ianto was surprised. “Yeah, had one for years.” “Oh.” Jack headed to the door. “Do you want to come home with me?” Ianto asked him. Jack turned to him. “Come with me, Ianto?” Ianto stepped forward and took Jack’s hand. “Yes.” Jack squeezed his hand, and they left together. Eventually, Gwen went home to Rhys too.

"You're so funny"

Thanks, I died when I was in my early 30s, made immortal, and now I lose everyone I care about or love, forever, and the Doctor can't stand me because of it

And I'm older than them all

[lord-save-me]

I could NOT handle being a sci-fi villain because if I started monologuing that a character's dead just to realize they're immortal I'd just give up out of embarrassment

Jack moves over to the Doctor quickly, putting his one hand on the other's shoulder and the other hand on the Doctor's cheek. "I don't want you to go either." He speaks softly, trying to hide the panic and pain that wanted to settle in on his face. "Don't go, please Doctor."

AESTHETIC NO.2

Carys Harkness-Jones

"Carys... Interesting name. Alzarian maybe?"

"It's Welsh you imbecile sod."

"I just went through three days of torture. My deepest apologies if I'm not a little ray of sunshine."

"Exterminate here. Exterminate there. Doesn't it get boring after all this time? I'm certainly getting bored of it."

"Yeah, sure. Being stuck in an alternative universe was indeed in my weekly plans. 8.30 yoga, 9.00 breakfast, 9.30 running from a Dalek and getting pulled into a rift of time and space and being spit out in an alternative universe. My favourite activity after breakfast, before lunch."

Jack: Sounds like I'm a terrible father over there.

Carys: No, and that's the problem. If you were a dead beat father it would be easier to be angry with you. But you are not.

Throwback Fic Week: a thousand satellites (suddenly discover signs of life)

Fourth up, a thousand satellites (suddenly discover signs of life).

My Eleven/Rose Jack/Ianto Bad Wolf ex-machina fic. When I started writing this fic, I actually only had planned the first two parts, the sad parts, of the story, but then I just kept writing and I realized that these two lonely guys that I cared about so much really deserved a forever with someone who definitely would have wanted it with them. It also started the trend of me using the Bad Wolf as not just a plot mechanic, but a gesture of love, the grand predecessor to my Eleven/Amy/Rory fic series.

Excerpt:

The Bad Wolf is everything and all things. She is everything, everywhere, everywhen. She can see all of time and she can bend timelines to her will. She is the destroyer of the Daleks and the wielder of all-sight and all-power. She has broken timelines, ripped Daleks from existence, unmade entire armies.

But she is also kind.

The Bad Wolf sees her boys, alone and lonely, carving their own personal tragedies out of the universe, and she gives two more people eternity. Her beautiful, wonderful, pink-and-yellow girl and her wonderful, beautiful tea boy- she breathes life into them when they need it most, and turns them into undying.

All the Bad Wolf wants is for the people she loves to stop being alone in the universe, to take care of those she loves. And so that's what she does.
