I'm posting this quickly, before I can change my mind, faff with it some more and decide it sucks after all. Also, the last full-length Whoniverse fic I finished was last year's Big Bang, and I need to get back on the wagon. Or something. Also, this is noticeably not drabbles written from prompts *looks shifty* They're coming...

Unbeta'd, post-script to Last of the Time Lords, because if I wasn't a Genficcer, I think I'd probably be a Jack/Martha shipper.

Title: Ways we are Altered
Rating: PG/Gen
Words: ~1,680
Spoilers: Last of the Time Lords

Summary: Martha looked a little lost, surrounded by the belongings of a nine hundred year old pack-rat.

Why do I always think I'm not going to write reaction posts? Because it always happens anyway. Oh, and the icon's an exaggeration, by the way, but I don't have one that says 'random thoughts'.

Before I get going though, and counterpoint to yesterday's rant, this fic makes some interesting points about Jack's approach to, well, life really. I agree that Jack cries more easily and freely than your average 20th century bloke (I like the reasons given in the piece). I still object to 'collapsing in a gooey mess' stories but maybe there should be more crying!Jack fics out there.

There's a challenge for all the writers on my flist – write me Jack crying, for whatever reason strikes you at the time. *puppy eyes* Please?

*ahem* Moving swiftly on...

( A Day in the Death – thinky, happy post. Or 'I may as well subtitle my journal 'all about Jack' and have done with it' )
