Comment or Excerpt from fic: I have a deep love for any fics that show the journey of a character through life, their growth both mentally and physically. And in Torchwood, the journey of Captain Jack Harkness in one of the more interesting subjects, especially because of his immortality. I can honestly say that when I read this fic, one of the first words in my mind was "Perfect." It's a wonderfully written piece!

EXCERPT:
Jack can still smell the deep scent of black leather wherever he goes.
It’s on him, it’s in him, and it doesn’t matter that he sometimes scrubs himself with so much force he bleeds, he can never get rid of it.
The smell wafts around him like a ghost. It’s a constant reminder of what he lost and it won’t stop haunting him... he’s still tormented by a battered leather jacket and Northern accent even as he dreams...
... but he’s found other reasons to value life, reasons that don’t always include a Time Lord and his blonde Companion, and it’s surprised him... In the still of the night Jack clings to Ianto... as Ianto continues to care for him, and nothing else seems to matter much anymore. Things have changed, people have changed, and Jack has another home now. It’s worlds away from the Blue Box but it’s his, and it just might be enough.
