Note the "A/N"...

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Jack trembles... it’s pain and grief and loneliness... and Jack can’t stop trembling... Jack’s so very old... and he wonders... why Jack comes back... But Jack clutches him and trembles and breathes hot gulps against his chest and he knows... Jack’s left it millennia... even if it’s... only been since yesterday for him. He has an idea what Jack’s been doing... and... He wants... this moment, to stretch and last for ever, but he knows Jack... knows what forever really is and... this is Jack’s way of dealing with it. Jack begs... hoarse voice pulling at something deep within him, and he gives in, because there’s only so many times he can refuse Jack... and he thinks this is love. He loves Jack, loves this Jack that is so impossibly old, that seeks him... throughout millions of years... loves the Jack that left... that still had a little youth in blue eyes, more brooding and less pain. Loves both Jacks; the same Jack, his Jack...
