Title: These Five Kisses
Author: [livejournal.com profile] exileonmain
Genre: Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Romance
Rating: PG-13
Other/Implied Pairings: implied: Jack/Jack, Jack/Gwen
Summary: The things Jack remembers when he dies.
Status: COMPLETE
Length: One-shot
Word Count: ~ 850
Warnings: set during Torchwood 2x01 "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," Character death (temporary)
Comment or Excerpt from fic: Oh this is bittersweet, but more towards the sweet side! Jack's thoughts while reviving after John throws him off the building and leaves. Through the blackness of death and memories, Jack's only peace and comfort comes from remembering kisses made memorable by extraordinary people! :)

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Twenty minutes. Give or take.

The process of his body putting itself back together after he died takes twenty minutes depending on how he died. There was rarely any peace anymore when he died. There was black and memories that taunted him from afar, but peace was a thing of the past...

He saw many things in the blank time that he was dead. Sometimes he saw memories... The second the bones started to sync together, the muscles stretched back into place, he was remembering kisses. None were particularly special to the naked eye, but perhaps it wasn't the kisses themselves that were memorable, moreover the people he shared them with.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Oh, this is a magnificent fic, totally gorgeous. I have no words to say, but [livejournal.com profile] louiex said it so perfectly (shamelessly borrowed from her comment... SORRY! ^^;;)... "capturing the longevity of emotional ties to people for an immortal surrounded by mortals."

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Jack collects details.

He takes in the sight of a white wrist peeking out from the sleeve of a suit jacket as he’s handed a cup of tea, and he tucks it away in his mind alongside the scent of the real Jack Harkness’s neck as they danced, and the taste of Estelle, and the sharpness of John’s fingernails on his shoulders, and the freckles of a boy he kissed so many years ago in the future, and the feel of a woman’s lace bodice sometime in the past. He holds them with him, these snippets of the people – from everywhere and by every definition – he’s loved...

... Ianto Jones is not the most, or the best, or the only – but he is the right now, the exhilarating present. His heart is thudding madly against Jack’s chest, and Jack has time to wonder if that’s how it feels to have a second heart...

Status: Work In Progress
Length: One-Shot
Word Count: ~2,073
Warnings: Post Torchwood 1x12 "Captain Hack Harkness," mentions of war and death
Comment or Excerpt from fic: Set in the Fear ‘Verse. This is the second of this verse that I'm reading and it's nothing like the previous. Just like the episode itself, the fic is just so emotional and painful and poignant and just... *huggles both Jack and Ianto tightly*

This episode always make me cry, both with superficial wounds and underlying ramifications...

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

He supposed it was a like reading a book: you could cry over the end where the hero died, and then you could flick back to the beginning and resurrect him again, but you knew in your heart that his fate was ever going to be the same. Captain Jack Harkness was doomed to an anonymous death and nothing Jack could have done would have stopped that without tearing the delicate fabric of space and time to shreds, but that didn’t stop it from hurting.

“You should sleep.” He muttered, needing time to think. Ianto nodded once, gravely, his expression unreadable, and left, leaving Jack feeling even emptier than before.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: I WAS thinking that Caz was gonna leave "MAMoT" and was gearing-up to nag her until she either wrote an epilogue and/or a sequel. Glad I don't have to do that anymore as she decided on the latter... *cheeky grin*

Also, glad it wasn't what I thought it was at the end of "MAMoT"... I was seriously freaking-out! *glares at Caz*

Comment or Excerpt from fic: I swear, I never realized just how hard it is to write summaries to fics! I have special respect for authors now... *LOL* ^^;;

Now, about the fic... It is a beautifully written one! Just one of those fics that make me want to sigh dreamily and melt into a puddle of goo. It is a gorgeous extension based off of the whole last-dance with the original Captain Jack Harkness and the now!Jack's feelings on that matter. I loved how the author incorporated the songs and the feelings into the now and her vulnerable!Jack is wonderful to see, especially when there is a strong!Ianto there to hold-up and bind the pieces of a broken man with his love and understanding. Of course, her perceptive!Tosh is a plus! ^.^

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

He closed his eyes trying to block the song from his brain. It didn’t work. All he could feel was the emotion of that dance he’d shared, that one kiss before he’d been ripped back to the present day...

“The last time I heard that song, I…” he paused unsure how to put it in words... “I lost someone”... “We danced to that song…he died the next day and there was nothing I could do to save him”...

Pausing to flick the music switch... Ianto held his hand out saying, “Come on, Jack, you said you loved this song” he caught Jack’s hand and smiled slowly, “You said the last time you danced to this was with someone you loved. That means you shouldn’t hate the song” he paused, his thumb rubbing Jack’s palm as he spoke, soothing some of the pain with just a touch, “You should cherish it.” He hesitated unsure how Jack would react to his next comment, “Dance with me in his memory?”
