Characters: Jack, the Doctor’s hand
Rating: G
Spoilers: Doctor Who: The Christmas Invasion, Torchwood: Day One, End Of Days.
Summary: Jack’s thoughts when he first got the Doctor’s hand
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters, or Doctor Who either.
A/N: For Zealith on AO3, who said: ‘I would love to see how Jack got a hold of the Doctor's hand or his reaction to first getting it.’ This is the short version, but I’m working on a longer fic written as a set of drabbles with an altered version of this as one section.
Jack stared morosely at the hand in its jar. Over a century of waiting for his Doctor and all he had to show for it was a severed hand. He didn’t know whether to feel hopeful or insulted.
On the one hand (the one in the jar), it would serve as a Doctor detector. On the other hand (the one still attached to the Doctor), he was no closer to finding out what had happened or why the Doctor had left without him.
He was trying so hard to be patient, but he needed answers only the Doctor could provide.
The End

Severed hands (or any severed body part) can't help but be creepy, and Jack was WAY too fond of the hand...
Thank you.

Date: 2014-01-30 02:42 pm (UTC)Yeah, with the way the Doctor abandoned him, poor Jack has no idea what happened - either to himself, the Doctor and Rose, or the other people on the gamestation. He was just left stranded with a load of corpses and no way to easily get of the abandoned station. Then he had to wait for over a century to find out why. =(
*hugs Jack*

Thank you.

He has Ianto now though, so he doesn't need the Doctor any more.
Thank you.

The severed hand is creepy - but I cant think of it without thinking of the outtake where JB is licking it, which just makes me laugh :-)

(I wonder what fake severed hands taste of...)
