Title: Tall Tales

Author: [livejournal.com profile] badly_knitted

Characters: Jack, Team

Rating: PG

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: Jack has an endless supply of amusing stories to tell.

Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.

A/N: For [livejournal.com profile] mahmfic’s prompt ‘Tales’






Jack was a spinner of tall tales, so his team took everything he said with a grain of salt. His claims were far too outrageous to be true, but they were fun to listen to so no one really minded.



Of course, most of Jack’s tales involved sex. There were stories of his sexcapades with boyfriends and girlfriends, humans and aliens; anecdotes about the historical figures he’d bedded during his many years on earth; long, rambling accounts of the hair-raising adventures he’d had with the Time Agency.



No one would have believed that his wildest tales were the absolute truth.



The End

Being from the 51st Century, Jack would have no reason to lie about his claims, given his lifespan and I find it funny that his team couldn't figure there had to be some truth to what he claimed. And knowing he was a Companion of the Doctor, they really shouldn't have doubted Jack. Good drabble :D

I have to agree with you but I just wonder; if they had no problem accepting that Jack was 51st Century and immortal, why was it so difficult to accept his tales of exploits. I can see Jack doing everything he said he did but then, we're the audience; T-1 certainly believed he was something, even if kept as a prisoner. His team should have had more faith in him as Ianto did.

Anywho, you got more goodies to write! :D What's the wildcard spot for?

Jack has lived so long and done so much he doesn't need to make anything up!

due to his long live on earth, anything could be true, he is Captain Harkness after all!

Hee hee! You know, I always wondered what an untrue story from Jack would sound like.... *laughs*

Isn't that how it usually goes? The more ridiculous seeming a story is, the more truth it holds. Fun reading!

I think they can not believe because with his coat and way of being, he does some braggart.
He speaks in a fashion joke.
This is too much for them to think that this is true.
It is also true that may be, they do not realize it is so old: he is so young!

It's like that saying: Truth is stranger than fiction.
