Creator's Summary: Jack Harkness is a conman and a survivor. He doesn't believe in legends. And he shouldn't be running towards the invisible menace—but he is.
Characters/Pairings: Jack Harkness, Ninth Doctor, Rose Tyler
Warnings/Notes: Graphic Depictions of Violence. Couple of allusions to Jack’s sexual exploits, but nothing shown on the page—just slightly more detail than you’d get on the show.
Reasons for reccing: I want to rec this fic for the “Rumour Has It” monthly theme because of how it explores the Doctor’s character from the perspective of Jack’s second-hand, legendary knowledge of Time Lords and of the War. It’s also about Jack’s character arc, and how his view of the Doctor changes as he learns more about both the Doctor and himself. I love stories where characters have their expectations of each other subverted, and this is very much one of those, in a tremendously hopeful and thoughtful way. Oh, and there’s also a great action plot!
