Title: Pillow Talk
Author: Lindenharp
Words: 100
Characters: Jack Harkness, Alonso Frame
Rating: teen
Spoilers: The End of Time, pt. 2
Summary: Afterwards, they talk.
A/N: I saw another way of looking at a certain scene in EoT 2. Thanks to my ever-amazing beta, wendymr .



Jack's not into morning-after chats, but in the aftermath of hard, sweaty sex he sees that Alonso needs to talk.

Jack remembers the spaceship that narrowly missed London.  Now he learns the details.  Innocent lives sacrificed to greed.  The Doctor's desperate journey.  Alonso's nightmare on the bridge, wounded and alone.

"They called me a hero... but I got sacked.  Nobody wants to hire a 'hero' from a jinxed ship."

After Alonso falls asleep in his arms, Jack finally understands the Doctor's gift.  Not an opportunity for a casual shag --  instead, a chance to help another wounded soul find healing.

Very nice! And a likely interpretation of the Doctor's intent.
