Author:jovialien
Challenge 2011 Doctor/Jack Bingo
Prompt Used: Notches on the bedpost

Disclaimer: I don't own these characters and I'm not making any money from this. If anyone at the BBC wants to offer me a job I'd be happy to change that though!
Summary: Ficlet (200 words) Jack's had a lot of people in his bed, but some cut a little deeper than the others...

Lucia rolled over in the bed, smoke from her cigarette filling the air as she gazed at the blurry photo of the dark haired man with the blue box. “So, this is the great Doctor?”

Jack nodded beside her, taking the photo back and looking at it, even though he'd memorised every detail. “Yep. One of his regenerations anyway. Not sure which.”

Settling into Jack's arms, she blew a stray fleck of ash off his bare chest and shrugged as she snuggled up. “He doesn't look much. What was he, just another one of us notches on your bedpost?”

Kissing the top of her head, Jack shook his. “Some notches are deeper than others, Lucia.”

Rolling her eyes, she whipped the photo from his fingers and sent it drifting down to the floor. “I like to think mine is more of a groove by now.” Inhaling deeply from her cigarette, she blew the smoke out lazily. “So, if I'm a groove, and Michael from the armoury is just a notch-”

“Don't start-”

“-Then what's the Doctor?”

Sighing, as though unwilling to admit it even to himself, Jack shrugged. “He's the bedpost.”

Wonderful idea. It's very interesting to read about Jack and Lucia.

Thanks very much, I seem to be starting my bingo in Jack's past and she just popped in there!

This was lovely. Even though it's short I get an immediate strong sense of Lucia here.

Thank you very much, it's so hard to use a character we know almost nothing about - but at the same time you get a lot more creative licence that way and she seemed a good contrast to how Jack feels about the Doctor. :)

Holy crap. I wasn't expecting anything but fluff from this, and then you completely blew me away with that last sentence.

[jovialien.livejournal.com]

*grins* Hopefully in the good way.

[canaana.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. :)

Poor Jack. So sad.

[jovialien.livejournal.com]

He does have a bit of a hard time, but I do try to give him some fun along the way too.

that was awesome! love the way it summs up how much the Doctor means to Jack

Thanks very much! Its strange how there are some people in your life who are just so much more than all the others, that no matter what you do they are always a part of you. Some memories or people just can't ever be forgotten or replaced, you matter what you have to do to live without them.
