Spoilers/Warnings : Uhm, none unless you know nothing about British History
Summary : Its a drabble, the summary would probably be longer than the fic, lol

Jack lay on the damp hillside, looking up at the scattered stars glittering in the dark blue velvet of the sky. Rolling his head, he could see the blood red glow of the city burning.

 

He reached out a hand to the sky, trying to capture a fist full of stars, as children would.

 

“What are you doing?”

 

Jack tilted his head back to look at the owner of the voice.

 

“Reaching for the stars, Doctor.”

 

The Time Lord hauled him to his feet, kissing him lightly.

 

“1666 is back on track, and London burns. Let’s go capture our stars.”

I used to do that when I was a kid (:

Reaching for the stars that is, not watch London burn :P

I used to watch londons burning, but that was a slightly dodgy show about firemen, lol.

I remember wishing on a few stars, but not trying to catch them, ;-))

Hope you enjoyed it.

I LOVED London's burning. Got a tad silly towards the end, but the early series' were fab

[amythest-n-ice.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know what you mean. By the end of the last series, I wasn't terribly heartbroken about it getting cancelled.

Malcomb, the quasi-posh one, was my favorite.

Wow, great drabble. Don't know the history, but it sounds familiar.

Really glad you liked it.

Great Fire of London, when the majority of the old city burned to the ground. Started in a bakery in pudding lane.

FYI, there was a fifth Doctor episode called, I think, The Visitation, which had the Doctor accidentally start the great fire of london, right at the end of the story, before hopping it in the TARDIS. As far as I remember, the very last bit was the TARDIS dematerializing to reveal the Pudding Lane street sign.

lol Of course the doctor started it.
A bakery in pudding lane? huh.
