CHALLENGE: Death
Holidays are over; time to get serious again. So let's come to the most serious topic of them all: death. If you're watching the current series of Torchwood, you'll know what inspired this prompt - but Miracle Day or no, both our boys do have their own special relationship with death.
Jack as we know him can't die. Or rather, he will die, again and again and again, without end, slipping through death's grasp every time. Whereas the Doctor doesn't die like humans do - he regenerates instead. And he can only do it so many times, can't he?
How do our heroes deal? How do they deal with each other? How do they cope with the death they witness in their long lives? Give us Jack and the Doctor, and Death in any version. Final, not so final, witnessed or experienced, or hell, even Death from Discworld coming for a visit. (He should be a good mate of Jack's by now. *g*) Give us the Doctor's reaction to Miracle Day. Give us Jack coping - or not. Anything you can think of - go to town!
In other words, welcome to the Death Challenge!
As a gentle reminder, please don't crosspost stories for this challenge elsewhere until the challenge closes about one month from now. And don't forget - leave a comment on THIS post and tell us what you think the next challenge should be!
