Rating: R (for language and themes)
Pairing(s): Jack/Ten (passing); Jack/Eleven
Spoilers/warnings: PLEASE READ LIKE WHOA. Here be noncon, though not between Jack and the Doctor. It’s not graphic, but it’s a key theme. Please practice self-care and skip if you need to.
Summary: It had been a rumor among the Agency's cadets. A bubble of time, carved out of the heart of a diamond dwarf star, accessible only to people with the right tickets. An infinite number of unusual, sometimes forbidden, always expensive delights, there for the looking/smelling/tasting/taking, depending on your budget, schedule, and personal inclinations. Cantralian. Part smuggler's den, part menagerie, part freak show, part paradise. The officers denied it. The Agency denied it. The Doctor hadn't answered when he'd asked, just looked away.
Author’s Notes: This is not where I expected this would end up when I started with “pirates,” "marooned," “kept as a zoo creature,” “black humor,” and “making the best of a bad situation.” Thank you to my best handholder, [redacted].
