Anyway, you know I love this, paricularly as it touches on something I think a lot of Torchwood fics with Jack in don't address - while he probably *does* want a relationship, if not just sex with someone he knows and likes, his life experience will have been so different from anyone else he's likely to meet (the Doctor's probably the closest he could come, but there are gaping differences even there (do I mean gaping?) - the Doctor usually has a degree of control over what's going on with him, whereas Jack doesn't), it's going to be difficult to meet them on even ground and open to them and if he avoids it that creates just as many problems.
And...yeah. I was pretty sure I had something else to say, but I can't think what just now. I'll yell when I remember (be it middle of blackest night or middle of most pointless GS exam, I shall YELL! *evil laughter that fades into the air*)
