Dancing
Fic: Dancing
Well, I blame community.livejournal.com/calufrax/ for stoking up my innate Four/Romana shippiness with their reckless and inflammatory recommendations of various fine examples of said ship during the course of the past week. I also have had this idea about Four/Romana "dancing" together (either literally or in the Stephen Moffat sense) for some time now, from where I came by it I could not say. So, even though I have WIPs in progress, I wrote this instead. It maybe gets a bit racy, but rest assured I bottled out when it came to portraying, er...actual physical relations. Feedback etc. always welcome. As always, while it would certainly be nice and possibly financially rewarding were I to own Doctor Who and its associated properties, alas I do not; they very definitely belong to the BBC:

Re: Chapters 17 and 18
Yeah, they could have frozen them, couldn't they? Well, maybe they weren't thinking straight in the circumstances, and as you say Torchwood seems to be the kind of organisation that shoots first and asks questions later.
Jack does have this very dark, ruthless streak. It's the other side of his character, I suppose, and it even comes out in the Who stories as well as TWood; I'm thinking of that bit in Sound of Drums when he suggests just walking up behind the Master and breaking his neck. So, yes, he's a professional, and he'll do things people like the Doctor would never do; I think the thing is he does have a sense of humanity that holds him back from becoming a total monster. As you say, though, sometimes he does seem a bit too quick to resort to the most extreme methods, almost enthusiastic in doing so.
