Rec: Touching Blue

Story: Touching Blue
Author: [livejournal.com profile] aeshna_uk (Aeshna)
Rating: All Ages
Word Count: 783
Author's Summary: And, if there was even one reason to be thankful for his strange immortality, it would be that he had lived long enough to reach this moment. For Jack Harkness, the twentieth century wasn't all bad.
Characters: Jack Harkness
Warnings: None

Recced because: It's a sad fact a lot of the best Torchwood authors are nowhere to be found on the Teaspoon, so hurray for [livejournal.com profile] aeshna_uk. Touching Blue is a great snapshot of Jack and historical Torchwood. It's one beautifully simple moment, and unbound in its joyousness. I really feel for Jack here as we're forced to remember just how out of time he is, but in this moment we see him claiming back one small part of everything he's lost, and it's glorious.
