Story: Baby, Your Gaze Gets Me As Hard As Granite
Author: Ten Little Bullets
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 889
Author's Summary: Okay, internet, you wanted fic where a weeping angel falls in love with a human and tragically sends them back in time by accident? Your wish is my command.
Characters/Pairings: Jack Harkness/Weeping Angel
Warnings: None.

Recced because: Did you see that pairing there? What are you waiting for? No, really, this is an amazing ficlet. It’s a pairing of pure crack in concept, but the fic is something else again – a tale of unlikely and doomed love from the pov of a weeping angel, who’s never met anyone like Jack before. It’s funny, creepy, with its own twisted logic, and basically it’s brilliant – with not a word wasted from start to finish, right down to the title.

Good rec! This was such a brilliant fiction and so utterly logical, even as everything about it screams 'CRACK'. The chewy insides were anything but though - just lovely, lovely meta-ey goodness.

Aaaaaah! *does the patented Barrowman "I've just been kissed by David Tennant" swoon* Things I never expected to happen to me: getting recced on calufrax.* I'm all a-flutter.


* Not to be confused with getting wrecked on Calufrax, which is a very long story involving the Corsair's talent for making Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters whose intoxicants are compatible with Gallifreyan physiology. Unfortunately the full truth will never be known, since it would take nothing less than one of the Corsair's Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters to induce the Doctor to tell it in any detail.

^^^^ Ha now I want to rec the 'wrecked on calufrax' addendum above on calufrax

Heeeeee. Now I'm wondering if it can be expanded into a ficlet. They probably woke up in the Bank of England vaults with a teaspoon and a bucket of psychoactive ice chips. And a shopping list with every item except "large gold brick" checked off.

Ha! It was my pleasure! Very much so. It's an amazing fic. And while I'm hardly a reliable prophet, I think I'll predict that this will in no way be the last time!

Especially if you write the thing about getting wrecked on Calufrax, because now enquiring minds need to know... ;-)

That one is absolutely brilliant!

Yes, it is, isn't it? :-)
