Fanfic Writing Meme #16
Jul. 12th, 2014 02:04 pmI found myself thinking last night about pairings, and while, as I've noted, I don't write romance and don't find any of the canon romances interesting to write about anyway, I did realize that I do have a non-canon pairing that I really like. It's Doctor/Jack, probably specifically Ten/Jack. (Note that I haven't seen Torchwood yet, so I'm considering DW Jack here.) We already know that Jack has a thing for the Doctor. From the other side, Jack is the one person that we know of who will live as long as the Doctor (and outlive him), giving the him at least one respite from his loneliness. Jack may not be a Time Lord, but the Doctor mostly has never gotten along with his own people on a personal level (except for Romana), so maybe a human would be better for him. Jack is an evolved human, and has a much better understanding of time and the universe than modern humans, and he has a similar moral compass to the Doctor. And lastly, Jack is fiercely independent while also reliable (and constant when he commits himself). He seems to be the perfect mate for the Doctor. And then, of course, from the audience point of view, the Doctor (both Nine and Ten) and Jack worked together so well (I wish Mr. Barrowman had been available for "A Good Man Goes to War" so that we could have seen him with Eleven). So there. I guess if I had to choose an OTP, it would be Doctor/Jack.
