Doctor Who Drabble: Wrong

Title: Wrong
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Tenth Doctor, Jack Harkness.
Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 403: Bête Noire at dw100.
Spoilers: Utopia.
Summary: The Doctor doesn’t want Jack anywhere near him.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters.




He’d liked Jack when they’d first met, disapproved of his ways but still, he’d been a decent enough sort, if a bit over-friendly. A rough diamond perhaps, someone the Doctor could polish into shape given enough time. He’d been a good travelling companion, entertaining with his outrageous stories, and he’d certainly been brave, willing to throw himself into danger to help others, but now…


The Doctor can scarcely bear to be near him, never mind look at him. Jack is wrong, a fixed point, something that shouldn’t exist.


He wants Jack gone, to never have to look upon him again.



The End

Poor Jack. :( The Doctor was unnecessarily cruel to him.

Yeah, it wasn't as if Jack chose to become immortal; it was done to him, by accident, but he has to live with the consequences forever =(

Thank you!

Oh, I like how the Doctor's thoughts suddenly change.

He was so unfair to poor Jack. Sometimes I think the Doctor never really bothered to get to know him at all, only ever saw the surface, and ten when Rose accidentally made Jack immortal it was as though the Doctor blamed Jack.

Thank you!
