Drabble: Like Father, Like Son

[aibhinn_fics]

Title: Like Father, Like Son
Author: aibhinn
Word Count: 100, according to Word for Windows
Characters: Jack, Rose, Ten, OMC
Pairing: Jack/Rose/Ten
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Spoilers: None
Summary: Getting his memories back might give Jack more than he bargained for.
Author's note: Just a little something that occurred to me. It might become part of a later fic; it might not.


Jack watched the boy—Dennis—go past with his friends, his heart in his throat. The way Dennis moved—the way he laughed—the tilt of his head—

Rose squeezed his hand in comfort. The Doctor stepped closer, pressing his suit-jacketed shoulder against Jack's. Neither spoke.

At last Jack broke the silence. "He has my eyes," he said.

A young girl, spotty and painfully shy, tried to edge around the group of boys. Dennis noticed, and with Jack's trademark grin, opened the door for her. She blushed as she went through.

Rose smiled. "He has your heart, too," she said.

"He has your heart, too,"
This so made my heart melt.

[aibhinn-fics.livejournal.com]

Oh, good! Melty hearts--exactly what I was going for. :D

I avoid OT3 like the plague don't normally read OT3, but I figured... it's a drabble, and it's by you and I'm not at all disappointed that I made an exception. This is fantastic. :)

sorry, that sounded rude, I just meant how can you not like the cuteness that is OT3? lol, I know you're entitled to have your own opinion an all, I just don't understand :)

[dave7.livejournal.com]

I hate hijacking aibhinn's thread - sorry! - so, despite myself, I'll be brief.

There's a lot of things I read that, as a straight male, surprise people - OT3 just isn't one of them.

I don't think it's cute and I have a lot of trouble wrapping my mind around it - three people loving each other equally? Sex is one thing, but love? Yeah, no.

Aliens and, heck, a time-travelling phone box aside, to appreciate something I see or read, it needs to be realistic. I need to be able to connect with characters on an emotional level. To do that, their emotions need to seem real to me. I can appreciate slash without blinking an eye, but OT3 just isn't something I can get behind.

And that's all I'm going to say here - if you want to continue the discussion feel free to hop on over to my journal or email me. :)

[aibhinn-fics.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow! I know you're not an OT3 fan, so this means even more. Thank you! :)

[dameruth.livejournal.com]

Now it's my turn to say, "Oh, Jack . . .!" Aaaaaww!

[aibhinn-fics.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the bunnies are eating my brain again. Glad you liked! *g* Will you be around today? I've got free weekend minutes on my cell; I could give you a jingle.

[dameruth.livejournal.com]

I'm working for the afternoon -- I should be back home around 7:30-ish, though, if that works.

Rose smiled. "He has your heart, too," she said.
awww, just beautiful :) x

[aibhinn-fics.livejournal.com]

:) Thank you!

[mickey-sixx.livejournal.com]

My heart just exploded with the cute! :D Oh, this is beautiful.

[aibhinn-fics.livejournal.com]

So glad you liked it!

[leighleighla.livejournal.com]

mrow. So cute. I <3. *hugs OT3...and Dennis*

[aibhinn-fics.livejournal.com]

So glad you enjoyed it! (And I adore your icon!)

[leighleighla.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I hope you don't mind that I friended your journal. I'm a big fan of your fic. :)

[aibhinn-fics.livejournal.com]

I don't mind at all! :) That's what the fic journal's for!

[wendymr.livejournal.com]

*hugs Jack*

This must hurt like hell. And I hope it does become part of a longer piece, because he deserves to get some kind of resolution out of this.

What is lovely is the comfort offered by both the Doctor and Rose, each in their own trademark ways. I can completely visualise that scene in my head. Beautiful.

[aibhinn-fics.livejournal.com]

Oh, yay! I'm so glad you enjoyed it, because you and Dave were the ones who inspired me with your recent drabbles. :):):)

[phdelicious.livejournal.com]

*huggles Jack*

A lot of emotion packed into this little piece. I hope you do get the chance to expand it.

[aibhinn-fics.livejournal.com]

The bunnies are eating my brain, so it looks like I will do. :) Thank you! And Jack thanks you for the huggles as well--he can use 'em right about now.

[sunstar77.livejournal.com]

Very sweet. I love your work.

[aibhinn-fics.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

[crimsonkitty88.livejournal.com]

EEEEE! So cute! Especially that last line.

[aibhinn-fics.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.

[effulgent-girl.livejournal.com]

Aw, that last line was too sweet. I'm not a fan of OT3 either and I enjoyed this alot.

[aibhinn-fics.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much!

[tenchrys.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I really enjoyed that ... good drabbles are like hot chocolate on a cold, rainy day (like today)... leave you with a nice warm feeling all over. :) Now to ask the stupid question of the day but I can't figure out what OT3 or OTP stand for; ;could you please enlighten me? Ta! :)

[aibhinn-fics.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I love that analogy--like hot chocolate on a cold, rainy day. :) Thank you!

BTW, it's not a stupid question. OTP = One True Pairing, and OT3 = One True Threesome. It's generally used to indicate a person's favorite character relationships within a fandom. So Doctor/Rose is my OTP and Doctor/Rose/Jack is my OT3. Clear as mud? :)

[tenchrys.livejournal.com]

Thank you... :) So, my OTP would be Ten/Rose and my OT3 would be Ten/Rose/Jack... I feel so much better now that I understand. :D

[aibhinn-fics.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! Always glad to help.

[laurab1.livejournal.com]

Awww :)

[isolus-gurl.livejournal.com]

Nicely done!

[kaymares.livejournal.com]

My turn - Awww! *sniffle* Jack! (hugs Jack)
This was bittersweet and just, well, I want more. (Go figure!)
Please, please expand on this. I think it would be quite a time seeing Jack discover what happened in those 2 missing years.
Can't wait!

[bulky-monster.livejournal.com]

Aww! Supersweet :)

[inthegiggleloop.livejournal.com]

I've just read a few of your fics today and they are amazing. I just became a big OT3 fan after reading some stuff yesterday. Keep it up.

Dennis noticed, and with Jack's trademark grin, opened the door for her. She blushed as she went through.

Rose smiled. "He has your heart, too," she said.

This, right here, is why I adore Jack (esp. S1 DW Jack, I think S1 TW Jack wasn't shown to have it nearly as much S2 TW Jack was much better). Gorgeous as hell, but also has a heart. Thanks for writing this and yes, I'd also like to read more (noticed your new long one but I'm going to wait until it's complete to read it).

[aibhinn-fics.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words so much. :)
