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.

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. :)
