Buckle in kids, time for feelings. Here\u2019s my problem. <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Jack is lonely.<\/b> Jack is lonely, and he tries to help people to cover it up. But it doesn\u2019t work, because even though they say thank you, they still move on. Then he is left alone again, to find the next problem. He thinks if he fixes all their problems, if he can fix everything that\u2019s wrong with the world that he\u2019ll find the way to fix himself. <b>To fix it so he doesn\u2019t have to be alone forever<\/b>. Jack wants to die. He wants to be able to die one day, because that\u2019s <i>his greatest fear.<\/i> \u00a0Being alone. He\u2019s afraid that one day, it\u2019s going to be just him. The last one, the face of humanity, surrounded by a world that isn\u2019t his anymore. <b>And he\u2019s terrified. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>And the Doctor? The Doctor knows this about Jack and he understands. Because he\u2019s going through the exact same thing. Jack\u2019s greatest fear is the Doctor\u2019s reality. <b>And yes, these lines never happened in the show. But they should have. Because right here, this? This is a last stand.<\/b> This is two people, one who is losing everything he cares about with each tick of the clock and has been for centuries. And the other, who lost everything already, and is just eking by with as much debris from his fallen world as he can, trying to be the guardian angel to a world that doesn\u2019t know we need him.<\/p>\n<p> And that is why, <b>I will go to my grave shouting the importance of Captain Jack Harkness. <\/b>He\u2019s a foil, a lost and lonely time lord in the making. Jack chases down partners and danger without a care in the world, a way to feel a connection, to feel alive. The Doctor? He drifts through time, chasing an adrenaline rush, a way to feel a connection, to feel alive. They are immortals, caretakers with a death wish, who are just aching to try and get somewhere they haven\u2019t been. These two recognize what they are, what the other is. The Doctor sees who he started as. Jack see who he might become. And they both hate and love each other for it. The doctor prods Jack onto the right path, even as Jack shows the Doctor lessons he\u2019s somehow missed. And in the end? They both know they can\u2019t die. Oh, the Doctor can die at some point, but he\u2019ll never be dead. Why? <\/p>\n<p>Because of Jack. If Jack stays on the path he\u2019s following? He\u2019ll be the only one left when the universe falls apart. He\u2019ll outlive the doctor. <\/p>\n<p>He\u2019ll be the last and only Time Lord, even though Jack was never one at all. He was simply human. And we\u2019re the ones who constructed time. <\/p>\n<p>Jack\u2019s just the poor sod who got roped into living through till the end of it. And Jack? <\/p>\n<p><b>He\u2019ll remember everything. Forever. <\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>hums-happily: merindab: for cuddlyharkness Alright.
