I got bored one day and decided to write this weird bunch of drabbles so... hope you enjoy :)
Episode related: The Parting of Ways (Doctor Who, Episode 13, series 1)
Character: Jack
The eyes are the doors to the soul and these souls have seen death through these eyes. These eyes are old eyes in young faces, these eyes are young eyes in young faces and these eyes have seen so much, too much.
He's backed against the wall, there's no escape for him; this is his end. And he's lying to himself, telling himself he doesn't regret anything, but he does. He regrets so much. He's young, he's so young, he's still got so much life left ahead of him, he's got so many people left to love and leave and he's got so many more battles to fight. He tosses the useless gun away and faces his enemy. Determination, acceptance and a shine of regret in his eyes; his too young eyes. He's determined not to let the Doctor down, he respects, trusts and loves that man with the young face and old eyes, he couldn't bear his disapproval again. He accepts that this is his end, he accepts that this is how he is going to die and he thinks that maybe it was about time, he's been running from death his whole life and it had finally caught up. He regrets; regrets so much but he thinks that, if he's giving his life to help the Doctor, to help the Doctor save the universe, to save Rose, then he thinks that maybe that's not such a bad death after all. And he looks at his murderers with his too young eyes in his too young face and he takes what is coming for him with bravery he never thought he had and when the light leaves those too young eyes in that too young face and his soul escapes through the open doors, he doesn't regret a thing anymore.
I've actually finished all the drabbles, but if I decide I want to add Jenny or Lisa or the Master into it I'll just add them in later on. I REFUSE! to do season 4 of Torchwood (Miracle Day) and I'm not going to do the 11th Doc's stuff cos... I'm still... it still hurts to think of the Doctor as not David Tennent... :/ Thinking of 9 is okay because he came before David but Matt is after David and it's just... :( I'm going to start crying again... :(
