Yeah yeah. Decided to do this finally... Shame on me.
Wedding Dress by Taeyang
He was married only once, but he didn't even remember when that was. Twenty years ago, thirty… forty? Maybe it was fifty. But he remembered when she left him. It wasn't the constant flirting, or the dangerous Torchwood lives. It was just the fact that Jack was… well Jack –just minus the flirting.
Lucia really loved him; she really did. At first at least. But then time passed, they had a child, a beautiful daughter whom they called Melissa. Then things changed, and the mother instinct came over. She alienated herself from Jack and things fell apart. And their daughter, their beautiful daughter was in the middle of it.
So Jack was surprised when he received a wedding invitation to give Alice Sangster away.
Years and years later, with the help of a little futuristic tweaking, he found himself staring at the same scene again, hidden away. His daughter was beautiful in the wedding dress. He wished he could be walking down the aisle with someone else.
You Found Me by The Fray
The corner of First and Amistad was an empty place, if such a place existed in reality. It did in Jack's mind though. He walked and wandered the Earth, just trying to run and forget the ghosts. He waited for a sign, waited for him. He waited to wake up.
We waited for a call from an out of place police phone box.
Something that almost never came. But it did. On the corner First and Amistad. That's where Jack Harkness lost God. Because in the end they were all alone. The Doctor made him see.
"You've finally found me," the captain accused, "Where were you when everything was falling apart? Just a little late?"
The storm came in between, but the Doctor made Jack see. They were all just lost little sheep, surrounded my misery and grief. The Time Lord didn't have to say it and Jack didn't have to get that impression from him either. It was just the past and history, the storm. It was all in the eyes.
Over My Head by the Fray
The world was mechanical as a grandfather clock. Tick tock, tick tock. People were just waiting, waiting for something to happen as they lived their apathetic lives. And because nothing happens, they just sit and look back into the past, have a nostalgic moment and that'd be the highlight of the day. In life, nothing happens until you make it happen.
Two people finally understood that in the midst of hurt and tragedy. A woman and a doctor. They thought too far and when it was needed the most, they thought near.
Now they were the past, while they looked into the future. In the silence, the ground beneath their feet shattered and they were free to feel again. Free to think, the ponder, to go beyond the expectations –beyond police and government.
In over their heads some could say, but really they were just plain brilliant.
Savin' Me by Nickelback
He was put in prison once, just for a day. Caught shoplifting. It was dark, damp and dirty. The four walls pressed in on him, the iron bars captured him. He was released the next day.
The fires burned around him.
He was pretty sure after what he'd done, heaven wouldn't let him in either. A broken man, a fallen angel. The world didn't seem like much to him anymore. Just dark, damp, dirty.
The walls fell, the fires burned. The metal woman was all he had left. So he held onto it, he betrayed. Because it was worth it, saving her. He had love, he had compassion. He felt like there was still some meaning.
Now all that was gone and everyone else saw him as just another dirty man. He screamed and called, just wanting someone to pay attention, to hold him and to comfort him.
No one heard.
Was it worth saving him? Yes, yes of course it was.
And someone did.
Run by Snow Patrol
Death was always quick. Painful… but quick. He'd catch snatches of voices sometimes. Voices he had once let down. But this new lot, oh they taught him so much. To light up the torch even if all hope was lost. And the running, he loved it. The louder they laughed as they ran the better. Adrenaline rushing through his veins, the buzz in his head.
But of course it ends. It always does. He tried to be strong, but we're all still human. And we all cry, shed a tear or too. Because this lot told him how to live, taught him how to care again.
And the laughter slowed. The train inched along. Was there an easier way for all this, because frankly there wasn't any time?"
But even in death, the voices came again. The loud laughter that told him to hold on, to have heart.
We can just call them "that lot" or we can give them a name. A name to remember.
Torchwood. They're Torchwood. And that's Captain Jack Harkness right there.
And louder, slower, whatever. You'd better run.
LOL K-POP FTW. jk.
This is the first five. I'll write and upload the next five in a few days. I'm leaving town tomorrow so... Stick around for more!
