biancurath: actually the fairies in Torchwood do look dangerous and in some cases mermaids look dangerous too. Thanks. He's not dead he just can't find Jack.
Set before the end of season 1
Jack and Gwen stopped and looked at a shooting star.
"Wishing for the right type of doctor?" Gwen asked.
"No wishing for a pair of gloves I lost the ones Ianto gave me."
"He's not going to be happy about that."
"Do you think he'd believe that an alien ate them?"
Gwen laughed. "Nope. You might never get coffee again."
Jack pouted. "Speaking of coffee I wonder why he didn't get me coffee unstead of gloves...Or a more physical gift," Jack added with a wink.
"Don't go there Jack."
Jack pouted again. "So what did you wish for?"
"Some hot chocolate, its bloody freezing out."
"Yeah it is. We should probably be going back." But they gazed at the night sky for a while longer before getting into the car and driving back to the hub.
