Right I have a question for you my darlings. And that question is, do you want me to do the rebel flesh/almost people. I'm happy to do it if you would like to see it but it may slow me down updating. But as I say it's up to you.

'Zazziness': I'm so relieved that my version of 'The Doctor's wife' went down so well. It was a bit hectic to write so I was clinging on to the possibility of it being well received. To be honest, Winter drunk is pretty much me being drunk. I tend to get very cuddly and touchy feely (according to my friends) so I had to give her a similar trait to laugh at myself. I loved the TARDIS as a person too, my only niggly feeling was that I wished they could have got Helena B. Carter to play her because I would marry that woman if I could and it was a very similar role to the style she rocks at. Not that the actress did badly it's just no-one really compares to Carter in that sort of crazy role. I really like writing the little things in between because it means not having to watch the ep in tiny chunks to copy out all of the dialect which is a total pain normally. And the Jack/Jack and Jack/winter just makes it so much fun. Like I said above I'm not sure how I'm handling the next eps I wonder if having two jack and then all of the copies in the actual ep might be a bit confusing which is another reason I was slightly against doing it. Oh well, enjoy Ianto while you can, I have to send him back to his home at some point.

'Sonotalady': Yes I can imagine Amy and Rory are very confused what with to Jacks to deal with and Ianto who they've never met before. What I wouldn't give to see this as an episode, I'd just LOVE to see their faces. I hope you manage to get something done, even if it's small, I do love reading them and they're great for fending off writers block too. But of course don't let it interfere with your work I'm trying to get as much of this written as possible just so I can give a few updates while I'm revising.

'': they really should have a party. Now that we know this Doctor has good taste in music I'm sure a party is inevitable for them. Whether we'll ever see it I don't know. I missed Ianto too. It's one of the things that makes me what to bring Winter back with Fawks again because it invariably means a little bit of Ianto somewhere. Hopefully they get some time to talk at some point…And YEY! SATURDAY! Loved loved loved as usual can't wait for next week :D

'Rachy Babes': unfortunately I've been writing on and Fawks has just done something very stupid and dangerous she will not be the most popular person around for a while. We need more Winter and Ianto. I don't know how but I WILL fit some in somewhere. I just have to find space for it :D You can tell Fawks she can pick the stuff up today after my sister's dance recital. Nemo wants to talk to her anyway so should fit in nicely. I knew you'd like Jack's ending comment, it just fit in so well with him and the story so it got to stay.

ANYWAY, after those mammoth reviews… on with the story.

All the, small things
True care, truth brings
I'll take, one lift
Your ride, best trip

Always, I know
You'll be at my show
Watching, waiting,
commiserating

Late night, come home
Work sucks, I know
She left me roses by the stairs,
surprises let me know she cares

Blink 182 – All the small things

'Coffee?' Winter's eyes widened as she stepped through the door to the kitchen to be met by Ianto holding out a steaming mug. She eyed the porcelain greedily and he laughed handing it over.

'You have to be my favourite person in the entire universe.' He smiled.

'I do my best.' She hummed happily and laid her head on the table. 'Not enough sleep?' he asked, a playful tone to his voice. She smiled but shook her head.

'Plenty, maybe a bit much I'm feeling so lazy. Where's other Jack?' he smiled at the name and sat down opposite her.

'Still in bed. What about yours?'

'Same.'

'Some things never change.' They chuckled and Winter pulled her head off the table, sipping the coffee and examining Ianto.

'You look good.'

'I know.' She laughed and pulled her feet up onto the chair to sit cross legged. 'We've been pretty busy since the blast.' She frowned across the table at him.

'Blast?'

'The hub, when we lost Kam and Lou, the whole place blew, we've been rebuilding since she disappeared but it's been a struggle.'

'Oh God Yan, I'm sorry. I know how that feels, my Hub blew too.'

'Really?'

'Yeah, before I met you lot, it was one of the reasons I was so uncomfortable sitting in there. It just reminded me of my home a little too much. Did you lose everything?' He shrugged and took their mugs to the sink, she grabbed a towel and stood beside him to dry them.

'Obviously we still had our own place but there was all the Torchwood gear and little things.'

'Memories.' She agreed. He nodded and they washed the mugs up in silence.

'Well that's a nice site to wake up to.' Both rolled their eyes and turned to see Fawks leaning on the door frame. She grinned at them both, eyeing up Ianto's dressing gown and Winter's nightdress. 'Morning gorgeous.' Winter raised an eyebrow.

'And which one of us are you talking to?' Fawks laughed and danced forwards kissing both of them on the cheek and grabbing a bunch of grapes from the side.

'I'll leave you to fight it out among yourselves.' She disappeared out of the doorway calling, 'morning Jack.' As she walked. Jack smiled to see them stood by the sink but they both looked at each other and then back to him. With wary eyes Ianto asked.

'Which Jack are you?'

'Can't I just have you both?'

'Yours.' Winter told her counterpart, 'He's wearing a ring.' Other Jack frowned and crossed the room to link hands with Ianto.

'You're no fun.' Ianto shook his head, a smile spreading further and further across his face, his eyes sparkling with happiness.

'Oh I don't know I think we disproved that when we last met.' Winter blushed and chucked the towel at Ianto's face, leaping to the side in time for Ianto to throw some bubbles at her. She picked up a Satsuma from the side and lobbed it over the table. Ianto panicked and pulled Jack in front of himself as a shield. The fruit bounced off Jack's forehead and he span around to look at them both.

'Right, you asked for it.' He picked up the soapy water that Ianto had been using to wash the cups and flung it in Winter's direction. She squealed and dived behind the Doctor as he came in, all smiles and playful happiness. The water hit him head on and he yelled in shock. Winter stood up straight and watched in amusement as other Jack's mouth fell open in surprise. 'Ah…um…I was aiming…I mean…' The Doctor glared at him through sopping wet locks of his dark hair, his tweed coat already darkening as it soaked in the liquid. A burst of laughter from the doorway broke through the awkward tension as Fawks and Amy joined the crowd.

'What happened to you?' Amy giggled.

'I'm not sure I want to know.' The Doctor replied. He shook his hair out a little, spraying everyone with water. Winter decided to step in before he tried to hit Jack with the wok that was dangerously close to hand. She took hold of the Doctor's coat and helped him off with it, flinging the item to other Jack she pulled him from the room.

'Sorry, I didn't realise you would walk in I was aiming to get out of the door.' He grumbled and shivered.

'I put the heating off last night to save some energy so we can try to send them back and now I'm freezing for it. Somehow I don't see how that's fair.' She stopped outside her room and peeked inside. Jack was still asleep so she grabbed her coat from the back of the door and handed it to the Doctor. He acknowledged the gesture but couldn't quite manage a smile. 'I hope he cleans the water off the floor.' He moaned. Winter smiled.

'I'm sure I can convince Fawks to do it.' He rolled his eyes and dug his hands into her pockets.

'What's this?' instantly Winter cursed her own stupidity, she'd left the sonic, the paper and the TARDIS key in her pockets. The paper and key she'd easily explain away but the sonic. He pulled the device out of her pocket and frowned. 'Winter wh…why do you have my screwdriver.'

'Fun!' he frowned at her outburst and she mentally kicked herself for screaming the first word that came into her mind.

'What?'

'I ah… I was bored, couldn't sleep so the TARDIS helped me build it. Took ages but I think I may have it down to an art.' He raised an eyebrow. 'Oh ok fine, be like that.' He sighed and pulled her into his room.

'I'm not leaving you alone until you tell me the truth.' He told her. She only just heard him, too busy taking in the sight of his room. It was unusually tidy but she guessed he wouldn't spend too much time in it so it wouldn't have a lot of time to get messy. The bed was old, mahogany and a four poster, the walls were a dark blue, warm and welcoming as the dark leather furniture and the deep green curtains. It was classic, old and yet, homely. Next to the bed was a pile of books and on top of them a photo frame with a picture taken when he was still in his last regeneration. He must have taken it from the TARDIS memory banks because she couldn't remember him having a camera but it was from before everything with the children, back when she was still getting used to being connected with the TARDIS. A longer frame allowed for every companion to fit into the picture, Jack, herself, Donna, Martha, Mickey, Rose, Jackie, the other Doctor, Sarah Jane all gathered around the TARDIS console flying the earth back home. She smiled and picked it up, sitting down on the bed and looking at the happy faces of her friends.

A pressure at her side startled her. The Doctor, half way through changing, had realised what she was looking at and sat down next to her dressed only in a clean pair of trousers, his braces hanging at his sides.

'Do you miss them?' She asked quietly. He sighed and nodded. 'It must be difficult,' she continued, 'regeneration I mean, changing so much that you hardly know anything about yourself and while you're getting used to it you still have to worry about the fact that your own friends won't recognise you.' He was silent, his eyes never leaving the photo frame in her hands. 'I would.' He looked up at her in confusion and then his eyes turned sad.

'Now now, don't go making…'

'I would, I know I would.' He took a quick breath of air and bit his lip, his eyes darting over her face and then, almost reluctantly, his whispered a word to her.

'Promise?' She nodded stoutly.

'Promise.' He smiled and pulled her into a hug.

'Now!' he cried out, jumping up and hunting for a shirt. 'You're not off the hook just yet.' She rolled her eyes and sighed.

'Look I hate to sound like good old Dr Song here but…'

'Let me guess, 'spoilers." Winter shrugged.

'All I can tell you is that you gave it to me, kind of.'

'Kind of?' she moaned and collapsed backwards onto the bed.

'I've already told you too much, I can't say any more.'

'Who says?'

'You do.' He rolled his eyes and collapsed in a new shirt, with his braces over his shoulders, onto the bed next to her.

'I hate it when I do that.' She smiled.

'Does it happen a lot?'

'Surprisingly often.' He replied pulling the sonic from one pocket and his own screwdriver from the other, carefully he touched them together and a spark of light lit up the room. 'Same screwdriver different periods in its timeline.' He handed hers over and sat up, pulling her off the bed. 'Come on then, let's get back to them.'

'Yeah, before they start coming to their own conclusions as to why we're in your room.' The Doctor's eyes widened and she laughed as he pulled her out of the room.

'That won't do much good Doc,' Fawks smiled smugly, 'you've changed your clothes, it already looks suspicious.' They both looked up to see their companions, led by the demon, coming towards them. Winter rolled her eyes and examined both versions of Jack for a wedding ring. When she found the right hand she skipped forward and placed a kiss on his lips.

'Morning Darling.' He tried to frown at her but the effort was too great and he burst into laughter letting the Doctor relax. 'Come on,' she chuckled, 'let's go somewhere before things get even more confusing.' The Doctor nodded quickly and sprang off down the corridor to his left.

Review? :D
