So Jack appears in Torchwood after "The Last of the Time Lords," ready for action. The shooty kind too. But for some reason he's being evasive about where he was, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, but whatever.

I'd imagine that in the year he spent with the Master and the Doctor, on the non-torture days there were games of Scrabble, long discussions about Rose, and hitting on the Doctor. (What? You think that old!Doctor would actually dissuade Jack? HA! He'd so hit that. Jack would briefly consider hitting on the Master, but ultimately he'd take a pass.) Under Doctor Who Fandom Rule Number One, I declare this to be canon.

Oh, and under Doctor Who Fandom Rule Number Three, I'm declaring Jack's unfortunate future plastic surgery job to be of questionable canon.

ANYWAY, the thing at the end with "Grey" - so does Jack have a child? Or maybe a sibling? Of course he immediately shuts down about it.

You know Jack, you really shouldn't be following the Doctor's lead on this. Yeah, it's good that you're trying to connect with the people who you've suddenly declared to be your purpose in life, but if you actually shut them out of your life and who you are, that connection ain't gonna happen. Not that I think the Doctor was shutting Rose out, but he definitely shut Martha and Mr. Copper out. He's desperately lonely and part of that is of his own making. Wise up, Jack!

I personally think that Jack knows more about The Doctor than The Doctor thinks, being clever and sneaky and, you know, ex-Time Agent. And thus in my personal canon, Jack's little story about his nickname was a deliberate mindf**k aimed at The Doctor as small payback for all the shit The Doctor has put Jack through.

You know, I like to think that at least part of it is still him protecting the Doctor's secrets. However, I do think that he could find a way to do that while telling them the majority of what they should know.

*snort* Too true. He'd probably decide the Master was just too crazy for him, Captain John aside. (Where's the DW fandom rulebook, again?)

Yeah. Pfft. Even Rusty was unsure about that one. Like

professor and others have said, Jack was just being evil and having them on.

ANYWAY, the thing at the end with "Grey" - so does Jack have a child? Or maybe a sibling? Of course he immediately shuts down about it.

My immediate reaction is that Grey is another Time Agent that Jack royally screwed over.

THAT FIC NOW GIVE TO ME.

I immediately assumed that Grey was his father. I haven't seen this thought ANYWHERE else. So either I''m totally amazing, or I'm really really not.
