Unfamiliar Times (Torchwood)

UNFAMILIAR TIMES

Summary: The Time Agency was baffling. But not for the reasons you would expect.

Fandom: Torchwood (and a bit of Doctor Who)

Characters: Jack Harkness & OMC, Jack Harkness/many OCs, Jack Harkness/John Hart, implied Jack Harkness/real life historical figures, Jack Harkness & the Doctor, Jack Harkness & the Torchwood Three team

Words: ~2,500

Rating: PG-13

Notes: So, for a while now I’ve had this little idea at the back of my mind that maybe Jack Harkness was not always the fearless, flirtatious omnisexual we know and love… The glimpse we got of life on Jack’s home world in “Adam” actually seemed quite traditional – a simple, homespun sort of life with a nuclear family of mother-and-father-and-kids as the main unit. …What if it wasn’t until he joined the Time Agency that Jack learned just what a flexible place the 51st century could be?

Slight spoilers for, oh, gosh, everything I guess!

Thank you to stereolightning for beta-reading this story…even though this isn’t her fandom. She’s a star!

As always – though I so often forget to say it – this story is also on AO3.
