Summary: Jack reminisces
Beta: [personal profile] unfeathered


He used to be a con man.  A rogue.  Fully embracing the mottoes ‘consequences be damned’ and ‘full speed ahead!’  No ties.  No responsibilities.  A lover in every port.

Always on the move, looking for another world, another time, another person to swindle.   Adventure and romance beckoned him from every turn.  It was a bit lonely and definitely dangerous.  But he’d never felt more alive.

And, best of all, there was no paperwork.  Jack sighed, picking a form off the pile on his desk.  A requisition form for more requisition forms?  Utter madness.  Now, why did he settle down again?

Squeee! I love this! The punchline is so unexpected, and I love the change of tone as we shunt forward to present-day Jack.

Poor Jack. *g*
