Jack's Treasures

Title: Jack's Treasures
Pairing/Rating/Warning: none, rated G
Word Count: 100
Summary: Trinkets or treasures, they are what Jack holds dear

The old cigar box sits open on the desk, displaying its treasures for the world.  Inside there’s a key, kept shiny and bright despite its obvious age.  A photo of two young lovers, frozen forever in each other’s gaze. A single cufflink, dull and scratched.  Several newspaper articles, brittle and faded.  And a small ashtray, made out of clay by tiny hands,  fingerprints still noticeable on the sides.

Ianto has seen the box, and its contents, many times; whether Jack leaves it out by accident or design he doesn’t know.  But he knows he’ll never have the courage to ask.

I love this one too. Very poignant. TARDIS key, of course, but the other stuff too. Love the fingerprints in the clay.

Jack has such a long past. There must be so much he's thrown away, so what he's kept is doubly important.

There's so much to wonder about when it comes to Jack, right? *sigh*

Glad you liked it!
