Loving the Alien
Jack stood on a rooftop, surveying his city. Cardiff. Rift City. He'd come here because of the Rift; stayed here because of the Rift. Invisible, intangible, it shaped his life.
The Doctor had visited because of the Rift, too. From this vantage point, Jack could see the restaurant where they lunched. The roof of City Hall, where they'd confronted Mayor Blaine. The paths they'd walked. From that spot there - the fountain, the invisible lift - the TARDIS left for the stars.
Cardiff was a gate to infinities. Here, he could never forget the alien he loved, and he never wanted to.
