AN: For primeval100 prompt 'All the trimmings'. This is written for my fab flatty who came home with the idea the other day and it just fitted with this prompt.

“Can we switch him on yet?” Abby asked.

“No. All the trimmings, remember?” Ryan replied, brandishing a length of red tinsel.

“Oh, come on,” Connor whined.

“Connor, if anything ever teaches you not to make a bet against me again, let it be this,” Stephen countered.

“Okay, ready,” Ryan declared.

Abby hit a switch near the floor and multicoloured lights flashed on.

Connor closed his eyes and bore the laughter of his co-workers as the lights wrapped around his body blinked on and off, baubles hung from every button and pocket and tinsel tickled his nose.

“The human Christmas tree!”

AN: Okay, I know it’s barely 1st December, but this is my first gift fic of the year; written for my wonderful emyrldlady, without whom my life would be a lot more shit. You’re a true friend and foxy as hell to go with it *g*. The prompt was “Con man Jack. Pre meeting the Doctor and Rose, but after leaving the Time Agency.” which I adored as I also believe that Jack was at his bravest before he was immortal. Hope this is okay for you sweetie.

AN: My Christmas pressie for themortalpoet who wanted a Jack Ten fic. Sadly my Ten muse is being annoyingly quiet. I'm going to kick it and do better in the new year. Happy Christmas.

Jack finished his rant with a flourish and a final wave of his whiskey bottle. 

The Doctor regarded him with a slightly out of focus expression, his hand wrapped around the remains of yet another banana daiquiri. 

“D’ja feel better now? Said everything you want to say?” 

Jack paused, narrowing his eyes and trying to concentrate. 

“Yes.” he decided with a nod. 

“Brilliant. Shall we head back to the Tardis now?” the Doctor suddenly sounded much brighter. 

Jack stared at him. Something didn’t seem right and Jack’s brain was scrabbling around trying to figure out what it was. 

“You’re not really drunk are you?” 

“No.” 

“And you’re going to remember all of this tomorrow aren’t you?” 

“Yes.” 

“Bastard.” 

“Oh yes!”

The universe seemed intent to ravage them, savage them, systematically destroy everything they loved; everything they cared for and fought for.

The rift churned out unspeakable evil.

It spat back the taken and the broken.

The darkness waited for them and they knew they would join it soon enough.

But right now, the three stood in the Plass and watched the snow fall in the moonlight of the early hours.

The already fallen blanket muffled the sounds of the world, hid the grime of the streets and filled their lives with enough hope to come back and fight again tomorrow.

Spoilers: Sort of for Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Ianto watched Jack move around the Hub as if he’d never been away. It seemed filled again now; like a puzzle piece had slotted back in and filled a hole.

Except there was something not quite right with the puzzle piece. It fit okay, but didn’t quite complete the overall picture. It was damaged; frayed around the edges, colours faded and mute. The glossy finish a little tarnished, not quite so bright; not obviously, just a hint to the trained eye when you tilted it against the light.

Ianto wondered what it would take to make the picture whole again.
