пренебречь, вальсируем
Nancy Brown написала еще один фик во вселенной Rabbit Hole AU. Если вы еще не читали Rabbit Hole AU, я не знаю, чего вы ждете. Про то, как Джек, Янто, Лиза, их дети и друзья спасают Землю - в очередной раз.
Этот фик разбивает мне сердце. Он сюжетный, и сложный, и многослойный. Во вселенной, где один звонок изменил прошлое, уходит шестнадцать лет на то, чтобы изменить будущее - и оно все равно меняется мало. Он полон той горько-сладкой меланхолии, которую чувствуешь, когда смотришь Doctor Who по третьему разу. И при всем при том - он флаффный. Насколько может существовать флафф в этом мире.
Разумеется, обязательно к прочтению.

И цитата:
A nightmare, repeated on far too many dark evenings: He's back in Cardiff, the Plass is a wreck, and every day is like walking over glass as they rebuild. There's a small grave in London, and an empty one in Newport, and Alice swears she will kill him over and over if he ever speaks to her again. Gwen's child grows up, but Jack is the only one who remembers trying to tame Isabelle's hair into a ponytail for school. He visits the ice cream shop where Callie would beg for praline crunch, but the shop owner has never seen her dark eyes light up at the sight of a cone. Jack works, and he fights, and sometimes he hears Lisa's soft laugh just out of sight, sees a little boy who looks exactly like Kyle being swept up into Ianto's arms for a hug but when he turns, they're gone. They're all gone. And Gwen is there with her perfect life and perfect family that he gave everything to protect for her, and she asks him why he's weeping.
