Summary
Behind him, Jack hears a light footfall and the swish of petticoats. —Damn, he still doesn’t even know her name.
He doesn’t give her the satisfaction of seeing pain from him. Instead, he meets her gaze head-on, cool and distant and every inch the soldier.
She laughs at him. It’s a high-pitched giggle, like the joke is genuinely hilarious, and he’s simply missing out. It’s disconcerting: if there really is humour here, he is certainly on the outside of it.
—
Or: Jack gets captured in wartime by Missy. Then the Doctor shows up and it really all goes to hell.

Summary
It wasn't a quiet morning when Nick’s life changed. It wasn’t sunny, nor was there anything particularly remarkable about it other than that a storm was building. Building and brewing, forming like the offcuts of a carpenter, stacking higher and higher until it blew everywhere.
The storm released, and his life only changed in the aftermath.
There was a creature on his porch, and it made a noise, a noise that awfully sounded like ‘Hello.’
If one had four paws and a desire to be loved
Or Nick, much to his initial displeasure, because we all know he’d never resist for long, falls headfirst in love with his little storm kitty. And she, like the storm she was named after, wreaks havoc on his life.

Summary
based off a prompt by @bookwerm:
Jack Harkness having a talk with the doctor about dealing with grief. Could be eleven, twelve, or thirteen.
...
A tension sprung in both her hearts as she looked around the room. A group gathered wearing black across the balcony where she had promised a happy ever after she could never keep. A group that held one familiar face as it turned to meet her eyes.
In a split second, she felt hands grasping at her collar lifting her up and pinning her against the wall.
"Where the hell were you?!"
