I posted this story a few days ago at wintercompanion  for their "Identity" challenge (here), but I forgot to post a link from this journal.  Now that the challenge is closed, I'm reposting here for archival purposes and to give interested friends who don't read that community a chance to see it.

Title: Hijacked Regeneration (1/1)
Rating: Teen
Characters/Pairings: Eleven/Jack, Twelve (yes, Twelve)/Jack, Jack/surprise other recurring character
Spoilers:  Through "The End of Time"
Warnings: The Jack/surprise pairing may require brain bleach for the more sensitive.  Non-explicit sex and lots of innuendo. Crack. Regeneration in the name of crack.
Summary: When Eleven regenerates in Jack’s arms, Jack finds out the reason the Doctor has avoided him during regenerations. There’s something different about the Twelfth Doctor, or should that be something a little too familiar?
Author’s Notes: Many thanks and virtual cookies to wendymr  for the fantastic, speedy beta service.

Yes, I am killing Eleven before he has even two minutes onscreen. For that and much more, I am so, so sorry. Please assume that Eleven has had a long and mostly happy life. Jack, while he has not exactly lived on the slow path between the 21st century and the 94th, has experienced more than enough time to make the events of CoE no longer at the forefront of his mind.

Sign I devote too much of my brain to fandom #493:

At the contra dance* earlier tonight, one dance had an unusual figure requiring pairs of men to go down the dance together, a move more typical for couples.  My first thought:  hey, look, contra slash!


*Contra is a traditional American form of folk dance, sort of like square dancing but in long lines of couples instead of squares and with a larger amount of awesomeness.  It's great!
