Stalkerish Sounding Sweet Nothings
Oh, That Sort of Made Sense
Welcome to the Inner Sanctum, Try Not to Get Killed

One of the difficulties about writing mini!Jack if you want to write him into a relationship, speaking from my own experience, is that pairing him with most girls "his" age feels somewhat statutory, and most older women (or men) either wouldn't be attracted to him, or if they are their taste is questionable. ;-) Jinx solved that problem by bringing in a character with a background strikingly similar in some ways to mini!Jack's--Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Dawn Summers. (For those who don't know Buffy, Dawn was a mystical "key" between dimensions who was magically transformed into a teenage girl and given memories of being Buffy's sister.) The two characters bounce off each other beautifully, and because Dawn is neither too old nor too young for mini!Jack...it makes them a great couple. :-) And mini!Jack's reaction to the Buffyverse gang and what they deal with is priceless too. :-)

This fic up anywhere else? Fragile_balance is gone as is the original website.

Sadly, if it is, I haven't found it. :-( If I do, though, I'll try to remember to post an updated link.
