Dude. Awesome. I am a fan of the space opera, and that mixed in with Torchwood, mixed in with timey-wimey Jack? I am very impressed.

And little!Jack was just right - cocky, but had been through enough, even at (lordy) sixteen to be aware of the position he put himself in. Does make me regret that Jack doesn't get much of a childhood, but then again he does spend quite a lot of his time as we know him going through various debaucherous (as it were) situations, so I guess in that he's managed to act immaturely when he's felt like it :)

Reminded me a bit of Ender's Game - not so much the psychological side as the alien-presence-not-really-understood stuff, plus the bringing in young men from all over the galaxy. Very neat.

Not sure where you'd go from here with this one, but it's a fun backstory, it'd be neat to see young!Jack's adventures.

And perhaps oddly enough this is the first time I've read a Torchwood fic and it's felt like the Sci Fi Space Opera type stuff you get, it was a really nice change.

Yeah, poor damaged Lo has a road to travel before he can be Jack Harkness, definitely. Although also, at this point he's only a few weeks out from having been tortured, so there's that. I think John will probably take him a good long way towards being himself -- I kind of picture him learning to have fun at Quantico Station but not really learning to enjoy himself until the Time Agency.

There are probably a lot of Ender's Game echoes -- I didn't like the rest of the series but I loved that book :D
