Why this must be read:
Russell T. Davies begat Queer as Folk UK, which begat Queer as Folk US, which begat Brian Kinney.
Russell T. Davies begat New Who, which begat Jack Harkness.
Yet only in fanfic will the two ever meet. Tragic, really, because if two characters ever shared a world view (not to mention an assurance of their own desirability), it's Jack and Brian.
The memory, fond as it was, quickly receded as he got his first look at Brian Kinney. Dressed casually in black jeans and a grey t-shirt, he approached the bar with the confident air of long familiarity.
Photos, Jack decided, didn't do Kinney justice -- lovely cheekbones, beautiful eyes, and a rich, full mouth. He practically radiated charisma and sexual energy. Oh, yes, very definitely the alpha male. Jack consciously pulled himself inward, relying on skills picked up during his long years in the con game, trying to avoid putting out any of that alpha male energy himself.
It didn't take long before Kinney noticed him and caught his eye. Jack gave what he hoped was an unprepossessing smile, then dropped his gaze -- prey, not predator, he reminded himself. Yet he felt Kinney's eyes still on him, and it took Jack some effort not to meet his gaze again.
He was so studiously avoiding eye contact that he didn't notice Kinney approach. "You're hot, and I don't know you, so you must be new here," he said without preface.
