Airs, Waters, Places (1/4)

This is a test. I've never tried to post a long story on livejournal. I think that I can make this work, but please bear with me.

Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: JJ, Bad Robot, ABC. I do not own their toys, and no one pays me to play with them.
Summary: No one was saying "no" to Jack that night. Someone probably should have.
Many, many thanks to Rez, for beta-reading, poking with a pointy stick, and reassuring me when Jack got too scary.


...Airs, waters, places, round our sex and reasons,

Are what we feed on as we make our choice.
We bring them back with promises to free them,
But as ourselves continually betray them:

They hear their deaths lamented in our voice...
(W. H. Auden, In Time of War IX, 1938)
