Gah! *scurries around, hiding shit better* Riddick, in a way, has always been the voice in Jack's head, from moment one, when they first met before boarding the HG. It's like looking in a mirror, where they each see themselves in the other. He'd never leave her by choice. Riddick's always 'going' but he never goes, you know? He may not understand fully why he stays, but he stays. Jack is coming into her own in this story (hence the name), and yes, it's a preparation of sorts. Riddick makes a good dad, teaching her what dark stuff he has to offer. It's funny, I've always seen Riddick as completely human. He's that part of every one of us, deep down; the part that will survive at all costs, that will kill to live, if not live to kill when pushed. The animal part IS us, the rest is a veneer of civilization over the top, but underneath we;re all teeth, we're all Riddick. I think that's part of the reason this movie hit a cult status, because there's something there we can all relate to. The body of course is mortal, but the rest? If what we pass on lives, doesn't that make us immortal? Jack may not be his child, but she is HIS, so what he is doesn't die off. Jack and Jacob: yep, I wanted to make them paired off but for it to be companionship, instead of the other marriages on Trieste 9. I can almost see them marrying with an eye roll; getting the tradition over with to put off all the bothersome questions, so that they could get back to what they have. This story focuses on Jack but beyond that, it focuses on her as a woman, and a different one at that. T9 will never be the same :D Ah, nits! Thanks, I love when people find those! Off to fix...Wow, that was weird, damn it, must have done something weird when I was formatting :) Riddick is complicated. I think seduction is so hard wired into him that it would be odd if he wasn't that way. If he had taken a more 'normal' parental role, I'd probably be rightly creeped out too. He's one big grey area :D Thanks, hugely! *beams at the feedy* Elaine:) holy shit, C, I swear you’re looking at my notes! Gah! *scurries around, hiding shit better*

Riddick, in a way, has always been the voice in Jack’s head, from moment one, when they first met before boarding the HG. It’s like looking in a mirror, where they each see themselves in the other. He’d never leave her by choice. Riddick’s always ‘going’ but he never goes, you know? He may not understand fully why he stays, but he stays.

Jack is coming into her own in this story (hence the name), and yes, it’s a preparation of sorts. Riddick makes a good dad, teaching her what dark stuff he has to offer.

I'm not sure how you see it, or how you're intending for me, the reader, to see it, but I see Riddick as the voice in Jack's head. You're making Riddick look so very mortal. You're making me imagine, expect, plan for a time when Riddick won't be at her back, or across the way, or anywhere at all. He won't have left by choice or ever be coming back. Goofy thought: He'll BE the ley line. hee hee. Riddick, the holy higher power. But Jack acts now as if he's already gone, in a way. So that when he is gone she'll do the same. And Riddick is pushing her, encouraging her towards that. Damn, it's just so sad in a way. Jack coming of age, coming into her own self/power is awesome, but without Riddick? ::sniff:: Human, I like. Mortal? No. Riddick is beyond time and age. But of course I love the story. I like the relationship between Jack and Jacob. They're familiar with each other, comfy, but secure in themselves. Prolly be hard to be the partner of Riddick's protige. A few mistakes a picked up. Gasp! I never find mistakes in your work. You're like the grammar queen. Maybe it's my computer, it's falsely displaying things! In the 2nd paragraph, there's a portion posted twice. ‘Great, Jack, you’re giving yourself the willies,’ she thoughts. **I think that's an extra 's' on the end there. A small titl of the head was all that they got from Riddick as he looked out into the unforgiving terrain. **tilt Awesome! Awesome to be back on Trieste. How can Riddick seem fatherly and seductive at the same time? It should seem creepy, but it don't and THAT is kinda creepy!! :D Chris Ah, Jack, you just have to love her.
