Oh, that makes sense, now. When I thought the end of the last chapter was a cliffhanger, I thought they had stepped out onto, like, his planet or something? (Which maybe they have?) But I was expecting shocking! reveal! of location! rather than trees, which also works but explains why my confusion surprised you? Rambling on.
It was mostly just the ‘the spaceship is a tree wtf?’ which isn’t *much* of a cliffhanger, which is why I was somewhat confused. And with the cliffhanger in this chapter, I’m sure you can see why… And no, different universe, no Seeker planet.

I want to draw hearts around their relationship. It works so well? And it's like a teenage romance, which is kind of sweet and I love how it's not the Seeker who's tentative, it's Jack. Specifically, that it's con artist, fuck anything with a postcode Jack who is being more careful as opposed to the Seeker.
Well, the Seeker *knows* Jack, so he is absolutely aware of what he’s getting in to, as it were. Jack is (especially at this point) generally up for a good time, and somewhat freewheeling, making it up as he goes along - and a cool spaceship and fun adventures with an enigmatic, living legend to spend his days (and nights!) with is a pretty good deal, so he’s going along with it. I found ‘tentative’ quite an interesting word though, but probably quite accurate. I don’t think Jack at this point would give his heart away to anyone.

HA.
Seeker is sassy.

Ah, so this is a universe where Gallifrey is still around? We knew the last universe was TenToo's from 'canon', and the one with Missy is (will? Have you posted it yet, I can't recall...) is 'canon', so is this another universe all together? If so, what are the Rules? It makes for an interesting wildcard in plotting out how their relationship will go.
My head canon (not stated, but inferred) is that Gallifrey is gone, what with the Time War and all. Jack basically thinks the Time Lords are all dead (which I think is fairly clear?) – whether or not there is a Doctor knocking about somewhere is a different subject. Like I said elsewhere, the Seeker steps into Jack’s time line before Jack may or may not meet the Doctor.

The sudden beginning of the relationship is just... *swoons*
You mean the Seeker appearing all… unbuttoned? Aye, I was very pleased with that…

I like seeing how this Seeker goes about a relationship because it's not Roda's Seeker, which I'm far more used to in... this regard. It's good to see this Seeker as something that isn't warmongering as well (that's a blunt way to put it, but I mean, 1. he's a blunt regeneration and 2. what I mean is that we've mostly seen him in A Good Day so this makes for a definite change).
I’d say not as blunt as 2nd Seeker, and more secretive. But yes, his big shining moment so far is the War in the Medusa Cascade, so it’s good to get a look at him when he’s not massively controlling and focussed on Killing All The Daleks and being massively defensive about everything.
