This ended up as a great day.

Owen started great.
This is what they need.

Owen needed a slap on the head, he got it.
Hopefully it will stick.

Owen always knew this was happening, but was so was so wrapped up into himself to care.

Teen Owen was being a teen, his mom could not handle.
All she taught Owen was not to trust.

Next...

Okay Owen Scrooge, here it goes.

Very nicely worked. :)

Owen got what he wanted. alone.

This is one of the best versions of A Christmas Carol (Torchwood-style) that I've ever read! Thank you so much!

I love happy endings! Owen played Santa, and gets a good Christmas dinner as a reward.. Happy Christmas!

Yay! They can have a proper life now. One less family struggling to survive in one of the world's wealthiest countries. If only all such people could be helped like this.

Does Jack remember somewhere inside that it was him guiding Owen through his change in attitude?

The future succeeded where past and present didn't! Hopefully this is the beginning of a new leaf for Owen.

Now I want Owen to safe that woman and her little boy (

But like Jack said, she's just one of thousands of disadvantaged people in this country, only slightly better off than many because she has a roof over her head.

I wish I could shake some sense into Owen, he's determined to be a miserable bastard.

Huh, looks like Owen was the son of a very wealthy family! An ungtrateful son at that, I can't really blame his mother for finally giving up on him. On the other hand, things might have been very different if her fear of losing someome else she loved hadn't drivern her to push her son away. Very sad.

Hah! I love that Suzie is still noticeably dead, she didn't appear as she'd been before she killed herself. It's nicely ghoulish!

Owen seemed to be having a bit of trouble convincing himself that he really was happy to be all on his own.
