Hi there,
Here's a new fanfic, involving Jack and Vera which is going to evolve in quite a surprising way soon. It'll involve plenty of other favourite characters too, but I am starting of with the main ones. The first part is posted here exclusively.

Part 1
"Jack Duckworth!" screamed a familar voice through a door.
"What now woman?" shouted back the man who shuddered at those two words, screamed by his wife of over forty five years. Jack put down the reciever on the phone and pretended to be cleaning the phone.
"What have I told you about ringing up those competition lines?"
"I... Vera..."
"Don't try 'Vera' with me Jack Duckworth. Our phone bill is well over a hundred pound this month. How are we going to pay that eh? Frankie's hardly going to be giving me a pay rise or anything, and we can't ask any more from Tyrone."
"Don't worry Vera love. I'll sort it."
"You better had Jack, or else I won't be responsibe for my flamin' actions."
Vera sighed before turning and walking into the kitchen.
"What's this Jack?" She asked, noticing a white envelope lying on the table, with her name written clearly on it. It looked rather official.
"I don't know it came for you earlier on." Jack said, taking a seat on the sofa and picking up the newspaper as Vera looked at her envelope. "Well go on then, open it."
"Alright." Vera said. She quickly opened the envelope, and pulled out the letter. Jack glanced down at his newspaper, pretending not to be interested.
Vera read down through the letter.
Dear Mrs. Duckworth,
I am writing to inform you that your entry into our recent "Break for Two" competition was first out of the hat on Monday last. This means that you have won a weekend break for two people in a small Yorkshire village. Your weekend away also comes with £250 spending money, which was kindly provided by local supermarket Frescoes. Your break will be at the end of this month. For more information call the number at the bottom of the page.
Congratulations, and I sincerely hope you enjoy your holiday.

"Jack..."
"What is it?"
"We've won, we've won."
"What?"
"A break for two in Yorkshire. Oh, I love you sometimes Jack, I really do."
"Why? What did I do?"
"You entered didn't you?" Vera asked, slightly surprised.
"No, I never."
"Well then..."
The front door opened again, and Tyrone walked in. "Only me."
