Character Sketches: a series of drabbles
Just what it says on the tin: mini-character sketches for characters from assorted fandoms.
Spoilers for S1 Torchwood, especially "Cyberwoman," and the end of S2 Doctor Who, through "Doomsday."
Torchwood and Doctor Who belong to Russell T. Davies, the BBC, and other people and corporations who aren't me – not in this timeline or any other, as far as I'm aware.
For Phoenix – Happy Birthday!

Ianto Jones (Doctor Who/Torchwood)
The Cybermen attacked Torchwood London at a very unfortunate time in the life of Ianto Jones.
He'd seen the impossible and thought it made everything possible. Not much earlier, he wouldn't have considered trying to save Lisa; not much later, he would have known better.
But it happened when it did, so he'd scavenged the wreckage of the Archives for every mention of Torchwood Two and Three; he'd even considered looking for Four.
He chose Cardiff because it was the branch most removed from One. That it was closest to home was an added benefit. That it would be his salvation was unexpected.
