The Children of Earth Drabbles

Exactly what it says on the tin. A series of drabbles written over the course of the five days COE was shown. Canon compliant. Not a fix-it. Canon pairings and of course, heavy COE spoilers. Mainly Janto but others mentioned.

Day One/ Day Two: Alice's thoughts after hearing about the hub explosion

'Where are you, Dad?'

Why isn't he answering his phone? Something's happened to him.

He never ignores my calls. He's always been there for me when I've needed him. He promised he always would be.

Fucking answer phone.

'Dad, I'm scared. Please ring me.'

I didn't mean what I said. You were a good father. You never left me. I need you now.

I ring that other number; his friend. I won't call him my step father. He's eight years younger than I am.

No answer.

'Ianto, please call me. I'm worried about Dad.'

I need you. Please be ok.
