The Torchwood Drabble Files

by badly-knitted

A collection of Torchwood drabbles that continues to grow. Thanks to everyone who's making this possible. You're greatly appreciated, so I'm reinstating an old game - the writer of every 100th review gets to request a drabble/ficlet of their choice. Still using a T rating to cover anything I might write, just to be safe.

503. Love Vs Lust

Title: Love Vs Lust

Author: badly-knitted

Characters: Gwen, mentions Rhys and Jack

Rating: G

Spoilers: Nothing specific.

Summary: A look inside Gwen's head as she compares Rhys with Jack.

Disclaimer: I don't own Torchwood, or the characters.

A/N: For the prompt 'Everything I Shouldn't Be Thinking About', one of the prompts I didn't get around to using for tw100's challenge 292: Billboard Hot 100 last year. I've dug them out again to supplement the prompts I got from my f-list, just because there are still loads I wanted to use.

Guest: Thank you!

Guest: Re Ch. 2 - Thank you! Yes, that's why I had Ianto stumbling. They probably both tripped a lot, but there's a limit to what can be fitted into 100 words. It's a miracle a broken nose was the only damage. I had to write a ficlet in order to fix Jack's nose though: 'Poor Jack'

Gwen loved Rhys, she really did. He was kind, caring, supportive, funny and a great cook. He put up with her long working hours and strange moods, and she knew he would do anything for her because he loved her.

But he wasn't Jack.

Jack was gorgeous, sexy, confident, charming, larger than life, an immortal hero full of outrageous tales of unlikely exploits. He was exciting and dangerous where Rhys was comfortable, ordinary, maybe even a little dull.

She loved Rhys, but she lusted after Jack; he was everything.

Everything she shouldn't be thinking about.

She just couldn't help herself.
