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.

504. Coming Unfluffed

Title: Coming Unfluffed

Author: badly-knitted

Characters: Jack, Ianto, Nosy

Rating: G

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: Nosy is exhibiting a strange symptom, causing Jack to panic.

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

A/N: This one's for milady_dragon. Thought you could do with a little boost!

I really should have posted this one before 'Personal Grooming' (Ch. 465), which is kind of the sequel.

Prompt is at the end.

"Ianto!" Jack ran from his office, eyes wide with panic.

"Jack? What's wrong?"

"Nosy's going bald!"

"What?"

"It's not my fault, I was just stroking it and all its fluff started falling out!" Jack sounded frantic, holding up a handful of green hairs. "Look!"

Ianto tried very hard not to laugh, but failed.

"Jack, it's okay. Nosy's just shedding its winter coat, it won't go bald."

"Oh. Are you sure?"

"Quite sure," Ianto replied ruefully, watching Nosy slither past leaving a trail of green fluff in its wake.

"I really should teach Nosy to use the vacuum cleaner," he sighed.

A/N: Prompt was 'Nosy starts shedding'.
