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.

After a long day, Jack needed to get some rest. He'd squeezed down the manhole to his bunker, but then hit a snag.

"I hate spiders in my bed. Now I am the spider in my bed," he sighed, shuffling around, searching for a comfortable position. After a few minutes, he stopped, belly on the mattress, legs awkwardly folded around him. "It's hopeless, my legs keep sliding off the edge. How am I supposed to relax?"

Taking pity, Ianto fetched a pile of duvets and made a spider-nest. Jack settled himself, legs sticking out in all directions.

"Better?"

"Yes. Thanks."

A/N: If you've seen the Garfield cartoons where Garfield flattens a spider, that's pretty much how Jack looks stretched out on the duvet, just a bit more three-dimensional…
