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.

Automatic doors had been around as long as Ianto could remember; he was so used to them that he took them for granted, so Diane's reaction to the supermarket doors opening in front of her took him a bit by surprise. He should have expected it; they didn't have such things back in the fifties.

Still, when asked how they worked, he had the answer ready. After all, he did have a reputation for knowing everything, and it was nice to be able to impress someone.

Sadly his explanation turned out to be less interesting than the bananas on sale…
