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.

Feeling utterly frazzled, Ianto just wanted to collapse onto the sofa. Having to put the twins to bed without help was enough to drain even an immortal of energy. Now the tiny terrors were mobile, they were getting into everything, and even with the help of Nosy and the two Flufflets, keeping them out of trouble was a fulltime job.

Usually, whichever parent was working that day would try to be home at bedtime, even if he had to go back to the Hub for a while afterwards, but not today. Jack had called to say he was tied up dealing with a crashed spaceship out in the Beacons and wasn't going to make it back, so Ianto had been left to deal with everything alone. To make matters worse, he hadn't even had the benefit of Nosy's assistance. Torchwood's top Fluff had gone to work with Jack that morning.

Squiggle and Spot had done their best, but they didn't have Nosy's stamina. When Ianto picked them up, the poor Flufflets just hung from his hands, limp with exhaustion. There was only one thing for it.

"Come on you two, I'll make us all some coffee; maybe that'll revive us."
