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.

2. Season Of Mists

Title: Season Of Mists

Author: badly-knitted

Characters/Pairing: Ianto, Jack

Rating: PG

Written For: Challenge 252 – Harvest at tw100

Summary: The weather causes an unexpected problem.

A/N: My second drabble for this collection. Thanks to everyone who read, reviewed or favourited the first one. Special thanks to janie17 for her instructions on how to load new chapters. Anyone who knows me knows I'm a computer dunce, so I will forever be grateful for her assistance!

Autumn. Harvest time. Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness.

"They got the mist part right," Ianto muttered, stumbling over another rut.

Here they were, at night, out in the middle of nowhere, retrieving alien tech from a field - already harvested, thank God. Suddenly down comes the mist and they can't see past the ends of their noses. Bloody freezing, too. Finding the tech had proved easy. The SUV, on the other hand…

It had to be around here somewhere.

A loud thud and a muffled curse came from Jack.

"Found it! Ow. Think I broke by doze."

Ianto winced.

The End

A/N2: Hopefully there will be another drabble next week, but in the meantime, keep your eyes open for a longer sequel to this one, which will hopefully be posted in a few days. I just couldn't leave Jack suffering...
