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.

A/N: My first drabble of 2013! My resolution this year is to write at least one drabble a week, so wish me luck!

Happy New Year everybody! Hope 2013 got off to a good start for all of you and that the year ahead will be filled with health, happiness, love and laughter!

Thank you to all my reviewers on my last drabble, I hope you'll continue to read and review over the coming year.

It was over. Lisa was gone.

He'd known for a long time, just couldn't admit it, not even to himself. No choice now; his hopes and dreams were splintered beyond repair, his future unknown.

He looked at Jack.

"What do I do now?"

"That's up to you. You have a month to think things over. After that, you'll have a choice – retcon or Torchwood. A new life, or a fresh start with us."

As Jack left the flat, Ianto sat on his couch and wondered if he had the courage to start over with people who no longer trusted him.

The End

A/N2: Sorry for the gloomy nature of this first drabble - I'm hoping to write at least one more for this prompt, so I'll try to make the next one more cheerful!
