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.

37. Second Chance

Title: Second Chance

Author: badly-knitted

Characters: Jack, Ianto

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 267 – Starting Over at tw100

Spoilers: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Doctor Who The Sound of Drums and Last of the Time Lords.

Summary: Jack apologises to Ianto.

Disclaimer: I don't own Torchwood, or the characters.

A/N: This is the other side of my earlier drabble 'Another Chance' . It's entirely tardisjournal's fault for saying Jack probably didn't have to grovel much to get Ianto to give him another chance.

"I'm sorry. I know I hurt you by leaving that way, but I never meant to be gone for so long. I thought I'd be back in a few hours, a day at most."

"Why weren't you?"

"Everything went wrong, we were captured by a madman; it's been a year for me, a year of being held prisoner and tortured. All I could think about was you and what a mess I'd made of everything. I wanted so badly to get home to you. If you'll let me, I swear I'll make it up to you."

"Promise?"

"Yes. Anything."

"Okay."

The End

A/N2: I couldn't help myself - people really shouldn't put ideas into my head, lol!
