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: This is the first of four drabbles I've written for this week's prompt. I wanted to write something canon compliant as the other three are all humourous (or at least hope people will find them funny.) So, here's the serious one first, I'll post the others Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Thanks to all the lovely people who have reviewed, I love hearing from you. I hope you'll enjoy this week's selection.

It had been a rough few days, Jack thought. Dragged back to 1941 with Tosh, he'd thought they might be trapped there but they'd made it back, only for time to start splintering

Rhys died, the team mutinied, Owen killed him and he'd revived as the Hub began to crumble, courtesy of the now dangerously unstable Rift.

Then he'd sacrificed himself to defeat Abaddon, returning to life days later, his team guilt-ridden over their betrayal.

He needed a vacation.

As if on cue, he heard the sound he'd waited over a century to hear.

Somewhere above, the TARDIS was materialising.

The End

A/N2: So, I have three more to post - two Ianto, one Nosy. Any preference for what I post tomorrow?
