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.

90. Mending Stuart's Leg

Title: Mending Stuart's Leg

Author: badly-knitted

Characters: Jack, Ianto

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 288 – Reverse fandom – Last of the Summer Wine at tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: Jack can't keep his hands to himself; Ianto deals with the consequences.

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

A/N: Episode title = drabble title. It's just easier that way.

My first drabble for this week's prompt, and my first Reverse Fandom challenge. Ithas potential - a good thing as it's running for 4 weeks! I have a bunch of good episode titles to choose from, and several vague ideas of what I might do with them... This one was just irresistible!

Thanks to everyone who reviewed the last one. I love Janto: Ianto is very good at making people NOT see him, but Jack has been wearing his own disguise for a long time and can see right through Ianto's to the brave and selfless man within. That's why Ianto is Jack's hero.

Hope everyone will enjoy the lighter side of things this time!

"It's not my fault!" Jack whined. "I just touched it and it came right off in my hand!"

"What were you doing touching it in the first place?" Ianto sounded exasperated. "You know Stuart's off limits, on Owen's orders. He's very old and fragile. I told Owen he should be kept at home, but apparently he was putting girls off when he was in Owen's bedroom. One even complained Stuart was leering at her." Ianto considered Stuart for a moment. "She has a point."

"What do I do? Owen will kill me!"

"Give me the leg, I'll mend the skeleton."
