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.

My second drabble this week! I have two more written, so I need to get some more done...

And we have our winner! *drum roll* The 400th review was submitted by... I love Janto ! Time to claim your prize - what would you like me to write a drabble about? (You may have to wait a while to read it, but it WILL get written, I promise, lol!)

Thanks to everyone who has reviewed since I started this drabble series. I'm not far off 100 drabbles now!

Mavis Poskitt had never married.

There had been suitors a-plenty back when she was young, but her beau had died in the war and none of the others could hold a candle to his memory.

She lived out her dreams of romance through the pages of lurid novels, full of manly men and maidens with heaving bosoms; until she moved house.

That's when she first saw them, late one night, under a streetlight. Her handsome young neighbour and his dashing boyfriend, locked in a passionate embrace.

It set her old heart a-flutter!

Now her daydreams are all about that kiss!

The End
