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.

Here's my 4th drabble offering for this week's challenge. Tomorrow I will be posting a sad one - thought 'd better warn you all so you can have tissues on hand!

I love Janto: A lot I would think, but probably not as many as he'd like people to believe!

Thanks to everyone who has reviewed! At the rate people are reviewing I'll be at 500 reviews before I know it! I love you guys =D

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Ianto came up from the archives chuckling, waving an old newspaper.

"You lot have got to see this!"

Gathering around him, they looked at the paper, The South Glamorgan Gazette, 20th August 1949.

The front page held a grainy photograph captioned 'Jack Harry Teesdale of Cardiff displays his prize-winning leek at the South Glamorgan Agricultural show.'

Jack, dressed in his usual attire minus the coat, beamed out at them from under a flat cap, holding up a gigantic leek.

Everyone giggled.

"Teesdale?" inquired Ianto.

Jack was unapologetic.

"Couldn't use my real name. I won ten shillings for Best In Show!"
