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.

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 288, Week 4 – Reverse fandom – Last of the Summer Wine at tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: Jack takes Ianto on a disastrous date.

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

A/N: Title used was In Which Romance Isn't Dead – Just Incompetent

My eighth and final drabble for Week 4 of Challenge 288. The grand total was 33 drabbles over 4 weeks - I'm amazed, it's hard to believe I wrote so many! Tomorrow I'll start posting my drabbles for Challenge 289, barring unforeseen circumstances!

I love Janto: True, most people couldn't cope with working for Torchwood. I have a sneaking suspicion that Harry might have woken up in hospital with an inexplicable craving for coffee. Ianto is sneaky and revenge is sweet!

Their first date hadn't exactly gone to plan.

Jack had booked a table at a lovely restaurant, then they'd been late because he'd gone the wrong way down a one-way street and been stopped by the police.

Then Jack knocked the candle over and set fire to their table, making things worse when he tried to put it out with the brandy he'd grabbed from a passing waiter.

As they walked back to the car, Jack mumbled, "I wanted it to be romantic."

Ianto stared at him, then burst out laughing.

"Romantic? No. Unforgettable? Definitely. It's the thought that counts!"
