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.

153. The Gathering

Title: The Gathering

Author: badly-knitted

Characters: Jack, Team

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 294 – Teddy Bears' Picnic at tw100

Spoilers: None at all.

Summary: Jack and the team observe some alien visitors.

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

A/N: I decided I should write something that fit the prompt a bit better… My fourth and probably final drabble for the current challenge.

I love Janto: Owen is probably just jealous! Yes, Ianto knows exactly how to motivate Jack to behave. Jack will be the perfect bear throughout the mission, and then afterwards... Well, he'll show Ianto what a bear can do! ;)

Thank you to my reviewers and to my new followers and favouriters, welcome, I hope you enjoy!

"They're not actually teddy bears," Jack explained to his team in a low voice, "they just look similar."

Truthfully, the creatures really did resemble oversized stuffed toy bears. There were around seventy of them, all shades of brown and grey, sitting in a circle in a woodland clearing.

"Are they having a picnic?" Gwen asked in an awed whisper.

"Clan gathering," Jack replied. "Every year they choose a neutral planet and the clan leaders gather for a meeting; set up trade, exchange news, elect new leaders, that kind of thing. Don't worry, they're peaceful folk. By morning they'll be gone."
