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.

210. Childhood Memories

Title: Childhood Memories

Author: badly-knitted

Characters: Ianto, OFC

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 301 - Frost at tw100

Spoilers: None.

Summary: Ianto remembers his mother.

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

A/N: My first drabble for the new prompt. I do have another one written, but that'll probably be all. I have lots of other drabbles to post though so with luck I'll reach 200 for 2013 by the end of the year, which will be when this collection reaches chapter 234 I think...

I wonder if it's possible to reach 1000 chapter here...

I love Janto: I have a theory that without knowing it, Tosh has met every incarnation of the Doctor at some point in her life. It just seems like the sort of thing that would happen to her, lol!

Kit hangs upside down by her feet, like all bats. She has special footholds built into all her ceilings so she can get around easily ;)

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Little Ianto stared in wonder at the frost making pretty patterns on the windowpanes. Coming up behind him, his mother wrapped her arms around him in a warm hug.

"That's the work of elves you know," she told him. "On winter nights they come and spin lace out of ice crystals to decorate the world and make everything beautiful."

"Why do they only do it in winter?" Ianto asked.

"Because the rest of the year, the world is beautiful enough."

OoOoO

Ianto smiled to himself. He knew better now, but frost on the windows would always remind him of his mother.
