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.

A/N: My second and final drabble for the current challenge.

I love Janto: They're a special branch of the International Elf Service. Very artistic Elves, these ;)

It would be rather fun, though I think it will take a few years. Thank you.

Guest: I like to think she was. She taught Ianto to really see what's around him, and to delight in the beauty of the world. Ianto takes after her; a beautiful, intelligent, gentle person, interested in everything, eager to learn new things and explore possibilities, but with an inner strength and courage. Thank you.

Ianto snuggled closer to Jack, pulling the blankets tightly around them both as he watched fingers of frost spreading lacy patterns across the SUV's windows.

Jack was cold, almost frozen solid by the aliens they'd been hunting, but in here with the emergency heat packs and thermal blankets, the doors securely locked and the windows tightly closed, they'd be safe enough.

Hopefully it wouldn't be long before the rest of the team arrived with flame-throwers and heat grenades. Then Ianto would willingly join the fight against the ice demons who'd killed his captain for fun.

They were going to pay.
