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.

I love Janto: It is a bit sad, but then again, Jack had lived for so long he knows what's really imporant. A lot of things are just things, they don't really matter. Material possessions sometimes just get in the way. As long as he has his Ianto, what more does he really need?

I'm sure they'll think of something worthwhile for the rest of the day. They can celebrate moving in together!

Thank you!

Bagting Hangin: Heh! That's Jack all over, sneaking his clothes in bit by bit until everything's at Ianto's place. It's worked out well though, it makes moving in much easier!

Thank you!

Sitting on the SUV's tailgate, mind whirling and body aching, Ianto was almost glad of the pain; it reminded him he was alive. He was surprised to be glad about that.

When Lisa died, he'd believed he had nothing left to live for. Now he was starting to think he'd been wrong about that, and a lot of other things too.

Jack wasn't a monster after all, just a man dedicated to defending his team and humanity from alien threats.

Perhaps the real monsters were humans themselves, the ones who preyed on their own kind.

It was a sobering thought.
