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.

414. Urban Redevelopment

Title: Urban Redevelopment

Author: badly-knitted

Characters: Jack, Ianto

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 316 – Reverse Fandom – How I Met Your Mother at tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: Jack's been having fun.

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

A/N: This will probably be my last drabble for this challenge. I don't have any more written and tomorrow I need to post two of my bingo fics, the first two parts of my big AU series. There will be seven parts altogether, of wildly varying lengths, so I'm posting them as chapters of one long story - The Stages Of Life. So, apologies if there's no drabble for a couple of days. I hope to resume drabbles on Thursday.

I love Janto: He was, but he'd never see it that way. All he remembers is that he was scared half to death.

There's no doubt that when Tosh tells Jack what Ianto did, he'll be very proud.

Ianto's starting to find his way again. Losing Lisa broke him, but when the pieces are put back together he will be stronger. The worst happened but he survived it and found he could go on living. In time, he'll love again and Jack will wait patiently for that day - he knows the worth of Ianto's love.

We have more to fear from fellow humans than from any other creature in the universe, it's a sad fact. Even though most humans are decent people, there are a lot of monsters too.

Thank you!

Stepping into Jack's office early one morning, Ianto found his lover watching CCTV on his computer and grinning.

"What's got you so happy this damp and dreary morning?"

"Come and see this!"

Ianto joined Jack and leant over his shoulder. The screen showed a nearby building site, where a load of sand had been delivered the previous day. The builders were standing around it scratching their heads, bemused and unsure how to proceed. Sometime during the night, someone had got past site security and turned the building sand into sandcastles.

Ianto laughed.

"Bored last night, were you?"

"Couldn't resist it!"

The End
