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.

Thank you.

"It's supposed to help people deal with their phobias," Jack said, sounding peeved.

"Become that which scares you the most and you lose your fear of it. I can see how that might work. On some people, anyway." Ianto studied the giant spider in front of him curiously; Jack's face stared mournfully back at him from the spider's 'head'. "So what's it feel like?"

"Really weird. I've got too many legs, I keep tripping over my own feet." He tried to walk forward, got all his legs tangled and toppled over at Ianto's feet. "See?" he whined. "I hate spiders!"
