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.

grobbebol: Yuk is unfortunate. Not only is it very unappealing to look at, it's also toxic to humans. They'd send it home if they could, but since they can't identify it, they don't know where it came from. On the bright side, it doesn't seem to mind captivity.

Thank you.

"This is a bit ignominious," Ianto said, lying on his back with his hands behind his head. "Thrown in prison on an alien planet for sneezing in public; haven't they ever heard of allergies?"

"It's not so much the sneezing they have a problem with," Jack reassured him. "It's who you sneezed on."

"It was a big chicken, Jack!"

"A Murket actually," Jack corrected him, "and they're sacred here, believed to be the souls of the departed. You're lucky we're not natives; we'll only be deported rather than executed."

Ianto gave Jack a dirty look. "Well, that's comforting to know."
