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: Owen's still holding Dizzy up by its tail, so it's just using its muscles, like us swinging a leg. It's good excercise for a Flufflet, makes it grow big and strong ;)

Team Torchwood were helping a group of aliens whose ship had landed on earth rather more suddenly than intended, thanks to engine failure.

Giving them the thumbs up to let them know they were all fine after their rough landing, Owen was taken aback by their reaction. Every last one of them flushed from pale blue to bright purple, their feathery crests shot upright, and their already large eyes widened so far he half expected their eyeballs to fall out.

"Uh, Owen?" Ianto murmured. "Somehow I don't think that gesture means the same to them as it does to us."
