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.

sandysan2013: Maybe just the threat of abandoning Jack overnight if he gets behind with his paperwork will be enough.

Nosy is a very wise Fluff. It could teach its humans a thing or two.

Thank you!

"Ow!" Tosh jerked her hands away from her keyboard, rubbing her fingers.

"Are you alright?"

She glanced up at Jack's new hire, Ianto. "Yes, I'm fine, a static electric shock, that's all. Mainframe's just cranky. She acts up sometimes."

"She?"

"Didn't Jack tell you? The Hub's computers are semi-organic technology, Mainframe is alive, in a sense and when something irritates her, I get electric shocks until I fix the problem. It's sort of her way of asking for help."

"Amazing. Well, I suppose I'd better get back to sorting the archives."

Tosh watched him hurry away. Such a strange man.
