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.

It had been Jack's idea for Ianto to try his hand at Weevil hunting as a way of becoming more integrated into the team, and so far it was going about as well as his previous attempt at getting Torchwood's GSO out into the field. That had ended with Ianto almost being butchered and eaten by human cannibals, and this time it looked like there was every possibility of him becoming Weevil chow.

The adventure had begun promisingly enough, much the way the trip to the Beacons had, but then everything had started to go downhill, and Ianto began to wonder whether that was his fault, or if it was just a Torchwood thing.

They'd located the straying Weevil easily enough, rummaging in bins behind the Indian takeaway, and they'd given chase. But suddenly there'd been two Weevils, and somehow Ianto had become separated from Jack, facing a cranky Weevil by himself in a narrow alleyway. Now what was he supposed to do? What would Jack do?

"The best defence is a good offence," Ianto muttered under his breath. "Let's see if that's true." Weevil spray in one hand, stun-gun in the other, Ianto roared at the Weevil and charged.
