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.

189. An Unforgettable Sight

Title: An Unforgettable Sight

Author: badly-knitted

Characters: Jack, Ianto, Tosh, Owen

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 300 at tw100

Spoilers: None.

Summary: One night in Northern Scotland, Ianto sees something he'll never forget.

Disclaimer: I don't own Torchwood, or the characters.

A/N: For the square Curtain/Firmament. The fourth of (hopefully) nine drabbles for Challenge 300. I have eight written, one more to go...

I love Janto: He has an old head on his shoulders, and the snark is a part of him now, even when de-aged, lol! He doesn't like being talked down to even when he's temporarily five again. I think Jack will always be proud of him. He'll be happier when Ianto's back to his proper age though. ;)

Thank you.

Jack pulled off the coast road just north of Dunnet. Headlights off, the only illumination came from moon and stars; silence reigned but for the soft susurrus of the sea.

Ianto gazed through the windscreen at the silvered seascape. He'd never been this far North, but Archie had needed help with a crashed spaceship so they'd driven up, leaving the rest of the team in Cardiff.

They'd been heading home; Ianto didn't understand why they'd stopped until Jack pointed overhead. Curtains of scintillating light were shimmering across the heavens.

The Northern Lights

Ianto gasped, breathless at the sight.

"It's incredible!"
