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.

208. Compulsion

Title: Compulsion

Author: badly-knitted

Characters: Tosh, Team

Rating: G

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: Alien tech does strange things to people.

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

A/N: For angelsphonebox, who provided the prompt 'Knitting.'

I love Janto: Poor Ianto, he has two problems - the first is that if he says 'No' Jack brings out the pout and the puppy dog eyes, and who can resist that? The second is that if he refuses he immediately starts wondering what he might be missing out on, so in the end he has to change his mind because he just HAS to know what it's like, lol! He figures he can always regret it afterwards, but not knowing is worse! Thank you.

Despite being used to the strange effects of alien technology, they all agreed this was among the strangest.

Tosh had started knitting and couldn't stop.

As it was usually her job to figure out alien devices and reverse their effects, that was a bit of a problem.

Well, two problems really. Tosh only knew garter stitch and had no idea how to cast off, so just kept knitting while the others tried to work out how to turn the damn thing off.

'On the bright side,' thought Tosh, 'it looks like I might break the record for world's longest scarf!'
