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.

A/N: For star54kar's prompt 'Icicles'

I love Janto: In the song at this point, four calling birds are sent, but as usual, the Rift got it slightly wrong and sent fork-hauling birds instead. I think they're farm labourers on their home planet, used to hauling their heavy equipment around with them. Thank you.

"Where better to spend our first Christmas out among the stars than the planet Winter?" said Jack as he brought their ship in to land at the spaceport. "You'll love it here. The icicles chime like bells when the wind blows! There's a roaring fire in every cabin, beautiful scenery and every kind of snow sport imaginable. We'll hire an ice yacht to see the sights; frost caverns, snow sculptures, the frozen sea…"

Jack's enthusiasm was infectious; Ianto felt excitement bubbling inside him like he was a kid again.

"Sounds amazing!"

"It will be," Jack smiled, "because we're here together."
