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.

I love Janto: I think Ianto must have been trapped in the Rift for several hundred years (which would have been horrible), then spat out somewhere in the future, but he will have been alone for a lot of years, finding his way back to earth. He didn't know how much time had passed when he first came out of the Rift, but now he does. (I'm cruel, aren't I. Poor Ianto. But things will get better eventually. He needs time to heal from his experiences in the Rift before he finds Jack again.)

Thank you.

Ianto frowned and glared accusingly at the small green frond. He didn't know where they came from, but every spring it was the same. One day there would be nothing but bare concrete, the next day little green shoots would have appeared overnight, peeping out of cracks and crevices around the Rift pool.

It didn't matter how inhospitable and unsuitable a place might seem, there was always some kind of plant that would find a way to grow there.

Sighing, he fetched a kneeling pad and his tools. Weeds. They'd end up taking over the Hub if they weren't stopped.
