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: Sometimes Ianto thinks he's the only adult in the Hub. He still loves Jack though. Not so much the others, except Tosh.

Yep! Myfanwy will claim anything airborne. Thankfully she didn't try to eat it, it's too big for that. (What is on the floor is Nosy's. Heeee! That makes me think of all kinds of cuteness!)

Thank you! Hope falling off the chair didn't hurt!

They took the precaution of shutting Myfanwy in her aerie before re-testing the repaired drone. It hadn't been badly damaged, but the bent propeller would have caused steering problems and she'd managed to knock the flight rotor off. Tosh and Ianto redesigned the mount to make it stronger.

This time, everything was going well until Jack tried using the manual controls without switching off the autopilot.

The poor drone, confused by conflicting instructions, spun around in circles for a moment, then crashed into the wall, bending the propeller again.

Everyone winced.

Despite that, Tosh declared the test successful. Sort of.
