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.

Passerby: Ch. 675 - Certainly not! Ianto likes things to be of a suitable standard for HM.

Ch. 676 - There's no shortage of red pens in the Hub, Ianto keeps a good stock of all essential items ;)

Dibart: Jack has been around for a very long time, he's become a bit lazy and careless since the days when penmanship and accuracy were all important. Jack adapts to the time je lives in, and that's not always a good thing.

Thank you, I'm so glad you're still enjoying the drabbles!

Standing on the catwalk, Tosh dipped her brush in red paint and swept it across the bare wall. She tuned out the quiet sounds of the Hub in night mode, her entire concentration focussed on the image slowly taking shape before her. It was as though it already existed beneath the concrete's surface; she was merely making it visible.

Dragons appeared in both Welsh and Japanese mythology, symbols of strength and power, yet elusive and mysterious. It seemed an appropriate emblem for Torchwood, an organisation as legendary and secretive as the winged creature. Perhaps it would bring them good fortune.
