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.

Guest 1: He serves his country of his planet when the need arises. He has a strong sense of duty, i think.

Humans seem incapable of getting along with each other, or with other species, so there'll probably be quite a few more wars in his future.

He always looks good. Thank you.

Guest 2: My semi-sentient version of the Coat certainly does, although it gets a little annoyed with him at times because of his carelessness. ;)

Thank you!

The new millennium hadn't got off to the start Jack had been hoping for. A few hours earlier he'd been looking toward the future with anticipation, even excitement; the century had turned twice, so his Doctor could show up any time now. The long years of waiting were finally drawing to an end.

Then he'd been faced with clearing up after Alex massacred the entire team.

Standing in the morgue, Jack gazed sightlessly at the uniform rows of drawers, the final resting places of the people he'd called his friends. How many more would join them before the Doctor came?
