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.

grobbebol: There are several possibilities - Jack might have got the date wrong, or he might not have been able to book the restaurant for the date he wanted, or this might be the anniversary of something Ianto wouldn't have thought to celebrate, like the first time he stayed with Jack all night, or the first time Jack spent the night at Ianto's flat, or even the first time they met. Whichever it is, it'll be a surprise for Ianto!

Thank you.

Owen feinted left, then right, then right again, but it did him no good. No matter how quickly he moved, his opponent was quicker, seeming to react almost before he'd decided which way to go. He took a step backwards, but the distance separating them remained unchanged.

Damn it, he'd have to shoot from here, but it wasn't a good angle. Chances were, he'd miss. He could pass the ball to Tosh, but she was in an even worse position to take the shot.

He jumped and threw, only to see the ball batted away. Nosy was way too good!
