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: Ianto is too busy laughing right now to do much of anything, lol! When he stops laughing he'll start teasing Jack. Hardly anyone (except the police) recognises Jack as himself when he's not wearing the coat, but he gets mistaken for someone else, lol!

Thank you!

Guest: I know, right? Jack just can't understand it - he's so much better looking than that actor guy... He just knew he should have worn his coat; no one makes such silly mistakes when he wears that. ;)

Thank you!

It was an unprepossessing island, stuck out in the Bristol Channel, exposed to the elements and frequently battered by storms. Small, windswept, barren of trees, the only things that seemed to thrive there were the hardiest of plants and several species of gull.

But it was isolated, not easily accessible, and still had some more or less intact buildings that could be restored for use. In short, it was just what Jack needed.

With the blessing of the Crown, Flat Holm Island became a sanctuary for the victims of the Rift, their shelter from a world that wouldn't understand them.
