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: Jack basically just has a human head or face on the front of his spider body.

Squishing spiders isn't always the best idea, it's messy. Probably didn't do your slipper much good either.

Owen would have a field day studying human-spider silk - if he could get hold of some.

Myf is mostly just baffled. It sounds like Jack, even though it doesn't exactly LOOK like Jack, so she's just watching it.

Thank you.

Stepping into Jack's office, Ianto watched Spider-Jack working at his computer, using his front legs to tap at the keys like a two-finger typist. His abdomen rested awkwardly on his chair, the rest of his legs arrayed around him, feet on the floor.

Jack was quite proud of himself for managing to manoeuvre himself into his seat. He swivelled slightly to look at Ianto.

"Hey!"

"How's it going?"

"According to this, I have a gland back there," he pointed one leg at his rear, "that makes spider-silk. Just need to figure out how it works."

"No instructions?"

"Sadly not."

"Figures."
