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.

Everything had changed since the 456 tried to take ten percent of the world's children. It had been an awful time, and it was nothing short of a miracle that the ragged remains of Torchwood Three had managed to defeat the alien threat, despite their own government trying to kill them to prevent them from 'interfering', but they'd succeeded. Now the whole world knew, not just about aliens but about Torchwood.

Of course, folks around Cardiff had already known of Torchwood's existence, if not the details of what they actually did. They'd been reviled by the police and the public alike, for taking over crime scenes, and causing damage, even though the damage was more often caused by alien invaders, or dangerous technology fallen into the wrong hands. Since the 456 though, the public had rather changed their tune. It made life… interesting.

All Ianto was trying to do was pick up a few groceries, because the team still needed to eat. So here he was, trundling a trolley through ASDA, and…

"Excuse me… You're with Torchwood, aren't you?"

He turned with a smile; there was no point lying. "Yes."

"Could I have your autograph?"

Suddenly, the team were celebrities.
