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.

163. Tree-Homing

Title: Tree-Homing - Sequel to 'Branching Out'

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Owen, Jack

Rating: PG

Written For: Challenge 296 – Autumn In Cardiff at tw100

Spoilers: None at all.

Summary: What can you do with a stranded alien tree?

Disclaimer: I don't own Torchwood, or the characters.

A/N: The final part of the Tree-logy. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

I love Janto: Quite a lot too big for the hothouse, considering that they don't know how tall it might get. Besides, it's a tree, it needs fresh air and lots of room for its roots. I'll get to work on all the requested drabbles as soon as I get the time. A couple of them won't be drabbles, I promised a ficlet for the 500th reviews and one of the other drabble requests is probably going to be a double or triple drabble, I'll have to see what happens with all the ones I have yet to write.

Autumn was in full swing, leaves turning glorious colours before falling from the native earth trees, by the time the alien tree was fully recovered.

Despite his earlier protestations, Owen had thrown himself into caring for it; the alien plants in the hothouse were his responsibility so why not a tree? Besides, it was a living thing and Owen was, above all, a healer.

"What happens to it now?" he asked Jack, "It's too big to stay in the Hub permanently."

"Torchwood owns Flat Holm Island in the bay, we'll plant it there."

So they did, and there it remains.
