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.

Title: Illusive Alien

Author: badly-knitted

Written For: Challenge 300 at tw100

Spoilers: None.

Summary: Some aliens prove harder to catch than others.

My sixth drabble for Challenge 300. I've completed the challenge by writing all nine drabbles, and I've just started trying to write another nine, 'cause I'm a glutton for punishment, lol!

I love Janto: Ianto's definitely in charge and Jack loves it that way, lol! He'll be the perfect slave, seeing to all Ianto's needs because when Jack takes on a role he does the best job with it that he possibly can. Thank you.

Torchwood had been chasing an alien through Cardiff's streets for what felt like half the night, and probably was. It had eluded them numerous times, despite Tosh directing them via CCTV.

That was probably due to it constantly changing shape so they never knew what they were looking for, Ianto reflected.

He and Owen finally cornered it by the lake in Bute Park, quickly netting it before it could escape again.

"How did you know that one was the alien shape-shifter?" Owen demanded.

Ianto gave him a withering look.

"Is your eyesight that bad? Swans don't usually have three legs."
