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: The thanking will have to wait, there's work to do first. Later, once this is all over and they can relax, Jack will show his appreciation, I'm sure. Then Ianto will be walking rather oddly for a while ;)

They're Ice Demons, born on a frozen world, equipped for the cold. They don't stand a chance against Torchwood's weapons.

Jack thinks Ianto is being uncharacteristically vindictive but really, it's just pragmatism. Jack's only alive because he can't stay dead. Anyone else wouldn't have been so lucky. Ianto intends to make sure none of these creatures gets another shot at killing a human; he'll take them on single-handedly if he has to, but they are going down.

Termination with extreme prejudice, if you like.

He's not alone though, the team stands beside him. There's going to be an early thaw.
