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: Yeah, Jack helps Ianto remember how to be young and have fun. After everything he's been through, sometimes he needs a reminder. Tosh sees that side of him from time to time, but Jack is the one who sees it the most. It's good for Jack to stay young at heart, because he'll live forever and acting his age all the time would not be good.

Glad you're enjoying Action Figure Theatre. Hopefully I'll have time at some point this year to do something a bit more adventurous with them. I have ideas, but I still need to get a few more props.

There was a soft rapping at Jack's office door and Tosh poked her head inside.

"Jack? Could you spare a minute?"

"Come in, Tosh. What's up?"

"I think I may have done something terrible." She wrung her hands together, looking worried.

Jack gestured for her to continue.

"I was bored, so I was hacking into various places, just to see if I could. I didn't mean to do anything, but…"

Jack hardly dared ask, but he was her boss.

"What did you do?"

"I think I've accidentally taken over the world. Sorry."

Jack shrugged.

"At least it's in safe hands."
