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 knows that love is worth the pain, he'll never stop opening his heart to love because without it he would die inside. Thank you.

Guest: LOL! Have no fear, Jack has loved and lost in the past, but with Ianto he gets to love and keep!

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy both kinds of drabbles. I never know which a prompt will inspire until I sit down to write - sometimes the results surpride me!

Something was lurking in the Hub.

It lurked in the shadows under the stairs, barely visible but Ianto knew it was there.

Later, he half saw it lurking behind a kitchen cupboard, almost but not quite hidden.

Jack spotted it lurking beneath his office shelves. Unable to concentrate on his paperwork, he went to bother Ianto in the archives.

It lurked under Tosh's desk and startled Gwen into dropping the file she was reading.

And when they were eating lunch, there it was lurking under the sofa.

"Why's Dizzy doing that?" asked Jack.

Ianto smirked.

"It's hoping for cookie crumbs."
