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.

300. The Library Of Lives

Title: The Library Of Lives

Author: badly-knitted

Characters: Ianto, mentions Jack

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 309 – The Library at tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: Perhaps there's a library where everyone's life is written down…

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

A/N: This is a bit of a weird one. The 300th chapter but my 301st drabble =)

I love Janto: In my head, this is set before Dizzy comes along, but I'm sure that Nosy will teach Dizzy to appreciate books, just as Ianto is teaching Nosy now.

Nosy likes books with simple words and lots of pictures, preferably stories about animals. It loves things like Where The Wild Things Are and anything by Dr Seuss, lol!

I think we can definitely say that Nosy doesn't have a driver's licence or anything like that, but once it gets better at reading and writing, who knows, maybe it will have a twitter account, or maybe it will start writing fanfic ;)

Thank you!

Ianto scanned the vast, cavernous room; he was in an immense library. Shelves upon shelves of books stretched before and behind him, fading into distance; to each side were yet more. He'd never felt so insignificant. How would he ever find what he was seeking?

Checking the nearest shelf, he started walking. The books were in alphabetical order, one for every human who ever had or would exist. At least he was in the right section.

After walking for miles he found Jack's life, shelves of books beyond number and beside them his own, equally numerous.

Smiling, reassured, he awoke.
