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.

320. Ferreting About

Title: Ferreting About -Sequel to 'Transforming'

Author: badly-knitted

Characters: Ianto, Jack

Rating: G

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: Ianto and Jack experience ferret-hood.

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

A/N: For the prompt 'The Day of the Welsh Ferret', one of the prompts I didn't get around to using for tw100's challenge 288 last year. I've dug them out again to supplement the prompts I got from my f-list, just because there are still loads I wanted to use. This one's a double drabble

I love Janto: He's pin-striped, so I'm sure it IS Ianto, lol!

Don't worry, Jack knew what they were going to do, even if he didn't know what they would turn into, so he made sure Ianto let Myfanwy out first. She's somewhere flying over the countryide while the boys are ferreting about in the Hub. They really are having a great time!

Thank you!

Guest: Ch 316 - Voices: Now that Jack has Ianto beside him, someone he'll never have to lose, the voices on the wind are getting quieter, he can let them go now.

Ch. 319 - Transforming: Yep, ferrets! Owen won't come back this time, but I have an idea for another ferret-fic in which his return causes problems.

I don't know what I'd choose to be turned into, though I have to admit being a ferret would be fun for a couple of hours; ferrets know how to enjoy themselves, they're very playful. I wouldn't mind being a tree for a while. I like trees, I think it would be quite relaxing.

Thank you!

A tiny corner of Ianto's mind that still thought like a human registered that being a ferret was fun! The Hub was full of interesting smells to sniff at, especially the odd sock he found under a desk, which smelled very good indeed. Almost as good as the other ferret did!

The ferrets played tug o' war with the sock for a bit, then went romping across the vast expanse of the Hub, which seemed so much bigger to a ferret. They chased each other round and round, up and down stairs, in and out of rooms and under furniture.

.

Becoming more adventurous, they found ferret-sized holes to explore, wriggling sinuously through air ducts and cable conduits before returning to the open area, where they pounced on each other.

Wrestling the other ferret was exciting! Rolling over and over they nipped at each other, tugged on tail tips and ears, pawed and chewed each other all over. The intoxicating scent of the blue-grey ferret made Ianto-ferret feel quite giddy and licking it, he discovered it tasted as good as it smelled. The other ferret seemed to agree, so they turned their attention to grooming each other enthusiastically. It was bliss!
