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: I think Jack does know, he just plays along because he really enjoys it when Ianto decides to 'punish' him, it's one of his favourite games. ;)

I didn't think Torchwood was meant to be from Gwen's point of view - it was supposed to be an ensemble show - but it ended up being so Gwen-centric that casual viewers got the idea that she was the star of the show and the main character instead of Jack.

Gwen had a superior attitude from the start - a bit much coming from a rookie police constable who wasn't even good at her original job. She wasn't better than the others, just luckier.

Thank you.

Everywhere Tosh looked, there were trees and shrubs in blossom; white, pink, purple, yellow, they looked beautiful, a sure sign that spring was here to stay.

Lilac and magnolia, forsythia and laburnum, cherry, apple, pear and plum; every garden she passed on her way to work had at least one, petals showering down around it every time the breeze stirred the delicate flowers. In the park, the bigger trees bore their own insignificant, all-but-invisible blooms, but Tosh knew they were there.

She sneezed for the umpteenth time. Walking to work had been a seriously bad idea. Bloody tree pollen allergy!
