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: Ianto is the Coffee King, Master of Beverages. Dragons have a great deal of respect for such a civilised talent.

The task at hand is mainly to prevent the engines exploding. Once that's dealt with, there will no doubt be more tea before Tosh and Ianto assist with the repairs. Dragons only rush things when asbsolutely necessary.

Thank you.

Nosy was, as its name would suggest, somewhat nosy. Whatever anyone was doing, sooner or later the curious alien would have to investigate.

Usually, Nosy simply watched, finding even routine things fascinating. It would peer over Tosh's shoulder at her computer screen or hang over the railings watching Owen performing an autopsy.

One day, poking around on Gwen's desk, there was a zapping sound and suddenly Nosy's fluff was standing on end. It gave a startled squeak.

"Let that be a lesson to you," Ianto said sternly, retrieving the errant Taser. "Curiosity kills the cat, but it frazzles the Fluff!"
