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.

He'd grown up an estate kid with a bad reputation and a police record for shoplifting. He'd been careless the first time and got caught, but that had only served to make him more cautious. He'd never slipped up again.

Moving to London was his chance to leave the past behind, reinvent himself. No one need ever know who he'd been before. He could wipe the slate clean and start over. Ianto couldn't wait to escape.
