Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 488: Swear at tw100.

Summary: Now he’s been given the grand tour, there are only the formalities to deal with before Andy officially becomes a member of Torchwood.

A/N: This one’s a double drabble.





“Welcome to Torchwood, Andy Davidson.” Jack held out his hand for the other man to shake.


Andy quickly wiped his sweating palm on the leg of his trousers before accepting it. “Thanks for having me. I mean choosing me…” He flushed, suddenly flustered; everything was happening so fast. This morning it had been his day off from work, and now just like that he was switching jobs.


Jack laughed. “I know what you mean, but if you’re offering…” He trailed off with a wink, which just left Andy even more flustered.


“So what next? Do I have to fill in paperwork? Swear an oath of secrecy or something?”


“Paperwork, yes; Ianto will walk you through that, he’s a stickler for it. As for the oath, that’s covered in the paperwork; you’ll be required to sign the official secrets act, since what we do involves matters of national security.”


“I s’pose that makes sense.” Andy nodded. “Protecting Cardiff from aliens and all that.”


“Oh, it’s not just Cardiff. Sometimes what we do is in defence of the whole world.”


“Seriously?” That was a daunting thought. Andy glanced at the handful of people around him. “I think you need a bigger team.”

They were so much fun when they were insulting each other. =D

I still want Angel to regain his mortality (for keeps this time) and settle down with Buffy. The love they had for each other should be rewarded.

Spike and Buffy had good chemistry in that sense.:D

Angel and Buffy's romance was short-lived.:(

[bk_forever]

Too short for me, I wanted it to be a forever thing.

They did, they were hilarious.

Too bad it couldn't be like Lois and Clark where they were destined to live happily ever after.

I think Buffy found it easy to open up to Spike or at least be direct with him. There were too many obstacles between Buffy and Angel. Damn curse!

Well, at least we got the spinoff.

[bk_forever]

True, I loved the spin-off, but fans seldom get everything they want. Before I discovered fanfic I used to make up Buffy/Angel stories in my head where Angel's demon was one and they got back together.

Buffy didn't have to worry about hurting Spike's feelings.

I love that idea.:)

[bk_forever]

Maybe I'll try to write something like that some day.

I have an idea for a Doctor Who/Due South fic but my muse isn't working in that regard.

[bk_forever]

Just make a note to yourself and maybe one day the muses will cooperate. I keep a list of ideas and go through them every now and then to see if my muses are ready to write them yet ;)

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I try to go with the flow. I've had ideas while I'm daydreaming whilst folding the laundry or watching TV at home etc. Certain keywords can trigger a scenario.

Thank goodness for subtitles.:)

[bk_forever]

I have ideas all the time so have to keep pencil and paper handy when I'm doing chores.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

I'm lucky that I can wait until I get on my laptop. The scenario comes first before the characters. If I try to think of an idea the other way around, it doesn't work for me.

[bk_forever]

Usually, my ideas are to do with whatever story I'm writing, bits of dialogue and so forth.

Most of the time when I start to write for a prompt I have no idea what I'm going to write. I just find a starting point and start typing to see what happens.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I sometimes do freestyle writing.:)

[bk_forever]

I think most of mine could be classed that way. I start something and let the characters run with it.
