Drabble: Gnome Is Where The Heart Is

Title: Gnome Is Where The Heart Is

Author: [livejournal.com profile] badly_knitted

Characters: Ianto, Jack, OC Gnomes

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 288, Week 3 – Reverse fandom – Last of the Summer Wine at [livejournal.com profile] tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: There’s a situation up in the Tourist Office…

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

A/N: Title used was ‘Gnome And Away’

I did it! My 10th and final drabble for Week 3.

This is that rare creature, a drabble that came out at exactly 100 words with no editing!






Up in the Tourist Office, Ianto clicked on his Bluetooth.



“Jack? Can you come up here please? We have a bit of a situation.”



Not knowing what kind of situation, Jack took the Invisible Lift up so he could enter by the front door, stopping dead as soon as he was inside.



The whole office was swarming with foot-high, white-bearded little men and women, all chattering at once in surprisingly deep voices.



He looked questioningly at Ianto.



“Gnomes?”



“Yes, sir, the entire Cardiff population. Apparently they’ve had a very nice visit, but they’d like to go Gnome now,” he smirked.



The End

Interesting tale on the prompt. Where did they all come from?

I'll bet the police are getting lots of call about missing lawn ornaments.

And now I know where my gnome could be! (bloody bastard stole it form my front garden) :(

My little gnome sitting on my windowsill loves this. ;p Gnomes are awesome.

At least they weren't Smurfs. *shudder*

LOL that last line too briliant, so very ianto to say something like that. Great drabble.

I love when a drabble comes in at 100 words without editing :-) and congratulations on writing 10 this week!

Very funny. The ending is priceless :-)

LOL! That must have been a sight to see. I think it's very amusing the Gnomes went to the Tourist Office to find out the best way to get home.

Being that it's actually a front for Torchwood, they might actually have something that will help them. :-p
