Title: Safe Harbour

Characters: Ianto, Jack
Rating: G
Written For: DarqueQueen7, for leaving the 300th review on my ff.net drabble collection. I hope this is what you wanted!
Spoilers: None at all.
Summary: Sometimes Ianto feels adrift, but Jack is there for him.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
Leaning on the railings, Ianto stared across the bay, wind ruffling his hair.
He shivered. Sometimes he felt like one of those boats out on the water, tossed relentlessly by storms, adrift, going where he was driven with no will of his own. It scared him. His life revolved around Torchwood and sometimes he wasn’t sure who he was anymore.
Warm, strong arms enveloped him from behind; soft lips brushed his cheek.
He closed his eyes and sighed, leaning into the embrace, anchored once more in the safe harbour that was Jack, knowing whatever happened, he wouldn’t face it alone.
The End

Great new drabble! :)

Glad you liked it, it was a joy to write.
Thank you!

Date: 2013-08-01 10:34 am (UTC)I think this one benefitted from not having a deadline, lol! I was able to fine-tune it over a period of a few weeks, a luxury I'm not usually afforded because of having to post drabbles before the next prompt is announced.
(I took part in a meme thing while you were offline, writing missing scenes, alternate endings etc on amy of my fics, so if you have a request, I'd welcome it. Meme is here -

Date: 2013-08-01 01:15 pm (UTC)I'm just trying to get my muse working steadily. I have a few new fics to post, but I'm spacing them out one a week to give myself time for more writing and drabbling, otherwise I'll be spending all my time posting, cross-posting and replying to comments!

Date: 2013-07-31 11:37 pm (UTC)edited because I posted in the wrong place the first time. Ten years in LJ you'd think I know how to work it by now!

Date: 2013-08-01 10:37 am (UTC)Thank you, I had a very good and detailed prompt to work from and plenty of time to fine-tune it - so nice not to have to rush to get it posted before a deadline!
Glad you liked it!
