Written For: Challenge 299 – Green Eggs and Ham at

Spoilers: None.
Summary: It’s Owen’s night on duty.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
It was Owen’s turn on night duty, so he’d come prepared.
Snacks, a handheld computer game for entertainment until bedtime, his iPod loaded with great music, and something else hidden at the bottom of his bag that he’d made sure no one else found out about.
The team had all gone home, Jack and Ianto were on a date and the Hub was quiet. Nosy slithered obediently into its bunk and Owen tucked it in.
“Ready for your bedtime story?”
Nosy hummed eagerly.
Owen pulled a book from his bag and settled down.
“Green Eggs and Ham, by Doctor Seuss…”
The End

Date: 2013-11-01 03:45 pm (UTC)Nosy brings out Owen's nurturing side - plus Nosy won't laugh at Owen for liking Dr Seuss books.

Date: 2013-11-02 12:12 pm (UTC)I love Dr Seuss too, I think I'm going to start seeing if I can pick some up from charity shops. They're so popular though, they usually get snapped up quickly. I haven't read them since I was a kid.
Thank you.
