Spoilers: None.
Warnings: Random insanity.
Summary: It’s Christmas, and the Rift is apparently in a giving mood…
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Part 1 of ‘The Twelve Days of Riftmas’. Will I be able to write all twelve? No idea yet, but I’m trying!
On the first day of Christmas, Torchwood got a call from the police. A pair of odd birds had got inside Mrs Partridge’s house and made themselves at home in her Christmas tree.
She hadn’t minded at first, they were pretty and seemed satisfied with the crumbs she fed them. Then they’d built a nest of tinsel and started courting.
“Can’t hear myself think over the racket they’re making,” she told the team when they went to investigate.
“Skreeeek! Skreeeek!” sounded from the living room, like fingernails down a blackboard.
“I see what you mean,” said Ianto, handing out earplugs.

Date: 2013-12-18 03:28 pm (UTC)First I have to WRITE them all, and I'm stuck on 8, 11 and 12. The others I think I have ideas for.

Date: 2013-12-18 02:26 pm (UTC)This is going to be so much fun, I can tell already.

Date: 2013-12-18 03:31 pm (UTC)Some of them are going to be a bit bizarre, the Rift has a strange way of interpreting things, lol!
I'm stuck on 8, 11 and 12 if you have any suitably demented ideas!
Thank you.

Date: 2013-12-18 03:48 pm (UTC)How to combine 11 with pipes though. *scratches head*
*Grins* I'll work on those and see what happens. At least it's the later ones that are giving me trouble. I have 2 and 3 written, 4, 5 & 6 mappped out, a tentative idea for 7...
THank you.

Date: 2013-12-18 03:54 pm (UTC)Now I have this idea about Jack taking bagpipe lessons and Ianto being all calm about it until the team find out he's wearing earplugs..

no subject
Date: 2013-12-18 03:41 pm (UTC)I have ideas for everything except 8, 11 & 12, so if you think of any demented Rift interpretations of those, let me know!
Thank you!

Date: 2013-12-19 03:43 pm (UTC)The first 7 days are written and I just posted The Second Day, but I'm stuck on days 11 & 12, 11 pipers piping and 12 drummers drumming. No idea yet what to do with those.

Date: 2013-12-19 07:41 pm (UTC)I'll have to think about that, 100 words doesn't give much room for explanations, but it's a great idea!

Date: 2013-12-23 09:21 pm (UTC)I need earplugs just thinking about the noise of those birds! *Shudders*

Date: 2013-12-23 09:57 pm (UTC)Thank you. I still hve to write the last one and I think some are better than others, but it's fun trying to work out each day.

Date: 2013-12-25 11:10 pm (UTC)A partridge in a pear tree
Two turtledoves
Three French hens
Four calling birds
Five gold rings
Six geese a-laying
Seven swans a-swimming
Eight maids a-milking
Nine ladies dancing
Ten lords a-leaping
Eleven pipers piping
Twelve drummers drumming
Instead, the Rift sent a pair in Mrs Partridge's tree.
The rest are even sillier, I hope you can make sense of it all.
Thank you.
