Title: Sacrilege
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Gwen, Ianto.
Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 649: Jar at tw100.
Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: There’s something shocking in one of Gwen’s shopping bags.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Double drabble.




Since the Rift was being uncharacteristically quiet and there wasn’t much of anything going on, Gwen had nipped out to do a bit of shopping. Rhys normally took care of such domestic tasks, but he’d broken his ankle playing rugby and could barely hobble around at home using the crutches the hospital had given him. Going to the shops was out of the question.


Coming back into the Hub laden with bags, Gwen was relieved when Ianto appeared seemingly out of nowhere, offering to help.


“Thanks. I know I probably should’ve dropped everything off at home, but if I did that, I’d be stuck there the rest of the day. Rhys can’t expect me to do everything for him.”


Taking a couple of the bags, Ianto frowned. “Is that a jar of instant coffee?”


“Relax, Ianto; it’s for home, not for here. Rhys is like a bear with a sore head if he doesn’t get his morning coffee, and his lunchtime coffee, and his evening coffee…”


“But instant!” Ianto’s pained expression said it all. “Oh well, at least now I know what I’m getting the two of you as a wedding present; a coffee machine and some good-quality coffee beans.”



The End

Ianto is so thoughtful.

It's more for his peace of mind than anything else. Instant coffee is too horrible to even think about!

Thank you!

That reminds me of the Charmed episode where they had to avoid the Shocker demon by turning off the electricity.

Piper Halliwell: Well, I hate instant coffee but I'm drinking it, aren't I?

(She takes a sip and pulls a face.)

She and Ianto wouild get along well, I think.

Now that's a crossover fic waiting to happen.:)

[bk_forever]

I won't be the one writing it though, it's been too long since I watched Charmed.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

I can understand that. If I haven't seen a program recently, all I have is ideas.

[bk_forever]

I have to have the characters clear in my mind and I just don't.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

I see. I may watch YouTube for inspiration.

[bk_forever]

Watching Youtube can help, but I need to see a lot more than a few snippets to be comfortable writing a character.

Rhys will be grateful for the gift. He'll probably end up making the coffee, as I can't see Gwen bothering to learn. Ianto will teach Rhys and he'll enjoy good coffee

[bk_forever]

Yes, and Rhys will be thrilled to bits with the thoughtful gift. His coffee might never match Ianto's in quality, but it'll be a damn sight better than instant.

Thank you!
