Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: The effects of alien tech are not always unwelcome.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Sorry there was no drabble yesterday, my birthday got in the way and I ran out of time. Unlike Ianto.
Jack had always admired Ianto’s ability to multi-task; he was the master of doing several things at once, moving smoothly between tasks like a juggler spinning plates.
This, however, was bizarre.
A beam of light from their latest acquisition had hit Ianto while he was busily working through his ‘to do’ list and now, despite there still being only one of him, he was somehow managing to be in several places simultaneously, doing completely different things. Jack was getting dizzy just trying to look at him, but Ianto was delighted. He’d done a week’s work in a couple of hours.

I'd take any kind of Ianto personally!

Date: 2014-02-21 11:13 am (UTC)When the effects wear off, Ianto can spend some time with Jack knowing that he's already finished all his work. That should please them both =)
Thank you.

Right now, I'm trying to write 2 a day, it helps to have a lot of good prompts to choose from, I can read through my prompts and see what triggers inspiration each day. Without prompts, I'd struggle. Plus, I want to post a minimum of 250 this year which means I have to write them; having a goal keeps me motivated. I only wrote one on my birthday, but earlier in the week I wrote three in one day, so it balances out. Once I'm safely 100 drabbles ahead (I think I'm about 85 ahead at the moment), I can slow down a bit and just write one a day to replace the one I post. =)

Date: 2014-02-21 11:10 pm (UTC)However, if Ianto gets all that work done so fast, it means that he won't have any work left to do and Jack can have his undivided attention for hours, which will please them both!
Thank you.

Date: 2014-03-26 08:25 pm (UTC)I immediately imagined ideas of Jack ...
But after reading, I realized that this time, it was not possible!
Ianto must actually be happy.
