Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Ianto and Jack’s dinner date doesn’t end well.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Title from Guy Clark’s song of the same name.
Ianto was appalled. How could such a swanky restaurant be so backward in one vital respect? If he were a restaurant critic, he decided, he would definitely not recommend eating there.
The food had been excellent, the ambience pleasant and welcoming, the service faultless, the staff polite and the standards of hygiene beyond reproach. Even the prices were reasonable. He and Jack had thoroughly enjoyed their meals.
Then they’d made their one mistake; they’d ordered coffee.
It had been served in elegant cups, along with after dinner mints, but even beautiful presentation couldn’t disguise the fact that it was instant!
The End

Date: 2014-03-19 01:31 pm (UTC)I think I can manage for a Torchwood drabble or two, but FAKE? Ummmm.... I'm struggling here, lol!
Still haven't written the second kitten drabble, I got sidetracked last night. Wrote a drabble for Torchwood with one of my saved prompts, then had an idea how I could use it for FAKE and wrote that instead of the kitten one. Not that I mind, the more drabbles the merrier! I think I have 4 written for FAKE, ready yo post when I can fit them into my posting schedule. Might get one up today, might not, depends whether I have enough time among everything else I need to do =)
