Title: Urban Redevelopment

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Jack, Ianto

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 316 – Reverse Fandom – How I Met Your Mother at tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: Jack’s been having fun.

Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.

A/N: This will probably be my last drabble for this challenge. I don’t have any more written and tomorrow I need to post two of my bingo fics, the first two parts of my big AU series. There will be seven parts altogether, of wildly varying lengths. So, apologies if there’s no drabble for a couple of days. I hope to resume drabbles on Thursday.

Stepping into Jack’s office early one morning, Ianto found his lover watching CCTV on his computer and grinning.

“What’s got you so happy this damp and dreary morning?”

“Come and see this!”

Ianto joined Jack and leant over his shoulder. The screen showed a nearby building site, where a load of sand had been delivered the previous day. The builders were standing around it scratching their heads, bemused and unsure how to proceed. Sometime during the night, someone had got past site security and turned the building sand into sandcastles.

Ianto laughed.

“Bored last night, were you?”

“Couldn’t resist it!”

The End

A/N2: Title used was ‘Sandcastles In The Sand’

*nods* My language (Finnish) is also quite tricky to learn, and has its own quirks (like spelling the word right, because adding a letter
*can* change things - 'tuli'/'tulli'/'tuuli' (fire/customs (like encountered while traveling)/wind) or 'lakkaa satamasta' ((when it)stops raining/(to go get)shellac from a harbor)).

I'd definitely never manage to learn Finnish, I couldn't even master French at school and that's supposed to be easy, lol! Languages are my weak point. if I hadn't learnt English from birth I don't know what I'd do!

Here we have to take at least one language besides one's own. We always have to take Swedish... and Swedish-speaking minority has to take Finnish. I took, besides Swedish and English, also French (though I re-started it once *lol*). My sister took more, and my parents can speak also several. My Swedish is clumsy and basic, and I use French only to read comics, which was my goal for taking it anyway XD

We had to take French at school. I had lessons for 5 years and I was still useless. It was so long ago now that I've forgotten most of what I learned anyway. I always wanted to learn languages, but my brain just doesn't seem to have any aptitude for them. Sad really.
