Characters: Jack and Ianto
Rating: G
Spoilers: None
Summary: Millennia pass by, but their love remains as strong as ever.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: For the prompt ‘Still Into You’, one of the prompts I didn’t get around to using for tw100’s challenge 292: Billboard Hot 100 last year. I’ve dug them out again to supplement the prompts I got from my f-list, just because there are still loads I wanted to use.
A/N2: The 500th chapter in my drabble collection! YAY! (Okay, so it’s actually my 501st posted drabble, but I can’t count the first drabble I posted because I posted it separately. If I’d added it to the collection I might have lost the lovely reviews it received…)
Five thousand years of marriage seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.
They raised children many times, watched their grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and countless generations marry and raise families of their own. They renewed their vows in every joining ceremony they came across and Jack joked that if they had to wear all the tokens of their commitment to each other at the same time they wouldn’t be able to move.
There were fights and make-up sex, joys and tragedies, but through it all their love for each other never wavered.
Two bodies, two hearts, sharing a single soul.
The End

Thank you!

Date: 2014-09-22 10:33 am (UTC)Drabbles are something I work at nearly every day, but it does still take work to get down to the right number of words. I'm learning various tricks to help me though, finding words that can be left out etc.
