Drabble: Starting Over

Title: Starting Over

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Ianto

Rating: PG

Written For: Challenge 325 – Clean Slate at tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: Ianto wants to leave his past behind and start afresh.

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

He’d grown up an estate kid with a bad reputation and a police record for shoplifting. He’d been careless the first time and got caught, but that had only served to make him more cautious. He’d never slipped up again.

Not that he’d been some criminal mastermind or anything; he’d nicked smokes, sweets, the occasional CD or bit of cheap jewellery for a girlfriend.

Moving to London was his chance to leave the past behind, reinvent himself. No one need ever know who he’d been before. He could wipe the slate clean and start over. Ianto couldn’t wait to escape.

The End

I think it started out well for him, he changed his life for the better, but then the Cybermen came...]

I think criminal mastermind skills have put him in good stead.

*grins* Thank you!

I'm hoping to get a couple more written for the prompt, I haz ideas, I was just tied up writing the next chapter of Through Time and Space for fan_flashworks. Too many deadlines! LOL!

They did no harm in the long run, especially working for Torchwood, but Ianto would never have thought of himself that way.

Thank you!

I like this.
Ianto really did work hard and make a good life for himself. He didn't know it was all going to go to hell. Lucky for him it all turned out alright in the end though.

Thank you.

Yeah, his life had a lot of ups and downs, but he got into a pretty good place eventually, despite a lot of heartbreak along the way.
