Title: By A Shady Pool – Sequel to ‘Why Don’t We…?’

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Ianto, Jack.

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 344: Fish at tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: The boys find their perfect fishing spot.

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

One good thing about working for Torchwood was that whatever you needed, you stood a pretty good chance of finding something suitable in the archives. The fishing rods and tackle box weren’t new but they were serviceable, and the book about freshwater angling would come in handy.

Ianto packed a picnic lunch and some tempting oddments to try as bait, and by mid-morning they were setting up their camp chairs on the shady shore of a small, picturesque lake.

Following the book’s instructions, they baited their hooks, dropped them into the water, and waited for the fish to start biting.

The archives double as the world biggest secondhand department store. :)

With things from the past, present and future of earth and the rest of the universe. Very handy, but a nightmare to catalogue and organise.

Thank you!

The archives are awesome..want one!

[bk_forever]

They're almost as good as a TARDIS!

Thank you.

It seems to be quite a relaxing day, so far .....

[bk_forever]

I'm sure they've earned it!

Thank you!

[owensheart.livejournal.com]

Sounds so relaxing wish I was there.

great drabble

[bk_forever]

Me too. In my head, it's a really pretty spot on a gloriously warm day.

Thank you!

So far, so good! I'm sure the boys are enjoying their time off. (Not so sure how long that will last, though...)

LOL--for some reason a lazy Luke icon posted above instead of the Jack/Ianto one I meant to pick! But I'll leave it because it seems appropriate to the mood. Too, I'm sure if they catch any fish they don't want, Luke will be happy to take it off their hands. ;)

[bk_forever]

I don't think even Luke would want what Ianto's caught!

Thank you!

[tardisjournal.livejournal.com]

Good point--it IS a lake near a Rift in time and space, after all! Luke says he'll stick with terrestrial fish, and the occasional bowl of kibble, thank you.

Fun series! :)

[bk_forever]

Thank you! As always, when I started this, I had no idea it would end up being a drabble series. One drabble just leads to another, and before I know it - series!

Luke is sensible, gnawing on tentacles is seldom a good idea.

[bk_forever]

They're relaxing while they have the chance, lol!

Thank you!

Aw...that's cute! And of course the Archives have fishing gear in them somewhere!

[bk_forever]

Everything is there if you know where to look!

Ianto likes to be properly equipped ;)

Thank you!

[timelordshines.livejournal.com]

At least Ianto knows where to look for the things they need. Jack would have no hope!

[bk_forever]

Ianto is scarily organised - I could use him here!

Thank you!

[jedi-harkness.livejournal.com]

I keep giggling to myself as I try to picture this in my head. ;)

[bk_forever]

If he's going to do something,Ianto likes to make sure he does it right. Jack doesn't really care, but he'll humor Ianto.

Thank you!
