Drabble: Ianto Puts His Foot Down

Title: Ianto Puts His Foot Down

Author: badly_knitted

Characters/Pairing: Jack/Ianto

Challenge: For challenge 251 – Prehistoric creatures on tw100

Rating: PG-13

Warnings/Spoilers: None

Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood.

A/N: This was going to be a short fic, but it wasn’t going anywhere. Then I saw this week’s challenge on tw100 and voila, my first ever drabble. Not great, but I never thought I’d manage to write anything in 100 words!

 

 

“We can’t keep it, Jack.”

 

“But why not? We kept Myfanwy!”

 

“Myfanwy mostly keeps to the top of the Hub, there’s plenty of space up there and it’s not like anybody else uses it, so she’s never in the way.”

 

“We kept Nosy!”

 

“Nosy’s smart, it keeps out from under our feet and it’s learned what not to touch.”

 

“We kept Velvet!”

 

“Velvet’s tiny and easy to care for.”

 

“But it’s cute!”

 

“I’m not disputing that. Though come to think of it, I could…”

 

“Well why can’t we keep it?”

 

“We have nowhere to put a full grown bloody Stegosaurus!”

End

LOL! Give in to the bunny, you know you want to!

THank you, I'm quite proud of actually managing to write one. I tend to be very long-winded, so writing something so short that still makes sense is an achievement. Don't know if I will ever manage another one though. This was probably a fluke!

It now wants to nestle itself in with the Monster Plotbunny I have been arguing with since the end of S1...argh.

A good fluke though. I have never successfully written a drabble, so my hat is off to you!

Drabbles are hard, there aren't enough words ;)

I'm always amazed at the way people can craft complete stories in 100 words. I know I wrote a drabble, but it was all dialogue so in a way it was easier to fit more in. There are some amazing drabbles out there.

If I get the right ideas, this may eventually become the short fic I'd intended, or at least the idea might. I probably wouldn't use the same dialogue. It's shoved to the back of my mind at the moment though. I have the next Nosy fic to write and I'm halfway through a completely unrelated oneshot. Have to write the ideas when I get them or they disappear!

Plot bunnies are uncooperative little beasts at times, aren't they.
