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

That's great that you got Myfanwy! I want one too! lol! Actually, the Brontosaurus and the pterodactyls are my top two favorites. I think they are tied. lol! I love to watch the pelicans, when we are at the beach, fly way overhead. They have this long wing span and I think they may have descended from teradactlys like some believe, but who knows? They sure look like mini-pterodactyls to me. :D

I grew-up loving dolls and barbies, and stuffies, but I was a weird teenager I guess. I started loving some things that mostly had been guy things like sci-fi (which it is not now) and dinosaurs. I loved a tv show, I don't know if you ever saw it in the UK. It was "Beauty and the Beast" with Ron Perlman and Linda Hamilton. He was a man/beast I guess, lived down underneath New York City in the tunnels with other people he loved. He rescued Catherine and fell in love with her. He would quote shakespeare to her and they loved classical music. Long story, did you ever see that one? It was only on two and a-half seasons and I don't count the last half because the idiots killed off Catherine (beauty) and brought in some new girl.

I loved Beauty and the Beast and so did Mum, we used to watch it together. Ron Perlman is one of the greatest actors under prosthetic mskeup who has ever existed, Vincent was so beautiful and Ron's voice is just perfect. I am also a huge Hellboy fan - partly because of Ron, but also b ecause I love the character - I just have to watch that again soon! One of my favourite movies =)

Oh we must be sisters! I loved "Hellboy" too!

Ron Perlman in that B&B make-up was actually beautiful! I was in love with him at the time. lol! I thought it was the most romantic show. I loved how they talked in whispers at times and yes his voice was amazing. I was really sad how they ended it. Oh well.

We're going to Jacksonville, FL. Sunday as you know. I am very nervous about getting everything done before we go and I am not sleeping well at all. It has been hell every night! I was asleep 3 and 1/2 hours last night and woke-up under the covers with burning hot itching welts on my legs and arms. I don't have any Predniszone anymore and I think the antihistimine they gave me actually made me worse last night. It is a stronger perscription drug, but I became allergic to it and to the Zantac too. The Zantac caused my eye to start swelling after about 2 days on it. This is ridiculious! I am only on Ativan which I have been trying to reduce. It is so hard to stop taking it. Maybe it is why the welts won't quit + my worrying about them and the hot covers at night. I try to sleep with just a sheet and start shaking and even then I feel like something is biting my legs, feet, and arms in the night. I also sleep without underwear because of that pain and it is still unconfortable sleeping on my right side, which is the way I have always liked to sleep. I'm miserable and I dread going to bed now, but I get so tired. I feel like I am cursed or being punished. I need to have faith like Michael told me. I just keep praying and hoping that someday God will help me get well and this will all just seem like a bad dream. The Mayo Clinic is my only hope right now and I dread the long drive and having to possibly stay over a week. They said they wouldn't know until they saw me. I want to cry. This is not exactly a vacation and I will miss Alex, my Mom & Dad. I will worry about out cats even though I know Michael's brother Mark will take care of them. We haven't asked him yet, but he always does.

Just thought I update you on that stuff in case I am not up to making a post on my LJ before we leave on Sunday. It is so hard to talk about this stuff. It depresses me and I am sure everyone else too. Much rather talk about TW and Myfanwy. lol!...or any other fun thing. :)

Thanks!
love Deb.

You know I'll be thinking of you and I'll be there with you in spirit all the way *Hugs carefully* It won't be fun, I know, but it's going to be worth it. Your immune system has gone into overdrive and needs to be calmed down and thr clinic is the place that can do that. Rest when you can, try not to stress yourself by worrying about things you can't do anything about, you have the strength you need to get through this and you're not alone. It's going to work out, I believe that. Take care, I'm praying and hoping, and sending all the positive energy I can your way. Love you loads, J xxxx
