Spoilers: None
Summary: Chaos reigns in the Hub.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: This was tough!
When Ianto went out to pick up supplies, all was quiet in the Hub. He returned an hour later to complete chaos.
Jack was sitting at Tosh’s workstation, tapping frantically at her computer while prodding a piece of alien tech. Owen was scowling at Gwen’s phone, muttering under his breath. Tosh was stomping around the autopsy bay, swearing and kicking things, and Gwen was jumping up and down, saying, “Look at me! I’m Gwen! Wow, these babies really bounce!”
Ianto looked at Gwen. “Jack?”
Gwen beamed at him. “Yep!”
Ianto closed his eyes and sighed heavily. It must be Friday!
The End

Date: 2012-10-16 05:16 pm (UTC)I had the worst trouble trying to work out who was in whose body, I kept ending up with two people in Gwen or Owen in two different people - I thought my head might explode trying to get everyone sorted!

Date: 2012-10-16 05:24 pm (UTC)They got themselves into that mess, they can get themselves out again!
I just realised I put the girls in the guys' bodies and vice versa. It would have been so much easier for me to work out who was in whom if I'd just thought of that in the first place!

Date: 2012-10-16 05:57 pm (UTC)Ianto, I think, just told Jack to call him when he was back in his own body, then went to the pub for a stiff drink before spending the evening at his sister's where at least the only people behaving childishly were children!

Date: 2012-10-17 04:59 pm (UTC)My second drabble is a mere two-person swap - far easier to do. I'm working on a couple more to conclude it so it's a three parter in drabbles, but the third part I'm not too happy with so I might forget about that. It still means I have two more to post for this challenge!

Thank you!

I laughed so hard after reading this I almost fell off my chair. Great job.

Date: 2012-10-16 07:41 pm (UTC)In my head, Ianto has already walked out and left them to it. They messed up, they can sort themselves out, Ianto's washed his hands of them. He told Jack, "Call me when you're back in your own body."
Tosh will figure it out and fix things though. Then everyone can have their own body back.

Date: 2012-10-16 07:48 pm (UTC)I love how everyone is acting just like normal despite being in the wrong bodies. Apart from Jack who as their leader should be the sensible one. But he can be so immature at times! And I love how ianto knew instantly that it was Jack in Gwen's body!

Date: 2012-10-16 10:28 pm (UTC)Body swap fic is hard! I'm glad this only hsd to be 100 words, because I just know I would have got confused about who was in whose body. I tried to make it obvious by their actions, because of the limited word count. Jack's behaviour was what sparked this one though, it was just impossible to resist!
Thank you!

Date: 2012-10-16 08:02 pm (UTC)I can see Jack doing just this: getting swapped into Gwen, and then being amazed at how bouncy her breasts are.
Poor Ianto...

Date: 2012-10-16 10:34 pm (UTC)I didn't like the prompt at first - there have been so many Torchwood body-swap fics I was sure I wouldn't be able to come up with anything new. This probably isn't new, but the idea of how Jack would behave in Gwen's body hit me and it was just too much to resist. And amazingly, I managed a second one which I think might be a little bit different. I'll post that on Friday ;)

Date: 2012-10-16 10:39 pm (UTC)It was hard to sort out who was in which body though, I kept confusing myself and ending up with two people in Gwen's body and Owen in two different bodies, I thought I'd never work it out. Switching four people around is harder than you'd think, I'm just glad I decided to have Ianto out of the way when it happened!

Date: 2012-10-17 10:01 am (UTC)Thank you. Ianto has sense, he can think of much better places to be while the others sort themselves out, so he'll just leave them to it. Maybe he'll go and sample some new coffee blends or treat himself to a new suit - at Jack's exspense. He deserves it for the mental trauma Jack just inflicted on him.

really marvellous
Date: 2012-10-19 04:52 pm (UTC)Thanks!
I'm dead of Laugh
LOL
you have very successful: we know immediately who is who!
Jack in Gwen....LOL
Poor Ianto, he will have lot of work.
Re: really marvellous
Date: 2012-10-19 05:15 pm (UTC)I have a feeling Ianto will just walk straight back out again and leave them to sort themselves out! Tosh is already investigating what caused the problem, I'm sure she'll fix it.
Re: really marvellous
Date: 2012-10-19 05:50 pm (UTC)It is better that Ianto did not stop there.
