Title: It’s Not Unusual – For Torchwood
Author:
badly_knitted
Characters: Ianto, Rhys
Rating: PG
Written For: biancaruth, for leaving the 100th review on my ff.net drabble collection.
Spoilers: None at all.
Summary: Rhys finds out about the peculiar hazards of working for Torchwood.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
“Nothing to worry about,” Ianto said cheerfully.
Rhys stared at Gwen in stunned disbelief.
“Happens a lot, does it?” He sounded a bit dazed.
“This exactly? Not to my knowledge. But similar things? All the time.”
Rhys kept staring.
“Could be worse,” Ianto attempted to reassure the stricken man. “Jack was a rabbit for almost two weeks, and Owen… Well, let’s just say orange really doesn’t suit him. Gwen’s fine, just a little shorter than usual.”
“A little? She’s five inches tall!”
“Tosh will fix it. On the bright side, her clothes shrunk with her.”
Rhys sat down.
“Bloody Torchwood.”
The End

When I get around to it, I'll right the full Tale of Jack Rabbit. It's on my To Write list.
Glad you liked this one!

Date: 2013-04-12 10:56 am (UTC)I had quite the time deciding exactly WHT had happened to Gwen to cause Rhys' reaction. There are so many things I could've done to her.... Being shrunk to action figure size is probably one of the more minor afflictions, but it needed to be something simple to fit the 100 word limit so that's what I went with, but I was soooo tempted to turn her into something identifiable only by her teeth...
However, I do have some readers who sort of like Gwen, so she got off lightly.
Thank you.

I got lucky with this week's prompt, I've now written four drabbles for it, and I finally finished this one for a friend so it got posted too. Some weeks I struggle to write just one. It depends if the prompt inspires me!
Thank you =D
