Drabble: Memento Mori

Title: Memento Mori
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Ianto, mentions Jack.
Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 448: Frame(d) at tw100.
Spoilers: Not exactly. Set after my fic ‘Ghost of a Chance’.
Summary: It’s a strange thing to have on display, but it signifies something important for Ianto.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.





Was it kind of a ghoulish thing to have? Ianto wondered as he looked at the framed certificate. He shrugged. For a normal person it probably would be, but then again, he wasn’t exactly normal. Besides, no normal person would be in a position to frame their own anyway.


He wasn’t even sure why he’d wanted his death certificate in the first place, but Jack hadn’t questioned his request, managing to get hold of the original for him, and even getting it tastefully framed.


To Ianto it commemorated the end of one life and the beginning of his new one.



The End

Yeah not something Id want on my wall but I understand why he does.

Great drabble

It marks a turning point in his existence, rather than an end.

Thank you!

An important point in Ianto's life.He wants proof of what he came from, where he is now, and what he has to look forward to.

Precisely, and it's a reminder of how much has changed for him, as well as to not take anything for granted.

Thank you!

Yeah, that's more than a little creepy. I'm not sure how Jack really feels about having that there, despite the outcome.

But Jack is willing to let Ianto have that memento. That's love!

Thank you!
