Drabble: Everyone Has Them

Title: Everyone Has Them

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Jack, Gwen, Ianto, Tosh, Owen

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 282 – Parents at tw100

Spoilers: Probably most of Torchwood.

Summary: Everyone has them, but all are different…

Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.

Parents. Everyone has them.

Gwen’s are loving, caring, devoted to their only child.

Jack’s are long gone, yet at the same time haven’t even been born yet. As much a paradox as he is.

Tosh seldom gets to see hers; part of the deal made by Jack in order to free her from the UNIT prison.

Ianto’s are dead. A father too demanding and a mother too weak to shield him from his father’s temper.

As for Owen, he doesn’t even remember his father, and wishes he could forget the look on his mother’s face the day he turned sixteen…

The End

So do I, but this one demanded to be written for the prompt. It made me feel sad writing it.

Don't worry, there will be lots more from Nosy, the butterfly and hopefully Bob soon.

Nice, if very poignant, snapshot of the Team's past. Not to many happy family stories there, are there?!?

No, it seems most of Torchwood bear emotional scars from their pasts. Their lives haven't been easy. Except for Gwen.

Thank you.
