Spoilers: To The Last Man
Summary: Owen is being less than tactful, so Tosh sets him straight.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Title used is (obviously) The Frozen Turkey Man.
“It’s that day again,” Owen announced breezily, striding into the Hub. “Time to defrost Frozen Turkey guy. How time flies. Seems like we stuffed him back in the freezer only yesterday.”
Tosh was appalled. “He has a name, Owen; Tommy Brockless. You could at least try to show him some respect.”
Owen raised his hands in mock surrender. “Sorry, Tosh, just trying to inject some humour into the situation.”
“Well don’t. Tommy deserves more than cheap jokes. He only gets to live one day a year, it’s up to us to make that day worth living.”
Owen sobered.
“Yeah, okay.”
The End

Date: 2013-06-28 02:03 pm (UTC)At the end, I was going to have Owen agreeing with Tosh, "You're right" or something, but that didn't sound like Owen so I went with something a bit more in character in the end, but the rest of it came together very quickly.

I knew when I spotted this title that I wanted to write about Tommy - it seemed tailor-made and it's been a while since I managed an episode-based drabble.
Tomorrow it's back to the light-hearted and silly.
