Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: It’s amazing how much chaos can be caused by one tiny mishap…
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Episode title is (obviously) Whoops. (I just had to use that one).
A/N2: Apologies for the tense this one’s written in, it refused to be written any other way!
One quiet day at Torchwood, Ianto’s carrying a tray of coffee for the team’s afternoon caffeine fix, when he trips over Nosy.
Nosy squeaks and shoots forward, knocking Gwen off balance, sending her stumbling backwards. Tripping over her own feet, she lands in Tosh’s lap, her elbow hitting the computer keyboard and turning Tosh’s programming into gibberish.
Meanwhile, five mugs of coffee arc through the air, spraying their scalding contents over Jack, who staggers backwards, hits the railing above the autopsy bay and tumbles over, landing on Owen and the corpse he’s dissecting.
Ianto regards the chaos, wide eyed.
“Whoops.”

I'm looking forward to checking out the ones we can use for the next week - haven't looked yet because a little corner of my mind tells me it would be cheating, lol!

Date: 2013-07-01 09:40 pm (UTC)Sometimes one little thing sets off an unexpected chain of events and there's really not much you can say. Poor Ianto may have to put himself on decaf after that.
Thank you!

Date: 2013-07-01 09:44 pm (UTC)Thank you! The title I used as my prompt (Whoops) just seemed tailor made for something on the cracky side - I needed to write something silly after several serious drabbles! Glad it tickled your funny bone!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Date: 2013-07-07 11:31 am (UTC)Glad to see you found a prompt to fit in the Nosy verse :-)
And I like the tense, it gives it a sense of momentum. As soon as Ianto trips over Nosy there is nothing that can be done to stop the ensuing chaos. Whoops indeed!
