The Torchwood Drabble Files by badly_knitted
Summary: A collection of drabbles, mostly based on the weekly prompts at tw100. Mostly Jack/Ianto as that's what I write, but no doubt other Torchwood characters will pop in from time to time. All genres are possible, but expect mainly humour and fluff, because that's usually what comes out when I write. All are 100 words exactly in Word, but apparently not here!

Chapter 1110: Not Our Problem
Author's Notes: My first drabble for Challenge 428: London at tw100.
Summary: Jack and Ianto watch TV at Christmas.
It’s Christmas Day. Slouched on the comfy sofa in Ianto’s flat, he and Jack are too stuffed from dinner to even contemplate moving. Jack picks up the remote and flicks the TV on for the BBC news, followed by the Queen’s speech, but closes his eyes and yawns, paying no attention to what’s on the screen.
“Huh,” says Ianto. “London’s being invaded by aliens again.”
“Of course it is; it’s Christmas,” Jack replies. “Not our problem though. The Doctor and UNIT can handle it.”
“You know the best thing about Christmas?”
“Presents?”
“No. It’s not having to save the world.”
The End
