tw100
Spoilers: Exit Wounds. (Sorry).
Summary: In the aftermath of Exit Wounds, Jack roams the Hub late at night.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Episode title = drabble title. It’s just easier that way. Sorry this one’s so sad.
All was dark and silent; Gwen had long since gone home and Ianto was sleeping fitfully in Jack’s bunk.
Jack couldn’t sleep; the events of the past 24 hours – or was it two thousand years? – whirling through his mind in an endless
loop.
Pausing by Tosh’s workstation, he ran fingertips over her keyboard. The thought flashed into his mind: She’d never use it again.
Finally stepping into the autopsy bay, once Owen’s domain, he stopped. Ianto had cleaned, scrubbing until his hands were raw, but in his mind Jack could still see blood.
And empty places where friends should be.
The End
I'm still mostly in denial over Exit Wounds, as well as CoE, but this one just had to be written. I promise something more light-hearted for tomorrow!
Thank you.
I prefer not to inflict sadness on others, but I saw the title and my brain instantly went to Exit Wounds =(
Thank you.
Sorry, I try not to write sad stuff but it sometimes sneaks up on me. I have something more cheerful to post tomorrow.
Thank you.
I have managed my life through characters and their stories.
Thank you for this timely one echoing the sound of my heartache.
Thank you.
I prefer to write happy things and to ignore Exit Wounds, but sometimes the prompts take me to sadder places. This one was very emotional to write.
Too sad :-(
Sorry *hugs* It just insisted on being written =(
Well done.
I made myself so sad with this one I had to write something silly after.
