Drabble: Just Us
Title: Just Us
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Jack, Ianto
Rating: G
Spoilers: Nope.
Summary: Jack enjoys a day of freedom from Torchwood, with Ianto by his side.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: For the prompt ‘We Were Us’, one of the prompts I didn’t get around to using for tw100’s challenge 292: Billboard Hot 100 last year. I’ve dug them out again to supplement the prompts I got from my f-list, just because there are still loads I wanted to use. I wrote this one backwards. I knew the ending I wanted, so I started there.
A/N2: HAPPY BIRTHDAY 
katwillow
Hand in hand with Ianto, strolling along the beach, barefoot and enjoying the sunshine, I felt at peace. These were the days I lived for.
Tomorrow, we’d be back at work, protecting Cardiff from the flotsam and jetsam of the universe with no idea what we’d be facing next. It could be anything from a full-scale invasion by hostile aliens to an assortment of odd socks; the Rift was unpredictable enough that anything was possible.
But for now, we weren’t Captain Jack Harkness and Torchwood’s general support officer; we were just us, Jack and Ianto, enjoying a rare day off.
The End
Great drabble; there's a depth of feeling in here that's surprising given how short it is.
It could happen! In fact, given the writer, I'm sure it will, lol! Actually, it already has, in Getting To Nose You Part 1 if I remember correctly. The Rift has a sense of humour ;)
Awesome!
This was so sweet. :)
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!
And it would really be fun to see more of the Odd Socks... :)

Thank you!
I like to think that Jack cherishes most the times they get to be not-Torchwood.
Thank you!
