Title: A Weevilly Inconvenience
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Ianto, Jack, Owen
Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 256 – Freaky Friday at 
tw100
Spoilers: None
Summary: There’s a slight Weevil-related problem.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
Owen skulked up from the vaults, shoulders hunched and arms hanging at his sides. He was walking oddly, almost shuffling with his knees bent.
Ianto watched him curiously. Something wasn’t right.
“Owen?”
Owen jerked around, snarled and backed away.
That was… odd.
“Jack? I think we have a problem.”
“What is it now?”
“You know Owen’s been running tests on Janet using that new piece of alien medical tech…”
“I vaguely recall something about that, yes.”
“I think he may have accidentally switched bodies with her.”
“Our medic’s a weevil?”
“Yeah, and I don’t think she’s very happy about it!”
The End
The thing is, how does Owen feel about it? He's got this weird affinity for and understanding of them--it might be like coming home! At least for a little while.
Great way to set the scene. :)
Thank you, glad you liked it! When I got the Owen/Janet idea it felt like Christmas - it's a body swap I hadn't seen before and there's so much fun to be had! I think I might have got a bit carried away! I've tried to make all three drabbles self-contained, so they each work on their own - hope I've succeeded! They were a blast to write =D

You're on fire with drabbley goodness :-)
I was going to ask if I could write a sequel but I'll wait and see what you come up with instead! :-)
I already have 2 more written, hopefully posting tomorrow and Sat/Sun.
What I haven't done is one from Janet's POV. Want to give that a try? I was thinking of doing one, but I've done 4 already for this prompt and now I have a migraine on top of everything else. I just don't feel like writing more at the moment.
Thank you, I've really had fun with this pasrticular body swap - I have 2 more to follow!
looking forward to reading the others!
*sending a Ianto!Nurse to make you feel better* :)
Owen, I think, has spent too much time around Weevils. They snarl, he snarls... It takes a keen eye to tell the difference, lol! Good thing Ianto noticed, I'm sure no one else would have paid any attention until 'Owen' bit them!
Thank you =)
That was funny! I have been reading some of your drabbles. You write really well. There was one I really loved and I need to find it and comment on it.
Sorry I have not written in years! lol! Life is hard and I hate whining to you all the time.
Anyway, I'm alive and have some good news in a way. We think I have autoimmune hives from the antibody test the doctor got back. He sent us the results and a letter explaining it. That is why loads of antihistimines are only helping a little, but a steroid shot wipes the hives out for about a week. It is surpressing my over active immune system. Trying to get in to see a Rheumatologist, they are being a pain about it, I don't know why?! I may need imunosuppressing drugs, not sure, really can't wait to see the doctor. They better not make me suffer until Feb. They are booked up and steroids are very bad if used long term so I haven't been back to get another shot yet and I am breaking out even on all the antihistimines. They are not real bad out of control and I am not swelling up, but I am unconfortable alot, itching and sleeping is difficult because of it too.
I am on Navane for my Bipolar too. The doctor wrote in his report to us that he is quite sure it was not the drugs making me swell ad break out rather the hives and swelling were flairing up "while" I was on a drug/s. We bought all those meds and some worked and I stopped them because of this. Crazy! But I am relieved too. The only thing I can't take I guess would be Advil, aspirins, NSAIDS, I read they trigger hives. How funny that the medicine I thought was least likely to be a problem is the only one I can't take, more than likely.
More later, have to help Alex with his homework. Ignore my misspellings, no time to do a check.
love ya!
Deb. :)

Really hope you get to see the Rheumatologist soon though, it sucks that it's taking so long!
Glad you're liking the drabbles - got a couple more to post over the next couple of days, drabbling is fun and addictive!
*hugs tight* Good luck with everything, sis! ♥
Thank you, it's a disturbing thought but it had to be written, lol! I feel sorry for Janet....
Thank you =)
poor Janet
For Owen, it does not change much;-)
Poor Janet, Owen's body is so strange for her. Ianto will sort things out, I'm sure.
Thank you =)
