Fic Rec: Torchwood: Four Drabbles by [livejournal.com profile] spoggly

Spoilers: "Everything Changes," "Cyberwoman," "Greeks Bearing Gifts," "They Keep Killing Suzie," "The Last Of The Time Lords" from New Who

It's always hard to think of things to say about drabbles that sell the story but don't give anything away. 100 words doesn't leave a lot you can summarize or excerpt without telling you the entire drabble. I guess that gets easier when there are four of them?

In Four Drabbles, [livejournal.com profile] spoggly brushes, but beautifully, on the fucked-up relationships in the Torchwood team. Each one touches on a nuance and fleshes it out, and oh, but you hurt for them in the end.

Sure, better to beg forgiveness than ask permission, but why not just do what needed to be done and deal with the consequences later? So sometimes this approach left much to be desired (Suzie falling and Ianto on his knees then again on his knees), but waiting around for people to get over the things he did to them had lost its appeal.
