Jack's Treasures
Title: Jack's Treasures
Pairing/Rating/Warning: none, rated G
Word Count: 100
Summary: Trinkets or treasures, they are what Jack holds dear
The old cigar box sits open on the desk, displaying its treasures for the world. Inside there’s a key, kept shiny and bright despite its obvious age. A photo of two young lovers, frozen forever in each other’s gaze. A single cufflink, dull and scratched. Several newspaper articles, brittle and faded. And a small ashtray, made out of clay by tiny hands, fingerprints still noticeable on the sides.
Ianto has seen the box, and its contents, many times; whether Jack leaves it out by accident or design he doesn’t know. But he knows he’ll never have the courage to ask.

The more I think about this question, the more it intrigues me.
...Do you mean "The Sound of Drums"? I'm breaking my brain trying to think what SOTD might be and I can't remember the keychain keys!
there's also that pesky 100 word limit
Which is always either not nearly enough or (less often) way too much.

Lately I've been unable to write anything but drabbles. Somehow the limit of 100 words gives me enough of a boxed in feeling I can dredge up a story...
no subject
I find drabbles are really good when I don't have much time to write, and can do them and post them and feel as if I've written something when I don't have time or energy to work on a larger story.

Yes, and that's fun. You can explore bits of characterization, and sometimes one idea leads to another.
I still have no idea how my most recent fic morphed into nearly 12,000 words!
They do that sometimes, and when they do, there's no stopping the momentum. I look forward to it!
