Torchwood drabbles: End of Days
Found these forgotten drabbles in my drafts journal. They may have been the first thing I wrote, but I can't remember now. I know I was struggling on my own to figure out some missing pieces from the last few minutes of the episode.

At 3 a.m., it was clear Gwen wasn’t taking a break. Something in her eyes in the CCTV image told Ianto that she wouldn’t agree to taking shifts, so he made his way to where the camping gear was stored.
If he had unloaded this equipment himself, it would be better organized. But he had been in bad shape that night.
This felt worse.
Gwen refused the cot he took her, said she wouldn’t sleep. Ianto nodded and carried it back slowly. He could set it up for himself in Jack’s office. It was the only place that smelled right.

The mobile in Gwen’s bag had been ringing with increasing frequency. Toshiko sighed. She supposed it was up to her to take care of. It was just difficult to prepare herself to speak with a man she had only met previously as a blood-soaked corpse.
She found the last incoming call, redialed, and identified herself. The voice on the other end raised in alarm.
“No, no, she’s fine. It’s just that we’ve got… an injured officer, and she’s been asked to guard him.”
He sounded disappointed, but resigned.
She guarded you, too, when you were dead. She loves you, Rhys.
