Prompts!
I am clearly in some sort of pre-NaNo writing hyperdrive right now, and don't want to work on any of my current in progress stories just to have to drop them again come Friday night. Also, as I breezed past my profile today I noticed:

Owen hits the desk in frustration.
"The systems are still blocking me out - oh, to hell with this." He grabs his belongings and strides out. "I'm done!" he yells in the vague direction of Gwen, who watches him leave with a sigh.
"We still haven't quite got that whole chain of command in place, have we?" she asks Tosh.
"I'm not sure we ever really did," she replies, smiling, then turning to the computers. "Okay, let's see. Oh!" Her keyed-in commands have taken them through to Jack's inbox. "Guess I don't have to hack in after all."
"You knew his password?" Gwen asks.
"Apparently." Tosh frowns. "He mentioned it in passing a while back."
Tosh flicks through files - there's a bunch of increasingly angry messages from UNIT that she'll let Gwen taken care of, various messages from the general public, looks like, that'll need to be sorted through and gleaned for any relevant information.
A reply from Ianto, unopened: Yes, sir, I'm just getting a round of coffee in with the others and then I'm at your disposal.
Tosh continues glancing through until a flagged message opens up.
"Gwen?"
Gwen wheels her chair over. "What've you got?"
Tosh points mutely at the screen. In the event of my demise, it's entitled.
You know what to do.
They stare at it. "Bastard," Gwen hisses, "the enigmatic bastard."
"He wasn't taken, he knew he was going to leave," says Tosh.
Gwen shuts her eyes for a moment. "God."
"What are we going to do?"
Gwen gathers herself. "Right. Right, okay, I'll tell you. We're going to keep doing our jobs - we're going to catch aliens and protect the city, keep each other safe. Also, I am going to go down to archives right now and haul Ianto out, then we are getting out for her and doing something normal for the first time in far too long, all right?"
Tosh offers her a salute at that. "Yes, ma'am."
