Title: The Cell
Author: rustydog
Characters: Toshiko
Rating/warnings: PG for bleakness; spoiler for 2x12 Fragments
Notes: Written for tw100 challenge #157 Heat.


Whether it was an intimidation tactic or UNIT simply hadn't paid its utility bill, it didn't matter. There had been no heat in Tosh's cell for two days.

The worst part of moderate hypothermia was the uncontrollable shivering, but at least it distracted her from the bluish tinge of her skin.

In a small grate high in the wall, a plastic ribbon began to flutter. Tosh raised herself clumsily and lifted one arm; her fingertips just reached. After a minute, she sensed the warmth, in burning needles and pins. The pain was the best thing she had felt for weeks.

That's a great compliment, thank you! I really wanted it to be stark, I'm glad it worked.
