summary: They're easy to care for, with just three rules to remember.



"Happy Christmas, Rona!" Jack beamed at the newest member of Torchwood, handing her a carefully wrapped box.

Rona narrowed her eyes. "Are those air holes?" The box bounced, and she looked up, alarmed. "You gave me something alive?"

"Open it!" He gestured impatiently.

"It had better be a kitten," she grumbled as she cut the tape and lifted the top.

"Better than a kitten," Jack assured her. "You'll love it."

Once the lid was off, Rona grinned. "So cute!"

It cooed.

"It's adorable. But what is it?"

"A mogwai. They're easy to care for, with just three rules to remember."

This is cute, Rona ending up at Torchwood, and Torchwood having a Moguai, love it!

Why can't more people write Moguais into their fics? Why haven't there been more Torchwood Gremlins crossovers? Buffy/Gremlins?

A Gremlins cross with either Buffy or Torchwood does seem like a given, doesn't it? Mischievous little monsters vs. people who fight monsters...

Someone should write that. ;-)

I did notice as I was adding tags to this entry that there's at least one other Gizmo-as-gift drabble here.

I can see just about any fandom being crossed with Gremlins and working nicely, Buffy, Torchwood, Stargate, Sanctuary, Star Trek, Classic Who, New Who, Supernatural.

Hmm, now considering doing a Gremlins crossover with all of them.

Too cute. Jack so should know better...it's probably some weird test so he can see her under pressure.
