A/N: For the prompt ‘Variations on a Theme of Father's Day’, one of the prompts I didn’t get around to using for tw100’s challenge 288 last year. I’ve dug them out again to supplement the prompts I got from my f-list, just because there are still loads I wanted to use.
Father’s Day means different things to different people.
Gwen took the day off to visit her parents. It was always a special day for her; she loved her dad and knew he adored her.
Tosh made time to phone her father, wishing him a happy day.
Owen ignored the whole thing. He’d never known his father anyway.
For Ianto, it was a day of conflicting emotions. As a small child, his dad had been his hero, but as he’d grown older, their relationship had been soured by alcohol-fuelled bitterness.
And Jack? He thought of his daughter and felt only regret.
The End
