Story: Overheard at the UNIT Christmas party, 2009 (probably)
Author: shinyjenni
Rating: All Ages
Word Count: 593
Author's Summary: Conversations overheard at the UNIT Christmas party.
Characters/Pairings: Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, Cliff Jones, Harry Sullivan, Jo Grant, Liz Shaw, Martha Jones, Sarah Jane Smith, Sergeant Benton, UNIT
Warnings: None

Recced because: It's short and funny. The conversations are interesting, as the combinations of participants.

"You know, I thought about not coming this year," confessed Sarah.

"I'm glad you changed your mind," said Alastair, passing her another glass of mulled wine.

"So am I. It's nice to get away from all the chaos at home. Preparing for Christmas hasn't got any easier with practice!"

Alastair laughed. "At least you have Luke to help you out."

"Yes - but unfortunately his idea of helping is to make mathematically precise timetables for me that I haven't a hope of sticking to. I've tried to hint that washing up every now and then would be more use, but to no avail."

I've really enjoyed all your recs! Quite a few I had read before (and commented elsewhere if not there) but they were a fun mix. Thanks! :-)
usuallyhats: close up of Jo Grant from Doctor Who; text reads "I don't know what I've been worrying about." (jo is cheerful (and sarcastic))
