calufraxStory: Family Tree
Author: MinervaFan
Rating: All Ages
Word Count: 4750
Author's Summary: The Smith-Jackson-Langer-Townsend-Redfern Family Christmas will now commence.
Characters/Pairings: Alan Jackson, Chrissie Jackson, Maria Jackson, Clyde Langer, Natalie Redfern, Sarah Jane Smith, Joshua Townsend.
Warnings: Spoilers for all the Sarah Jane Smith audios.
Recced because: MinervaFan can always be relied on for a good story, and this is no exception: the warmth and affection between the characters practically springs off the page. The focus of this story is family in all its forms - biological, adopted, chosen, and everything in between - and the emotions involved are nuanced and complex, from Sarah Jane's insecurity about getting Luke's first Christmas just right, to a snapshot of Alan and Chrissie's improving relationship. All in all, a perfect Christmas fic.
"I'm going to destroy Christmas. Even the Nazis couldn't destroy Christmas. The Sycorax couldn't destroy Christmas. But Sarah Jane Smith is going to destroy Christmas."
Nat shook her head. "You know, I never knew you had Drama Queen tendencies. You are so much more multi-dimensional than I ever gave you credit for."
"Oh, do be quiet and let me whinge in peace."
