[felis]

For several categories of the seasonal challenge, including slash and a rare character/pairing.

Title: God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen
Creator: topaz_eyes
Rating: mature
Word Count/Length/Size: 1563 words
Creator's Summary: It was time to accompany the Doctor back to his TARDIS.
Characters/Pairings: Tenth Doctor/Jackson Lake
Warnings/Notes: none

Reasons for reccing: A lovely episode tag for "The Next Doctor". I always loved the chemistry between Jackson and Ten, and that Jackson manages to change the Doctor's mind when it comes to spending christmas with them at the end. This is what happens when he accompanies him back to the TARDIS a second time. Written from Jackson's POV, the story is gentle and slightly bittersweet, with this comforting moment of warmth and connection between them that eases the weight of their losses for a bit.

And given the nature of Jackson Lake's character, feel free to count it for the monthly theme as well should you wish to!
