Characters/Pairings: Sergeant Benton, The Doctor (3rd), The Master (Delgado)

Title: Wishing on a Peppermint Star
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] primsong
Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 4954 words
Creator's Summary: A little Christmastide tale for Three, Jo, Benton and Yates. A small, lost alien is somewhere amid the holiday shoppers, but we mustn't let that stop the children from seeing Santa. Ho ho!
Characters/Pairings: Third Doctor, Jo Grant, John Benton, Mike Yates
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It involves the Doctor playing Father Christmas, which goes exactly as you'd expect. And UNIT playing various other people involved with a Santa's grotto, to amusing effect. And it features a cute alien.

Title: Overheard at the UNIT Christmas party, 2009 (probably)
Creator: sinyjenni (usuallyhats)
Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 592 words
Creator's Summary: Conversations overheard at the UNIT Christmas party.
Characters/Pairings: Sarah Jane Smith, Liz Shaw, Cliff Jones, Martha Jones, Harry Sullivan, Jo Grant, sergeant Benton, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's a fun little fic set in the future where we hear snippets of conversations between people who (used to) work for UNIT. The snippets are just enough to give you an idea of what they're getting up to and show you how those who haven't met on screen would get on.

Title: Red Tape
Creator: Lydia Hunter
Rating: All Ages
Word Count/Length/Size: 330 words
Creator's Summary: Ever wondered about the red tape and paperwork hassle involved when the Doctor became an official part of UNIT?
Characters/Pairings: Third Doctor, Benton
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's short and amusing and makes me laugh at the end. The Doctor's answers are typical of him and the paperwork isn't even that complicated!

I'd been planning to rec this for the letter "U" anyway - UNIT counts as a character, doesn't it? - and now it also fits the monthly theme, because it has quite a bit of the Brig in it!

Title: The Annual UNIT Picnic
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] primsong
Rating: gen
Word Count/Length/Size: 3515 words
Creator's Summary: The Brigadier and UNIT enjoy their annual summer picnic in spite of the Doctor, who is of course not really responsible for what happens. Third Doctor and Jo Grant, also featuring Yates and Benton.
Characters/Pairings: Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, Mike Yates, John Benton, Third Doctor, Jo Grant, lots of unnamed UNIT soldiers
Warnings/Notes: none

Reasons for reccing: This is completely hilarious. The annual UNIT picnic does not go as planned (or maybe it does?) and the fact that the Doctor "improved" the provisions ends up being the least of the Brig's problems. The story is well written and paints a lot of very funny images that made me laugh out loud, which is much appreciated these days.

Title: Like Nobody's Watching
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] Andraste
Rating: Teen
Word Count/Length/Size: 5568 words
Creator's Summary: The Doctor has been dancing for a long time.
Characters/Pairings: First Doctor, Barabara Wright/Ian Chesterton, Jamie McCrimmon, Polly Wright, Ben Jackson, Second Doctor, John Benton, Third Doctor, Romana I, Fourth Doctor, Tegan Jovanka, Vislor Turlough, Fifth Doctor, Evelyn Smythe, Sixth Doctor, Melanie Bush, Seventh Doctor, C'Rizz, Eighth Doctor, Rose Tyler, Jack Harkness, Ninth Doctor, Tenth Doctor
Warnings/Notes: None.

Reasons for reccing: Beautiful, thoughtful, and heart-warming multi-era fic in which the Doctor dances with his companions across all his incarnations (up to the point when this was written). It's a light and fun read, but explores various relationships with depth, accuracy and heart, and everything comes together in deftly circular way at the end.

 Title:  It's For You!
Creator: Lissy Strata
Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 1773 words
Creator's Summary: It doesn’t matter how big and bad you are. When a toddler hands you a toy phone, you answer it.
Characters/Pairings: Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, Jo Grant, Sergeant Benton, The Doctor (3rd), The Master (Delgado)
 
Reasons for reccing: Well since the monthly themes are Third Doctor and Fluff,  this seemed fitting.  This story is a lot of fun. Three, Jo, and co. interacting with a child in a situation that feels like something from the UNIT era.  And, without giving anything away, there's a positively excellent moment involving the Master that made me smile.

And the other...

Title: Moving Forward
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] settiai
Rating: Teen
Word Count/Length/Size: 5020 words
Creator's Summary: Sometimes all a person can do is move forward and hope for the best.
Characters/Pairings: Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart/Liz Shaw, Sergeant Benton, Third Doctor.
Warnings/Notes: None.

Reasons for reccing: I love Brig/Liz as a pairing and it was really hard to narrow this down to one fic for the challenge, but this piece is gorgeously written with vivid voices, and simultaneously showcases how this ship works so well and why it might well never work at all in a way that feels very true to both Liz and the Brigadier.
