Still Waiting by Sheila Adamson (G)
Fandom: DOCTOR WHO
Pairing: gen; Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, Jo Grant, Sergeant Benton
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: A Teaspoon and an Open Mind profile
Why this must be read: There's not nearly enough UNIT fic to satisfy me, but this lovely piece does a great job of filling in some of the gaps. Learning to live without the Doctor is something particularly relevant given how the new series has portrayed departures, and here we get at that carefully and gently, through an investigation of a haunted house and an examination of what it's like to be the ones left behind, doing the paperwork, picking up the pieces, and waiting and wondering. All the voices are dead-on, especially the Brigadier's, and it's subtle and touching and funny, without ever being sentimental or cloying.
