I was inspired by a gifset of Martha and Jack 

Christmas Wish –  Jack Harkness shows up at Martha and Mickey’s house for Christmas.

teaser below the cut

Martha and Mickey never know when he’s going to show up, but he almost always looks banged up . Not physically of course, since he heals so fast, but there’s something in his eyes and in the way he moves that aches. He’s a part of their family of course and always welcome, and the kids know him as that odd Uncle that shows up every now and again.

It’s snowy for once, on this cold December day. Mickey’s home with the kids, Martha is off helping quell something minor before it becomes major, but she’s promised to be home by the holiday. Jack doesn’t feel the cold as he comes up the walk to the non-descript brick house with a tricycle falling off one end of the porch.

Rita opens the door before Jack can knock. She’s eight now and grins and hugs his waist, tugging him inside. Standing in the foyer, Jack hugs her back, only to feel another kid climbing under the back of his coat. He turns and picks up five-year old Sam, hugging him tightly too, as if reminding himself of the good things that happen. Mickey comes out holding Jackie, their youngest. She sucks her thumb and watches Jack.

“Guess she doesn’t remember me,” says Jack with a smile that doesn’t quite reach his eyes.

“This is Uncle Jack,” says Rita to her sister.

“What’s this?” asks Sam, holding a small item he’d liberated from Jack’s pocket.

“Nothing.” Jack takes it back, shaking his head at the boy.

Mickey chuckles. “Yeah, you’ve got to watch your pockets around him. Come on in, I’ve got hot chocolate.”

Johnlock, “Oh Dear, Do You Need Help??” :3

“Oh dear, do you need help?” John couldn’t help the smirk in his voice.

“This is not funny, John.” Sherlock tried to turn again in the tight space.

“Oh no, you’re the one with the short friend. If you’re a bit stuck with your long legs and arms, that’s not my problem. Maybe I should call Greg, he’d love to get video of this.”

“Don’t you dare,” Sherlock hissed, trying to leverage himself out.

John let him stew a few minutes before finally taking pity on him and helping him out of the space.“No more climbing through crawlspaces,” said John.

“Wouldn’t think of it,” grumbled Sherlock

Hey! Could I pretty pretty princess please request “Thankfully, it’s not my job to help you.” with Sam x Jack? xoxo

“I know you’ve got the tech for this.” Sam was leaning on the counter.

On the other side the man in the vintage coat was standing with his arms crossed. It had taken a lot of leg work for Sam to track this man down.

“Thankfully, it’s not my job to help you. Whatever tech I do or do not have access to isn’t for amateurs.”

“We’re not amateurs,” growled Sam.

“Right, Hunters. You don’t even know what you’re dealing with, think it’s all demons and ghosts and things.”

Sam knew he’d come at him the wrong way. And now he couldn’t take it back. Taking a breath he tried to make himself look smaller. “Look, let’s talk about this.” He offered his hand. “Sam Winchester.”

“Captain Jack Harkness.” He had a firm grip, and Sam found himself smiling shyly despite the disagreement.

Jack looked him over. “Maybe we can talk about this over drinks?”

“Yeah, sure.” Sam was suddenly a lot more hopeful about the evening.

“He’s dead, let’s move on.” Sam/Gabriel (yes I’m horrible)

Gabriel grabbed Sam’s arm. “He’s dead, let’s move on.”

Sam tried to pull away, only to find that he might as well try to budge a planet.

“We promised we’d help him.”

“And we tried, Kiddo. We can’t help him now.”

Sam turned his head at the note of resignation in Gabriel’s voice. The angel met his eyes.

“We can still solve this case.” Sam’s voice was as steely as Gabriel’s grip.

After another moment of studying his eyes, Gabriel gave a short nod. “Okay.”

Sam smiled at him and this time Gabriel let go of his arm.
