ROTFL! Oh, gawd, this is utterly delightful! I am so glad you decided to do this prompt! And for whoever suggested Jo Grant for it, that was a stroke of brilliance. :)

[lost_spook]

Thank yoU! And how could I not do that prompt? john_elliott came up with it. I can think of other characters who might have also been amusing, but Jo is just wonderful for it. :-)

Nice one. :) I think the worrying thing is that I can actually imagine Jo doing all of the above - I didn't fully realise it was AU until the Master-killing bit. ;D Three's forty-seven and a half minute rant at the Brig made me laugh too. And equally, I can imagine the Brig taking this pragmatic sort of attitude - their little secret, indeed...

[lost_spook]

:lol: No, definitely AU in every respect... I really hope.

Thank you. Glad you liked it. And the Brigadier is always pragmatic! :-)

[jjpor]

You hope... ;)

That's him. Unflappable. Good in a crisis. That sort of thing.

[ravenskyewalker]

Agreed -- AU it may well be, except I can actually imagine Jo deep undercover as an awkward klutz, only pretending to be harmless so she can strike in the ways this story indicates. ;-)

I have the dorkiest smile on my face. Awesome.

[lost_spook]

Aw, so glad you liked it! :-)

[femme_slash_fan]

Loved it... might actually go do a pimp-post on my LJ and see if I can't get it seen by more people...

also, this would be so amazing to link on the halfamoon page...

IDK. I'm a dorky fangirl.

Mwahahahahaha, that's fabulous :)

[lost_spook]

Thanks! The prompt just... had to be done once I got it, really. :-)

[persiflage_1]

I am laughing so hard right now!

Especially at this line:
The Brigadier was sorely tempted to say, aha, hoist by his own petard, then, but managed not to by a superhuman effort of will.

[lost_spook]

Heh, thank you! So glad you enjoyed it! :-D

[femme_slash_fan]

Sorry to barge in but... I love your icon!

[persiflage_1]

Barge away!

Thanks. It's by bodyline
