Author's Note: I was going through my Livejournal account tonight and found this story, which I wrote three years ago and never posted here.

From the personnel files of Dr. Martha Jones
EYES ONLY: Brigadier Winifred Bambera, Commander, UNIT Forces U.K.
My dear Brigadier Bambera,
I'm writing to recommend Dr. Martha Jones for a UNIT staff position. Martha is a recent medical school graduate, but her unofficial internship is perfect for your needs: She traveled with me.
Martha is brilliant and brave and has saved my life more than once. She's stood up to witches, Daleks, a giant scorpion thing, a renegade Time Lord—and even to me.
Snap her up before Torchwood does. I know Jack Harkness only too well, and I can imagine the kinds of things he and his team get up to there in Cardiff, even when he keeps his clothes on! (Yes, everything you've heard is true. In fact, you haven't heard the half of it.)
I don't want Martha involved in that. Her mother would kill me.
And now I'm sure you're laughing, but it's not a joke. I've learnt that the human mother is the most dangerous creature in the universe. Francine Jones could teach you a few things about hand-to-hand combat! You don't want to be responsible for me regenerating again, do you?
I would trust Martha with the fate of the world. In fact, I have trusted her with it.
Call her. You won't be sorry.
Best regards,
The Doctor
Former Scientific Advisor to UNIT
P.S. You told me to put it in writing, and I hope this will do. You humans and your paperwork!
