Title: Clinical Correlation Recommended
Summary: What better way to catch an alien shapeshifter targeting small, innocent children than to masquerade as one of its potential victims? It all sounded very good on paper, but as Clara should have learnt by now Murphy’s law usually applies where the Doctor’s plans are concerned.

Author’s note: Merry Christmas to my Whouffaldi Secret Santa ( @whouffaldiss) recipient @thatexactleaf! This story isn’t particularly festive-themed (or even Whouffaldi-themed in the romantic sense), but it does feature a fun adventure involving the Doctor and Clara. I’ve enjoyed writing this – hope you enjoy reading it!

“Was this really the best plan you could come up with?” Clara shifted the nappy bag so that the strap sat more comfortably against her shoulder. “It seems slightly convoluted, even by your standards.”
The Doctor pulled the dummy out of his mouth so he could answer her. “Criminal alien shapeshifter hiding out in a facility with literally a cast of thousands, preying on the life force of the most vulnerable of its inmates? The lives of innocent babes and the hearts of their parents at stake? What would you have me do, Clara? I’m open to suggestions by the way, so feel free to chime in.”
OMG, this is so cute. Thank you so much! You are lovely!!!
