    People make mistakes, but they also make choices. It’s important to James, that difference. He does his best not to confuse the two.

    Summary

    (Or, how the Doctor and the Master finally stopped courting and got married, to the relief of most of the known galaxy and the confusion of the humans in attendance.)

    Some would have said that it was a little elaborate and over-the-top, even for Time Lords. But the Master would have responded that the two of them had never been like anyone else, and even if (traditionally speaking) a small continent or a minor threatening would have been quite enough for Society, the Master was just that kind of thoughtful, devoted suitor who went above and beyond.

    And besides, the Master would tell these would-be detractors, the Doctor certainly wasn’t telling him to stop.

    Now with Chinese translation here!

    Summary

    The Master breaks things in the TARDIS until the Doctor almost goes insane, then they end up in the Vivarium, and then all hell breaks loose. The Doctor is not liking any of this – and while he's at it, the dream-flashback-things really, really need to stop.

    read this ages ago and it’s still just as hilariously witty whilst still being a lovely, emotionally developed and plot-rich story!!

    reread 16/11/22: still so good love it :’D
    ***

    “I’m sure there will be a decent hotel in the town,” the Doctor said as they stepped out into brisk air of the evening. “We can stay there tonight. Let me know if you see an automated teller machine.”

    “You could just call it an ATM like everyone else.”

    “I try to spell it out in the hopes that eventually people will stop adding the redundant ‘machine’ after the acronym.”

    The Master pursed his lips. “The power of positive reinforcement never worked for me.”

    “Noticed.”

    “I favor the power of corporal punishment and demonstrative explosions.”

    “Noticed that, too.”

    “Look, an ATM machine!”

    “You are disgusting.”

    Summary

    Doctor: "Oh."
    Oh!? What the Hell does that mean? Did he miscalculate, how to salvage this... she's typing. Three dots mean she's typing. Your move, Doctor.
    Doctor: "Look, O, it's... I'm very flattered, but. It's not that I don't like you, because I do, I like you - really like you - you know that, right?"
    Bah. Sentiment. Easily manipulated weakness.
    He screenshots the message.

     

    Or: In which the Master attempts to catfish the Doctor, and gets more than he bargained for.

    current chp: 4

    Doctor: “Most other people block me two messages in. ;)”

    The Master squints at the screen. Pulls up the translation matrix he prepared in advance, studies it intently for a moment, before pulling up the keyboard again.

    Me: “LOL”

    Summary

    “It’s a teenager.” Donna whispers.

    The Doctor doesn’t answer, his mouth opens into a soundless gasp, his eyes grow huge. The hand grabbing Donna’s arm, too weak to keep its hold, falls down to his side. The Master. The very first face of the Master, still dressed in Academy attire, has just crash landed inside his TARDIS.

    “He’s…the Master.” the gasp of shock he expects never arrives, Donna just nods as to spur him on “My best friend.” he mutters.

    “You’re best friend with a teenager?” she snorts.
