Fic: Living Things (1/3)
Jun. 28th, 2008 09:48 pmI've rarely written a fic so deceptive. The first draft was uber-easy to write, the second draft, which made it longer and more complex, turned out to have massive problems, but the third and final version hopefully works.
Title: Living Things
Rating: adult (overall)
Pairing: Doctor/Master
Wordcount: 3772 (this chapter)
Note: Scream of the Shalka is an animated serial by the BBC with an alternate Ninth Doctor and an alternate Master. You can watch it here or here.
This fic is set before the serial, and you needn't have seen it: as long as you know who the Doctor, the Master, the TARDIS and the Time Lords are, you're good.

x_los, whose invaluable beta made me rewrite this a second time, and hopefully in an improved fashion.
Summary: The Doctor, the Master and happily ever after. Not an easy fit.
( He felt hollowed out, all skin and bones and sinews, but no blood in his hearts, no soul in the centre of his being. It would pass, it always passed, but he was tired. )
Part II
Part III
