Jeez, finally got part 2 finished, months later. Italics galore. Part 3 will probably be just as distant in the future :| At least I feel like I've made some vague progress when it comes to writing. Oi.

I wanted a picture of the Luxor Temple in this too but lol... when we went it was at night and all my pictures came out cruddy -.-;; So there's the Kom Ombo at the bottom.

Part 1 can be found here.

In other news, "Handlebars" by Flobots is a frighteningly fitting song for the Doctor. That is all.

The concept is priceless at best. The Master doesn’t even bother holding back his laughter. The Doctor this whole time has been acting as though he were trying so hard to protect the Master, but all he was doing was trying to cover his tracks, since what he really intended to do was lay the Master out as bait. )

I donno if I'll continue it. For now, it's just a standalone.

He was human; this he knew well enough, but there were memories that countered it. )

Prompt: What worries you masters you. -Haddon W. Robinson
Character(s): The Master, the Doctor, Donna Noble
Words: 1,265

Directly follows this. The evil!Donna thing I previously wrote ended up in its own little verse, and I wasn't planning on having anything after that particular piece (more going in the direction of everything leading up to it) but lol... things happen XD;

I was thinking about how the hell the Master ever thought that he could have a new Gallifrey up in the heavens. Seriously, dude, wtf. … I have no idea if this would actually work, of course, but hey. That’s life. And it's not like I really care


To war we go... )

Prompt: It's not a matter of whether or not someone's watching over you. It's just a question of their intentions. -Randy K. Milholland
Character(s): The Master & the Doctor
Words: 1,839

This ended up getting longer than I initially intended XD; ... I haven't actually written anymore yet. Ah well. At some point will finish that meme, too, lol. And write something for the enemies verse :O 'cause I haven't done that in awhile... have sorta something started for the evil!Donna thing but. *shrug*

Need to edit verses too at some point... fff randomly growing to-do list :|

Mmmm... likely several years after S3-AU.


Distantly, he imagines he hears the drumming, and he grasps to the sound, however false it may be, in an instant. He never thought he’d be so grateful of it. Clarity seeps around him now... )

Prompt: There's a door with a sign that says 'Do Not Enter', but it's not locked. Do you go in or not?

I don't think my [livejournal.com profile] justprompts fest is bubbling down yet :O Who knows, lol. I have some loose story-ideas kicking around. This one here is another plot that blindsided me. I just wanted to write the Master in the rain :| But LOL I think it turned out pretty well. Like the story with Donna, this miiiight just take a verse of its own. It'd be fun to write more of.

And I never really manage to keep a consistent timeline for these things. So like... presumably the Master resurrected sometime after s4. This story, itself, takes place many, maaaany years after that occurred.

They run. A nonstop motion until they’re outside again, met by the cold downpour and splashing through puddles along the sidewalk. )

Character(s): The Master, the Doctor

Yes, I have been having a [livejournal.com profile] justprompts fest these last few days. I've been slacking so much, it's really overdue.

One of the first things the Master did after the Doctor managed to ‘keep him’ was mess with the TARDIS console. )

Prompt: Deception.
Character(s): The Master, the Doctor, Donna Noble
Words: 1,043

Warning: Very, very, very slight spoilers for Planet of the Dead, I guess XD ... er, and I also suppose s4's ending. *headscratch*

As per usual, I have no idea what's going on :D However, I may work with this 'concept' again, because it's quite interesting.

I haven't really edited this yet.


It’s funny because the Doctor finally expects it... )

Prompt: Hourglass (picture)
Character(s): The Master, the Doctor
Words: 2,643

Summary: After the lock containing the Time War shatters and bursts open, the remnants left behind burn along with Gallifrey and the Daleks.
Warning: Major character death, angst.


...Yes, I realize how impossible this plot is XD But... for SOME REASON the prompt escaped me and lol, this is what it became. And heck if I know how the time-lock broke. They don't, either. Use your imagination!
