The Road to ... (Chapter 3, Part 2)

Oct 15, 2007 07:32


At a magnificent mahogany desk under a tremendous skylight, an important, harried-looking man is staring at a small screen is his hands, stabbing at it frantically with his fingers. Other than his tortured expression, he appears oblivious to the noisy, angry crowds surrounding him. People are shouting, waving papers, banging their fists on the desk ( Read more... )

When the Master is around, when they are on the same side ... the Doctor is different. His mind is not working so quickly, because he knows the Master’s is. The Master will take care of it.
That's interesting. That's very interesting. I love your character development in this thing, for both of them.
Last couple of paragraphs: brilliant! *adores the Master*

Yeah, that bit you quoted - I guess it's ... debatable, to say the least. It's just an image that I have, related to the fact that sometimes it's nice to be taken care of, but with the odd slant these two tend to put on things!

The character stuff - I hope it's reading the way I wanted it to. I don't think it's realistic if these two get all fluffy, but just constant hate and hurting ... that's not character development. I wanted them to reach a sort of detente, an understanding or agreement of sorts, without stepping massively out of character. If I've done it right, that's how it'll read.

Anyway, glad you liked it. Just one more chapter to go!am

Well, we're nearing the end now. There's only one chapter left - although, the way I've planned it, it might be totally open to a sequel.

Mmmm ... he'd agreed to try the Doctor's idea, so he's actually given it his best shot. It hasn't worked, so now they have to try something else.

I don't believe there's NO way these two can co-exist. I wanted to work out how that might happen. I don't want to go into fluff territory, but I'm allergic to tragic endings, so now I have to work out how to write a happy ending while staying in character!

Glad you like.
