i wrote you something very, very self indulgentaraliasApril 27 2010, 23:20:05 UTC
Crane Wife (The Track Changes Remix) (aka if the Master used Microsoft Word for beta-ing)
Once upon a time In the year 5963.2 Rassilon era there were two men: a traveller who dreamed of nothing but travelling, and an Emperor who thought of nothing but ruling. many beings of all descriptions populating the galaxy, of whom two of the most important were an Emperor and a wandering do-gooder. One day the traveller lost his way, and found himself in the court of the Emperor. There was treated like a prince and given all manner of fine things by his generous host, until the time came for him to continue travelling. Then he found the doors of the palace barred to him, and saw it for the golden cage it was. (These events are out of sequence - does that matter?) “Are you not happy here?” the Emperor asked, his voice persuasive (and sensual) and his golden keys tucked securely his belt. “Why not stay with me forever?” But now the traveller saw the bars, and one night while the Emperor slept was distracted due to an unfair and, as it turned out

something like this. i don't know if it would have been the entire story, but this is sort of what i was thinking. i don't know. you're right in that it's the wrong tone, although i was borrowing from the way five tells his crane wife story, although i see now that you wrote that in the present tense... i've gone the other way now, and can't write that. ah well.
And then I read it and I was like :D :D :D by a factor of umpteen million gazillion!
Everything was awesome. The reunion, the reunion sex, the bickering, the sly little last line, Tegan! I loved Tegan. I loved that everyone was so unnerved by the Doctor and the Master getting together. No one can see the best of all possible worlds, even when it's playing footsie right in front of them...
Oh, win, win, WIN!! I love this series so, so, so much and I love the happy ending and how the Doctor did it! I love his declaration of love and his insistence that they both remain who they are! I really, really love seeing the Doctor openly affectionate with the Master. There is no where near enough of that! :D
Thank you, thank you for giving them such a wonderful happy ending! <3 <3 <3

What can I comment on? This was great. And I think of this pairing every time I hear that Decemberists song now. I love that Tegan said "gay married in space." Also AWWWWW a ring. Five is such a girl. The gossipy scientists never cease to amuse me. Is Brax's name really Irving or did you make that up?
so completely flattered!x_losficApril 28 2010, 09:17:53 UTC
It's not even my fav album of theirs, I do not know what came over me!
And of course Tegan goes there--Tegan lives there, bless. She is so blunt and great.
Now that there's a legit wedding I fully expect one or both of them to BRIDEZILLA it.
Oh man, wiki it, he is legit 'Irving Braxiatel.' Like, he sat down to pick out a human name to do business as and thought, what sounds intelligent, rich, sexy and awesome? Ah yes! /Irving/.
