broken melody, lullaby of pain
Fandom: Doctor Who
  Pairing: 12th Doctor x Reader & 13th Doctor x Reader
  Summary: The Doctor thought you died along with everyone and yet here you are under the clutch of the Master. 
  Warning: ooc, angst, obsession, mention of mental abuse, plot holes as usual, etc.
    After saying goodbye with her fam, the Doctor made her way toward the matrix chamber where the deranged Master and his CyberMaster are, bringing with her the weapon of destruction that she intend to use on them and herself in the process.
  She thought of the telepathy she shared earlier with the Master and how he said he has one last surprise for her. Knowing him, she need to be on guard because it will definitely be unpleasant.
  But she never thought that the surprise he mentioned would be...you.
  As she entered the hall where she supposed to meet the Master, she saw a young woman standing alone in the middle of the room. She felt like she was punched in the gut when the woman turned around and revealed herself.
  "(name)?" She called out hesitantly.
  You didn't reply at first. You look terrified. Your eyes are glassy as you glanced at the Doctor.
  The Doctor blinked her eyes a few times as if trying to make sure what she saw is not a figment of her imagination. Though if it is, she has no idea why it would show her you. She raised her hand as if wanting to reach out to you.
  You took a step back away from her, making her confused. You looked almost afraid of her.
  "(name), it is me, the Doctor...." She said softly in placating manner as if you are an injured animal need extra handling.
You shook your head as tears fell down your cheek. "I didn't know where you were. She was the only one there. I didn't know what to do...so I just did what he told me." You said in a hoarse and trembling voice.
  The Doctor is confused, trying to make sense what you are saying before she realized that you are talking about Missy back in the mondas ship. Her mouth dropped open in horror at what you are implying. 
  7777
  You first met the Doctor when he was in his eleventh incarnation. You are Clara's best friend. Clara had told you about the Doctor when you accidentally got involved in an incident with alien. 
  The Doctor took you on a trip to show off time travel. You were awed by the Tardis and the weirdly energetic Time Lord. 
  As the Doctor invited you to stay for a few more trips, you quickly realized that both the Doctor and Clara addicted to danger and excitement. You weren't like them. The trips started with fun and safe and then quickly turned into lot of running and try not to get killed at. It wasn't your cup of tea. You love the part where you see wonder but you dislikes the next part.
  You didn't stay full time on Tardis, prefering to stay on Earth where life is boring but safe. You couldn't keep up with the glee of the unknown trouble that the Doctor and Clara shared. And you were fine with it. 
  Once in a while though, Clara did convince you to take some time off and travel with them for one trip to a special place that she knew you would have love to be part of or when you are feeling burnt out with your daily life, you would phone Clara and asked her to come pick you up.
  You got along quite well with the Doctor. He was a funny man and he likes you enough to let you join him and Clara for trips to see the wonder of universe.
  You felt like third wheel though whenever those two started their flirting-not-flirting thing. You asked Clara about it and she admitted that she fancy him but she was unsure how to go about it. The man is practically an immortal alien and she is just a human.
  You found out about Clara's echoes eventually and she had explained that she splintered herself to save the Doctor by jumping into his timestream.
  You weren't there when the Doctor regenerated. But when you did finally met the new Doctor, you know you are in trouble because his new appearance caught your fancy. You always have a thing, a weakness for older gentleman and the new Doctor could almost pass for one if one could ignore or manage his rudeness.
  Oh and Clara know all about your little crush on the Doctor and teases you mercilessly. You were not pleased especially considering that your best friend has dibs on the Doctor first.
  To your surprise, Clara give you the go ahead to try and woo the Doctor, not that you would. He is an immortal alien, remember? Same issue still applied in this case. But you were surprised with Clara's revelation about how the new Doctor has basically sit her down and said he was not her boyfriend. Ouch. That made you more determined to never acted on your stupid crush.
  It was awkward at first trying to interact with the new Doctor as you were so used with chin boy, Clara's nickname for Eleventh Doctor. But with a few more meeting, you would eventually grew fond of him. You didn't know what he think of you but he might be tolerating you for Clara. You thought you were in your best behavior around him. You never flirted with him or provoke him. 
  Clara is truly his best mate, able to keep him on his toes, rein him in when he deliberately being cruel. As much as you have a bad crush on him, you couldn't handle his rudeness.
  Clara eventually dated a man called Danny Pink. When the Doctor found out, he was livid. He materialized Tardis in your living room and proceed to complain about it to you of all people. 
  You tried to calm him down and convinced him that if he care for Clara, he should be happy for her.
  Then come the fight. Clara told you about what happened with the moon and how the Doctor abandoned her alone. You were helpless to try to console her as she made a decision that she was done with the Doctor.
  Of course, not long after Clara left, the Doctor came to you, babbling about how he didn't understand what he did wrong to Clara and so you set him straight. He was genuinely afraid now that his impossible girl will truly left him. So you suggested one last hurrah between them in hope in that one trip they could find a common ground again. 
  Later on, Clara remained with the Doctor, apparently they have made up nice. You were glad for them.

  Clara is inconsolable. Her boyfriend died. She was mostly numb. You tried to comfort her but she mostly ignored you. 
  Desperate, you turned to the Doctor for help eventhough you know he is socially awkward. But Clara is also his best friend so you demanded that he did something for her to help her.
  "What she need is time and space to mourn." The Doctor said.
  "But I'm worried for her. She is not eating or sleeping well. She is not grieving properly."
  "There is a proper way of grieving?" He raised impressive eyebrows at you mockingly.
  You rolled your eyes. "You know what I meant."
  It was then he received a call from Clara which make you panicked as if you are receiving a phone call from a crush much to the Doctor's amusement.
  You glared at him and told him to drop you home before he goes to Clara.
  "What happened to comforting her together?"
  "You are her thing."
  The Doctor look insulted. "I'm not her thing!"
  You almost laughed at how insulted he look like. "I just meant you and her are...have this bond, you know, special one...and this trips on the Tardis are always yours and hers. And she obviously need you more than she need me. So..."
  The Doctor looked uncomfortable, probably has no idea what to say to you so he dropped you home without more fuss.
  Next thing you know there were red alerts as citizens are told to stay at home away from the street. From the news, you realized Earth is invaded by alien...again. You recognized the cybermen. You are worried for the Doctor and Clara.
  You were relieved when the day after Clara contacted you, apologizing for not keep in touch with you. She told you the Doctor has gone, returned back to Gallifrey, his home planet.
  As months passed with Clara withdrawn and depressed, you contacted the Doctor, leave a voicemail telling him that Clara need him and that she still didn't cope well with the loss of Danny.
  You didn't receive any reply. But a week later, the Doctor suddenly show up during your date night with an older gentleman that is your type and the Doctor made a mess of the date. You were furious with him.
  "What do you mean that Clara didn't cope well with the loss of PE? Danny is back, isn't he? Clara told me so!" The Doctor approached the table where you sat with your date without any greeting and started babbling urgently. 
  "Doctor? What are you doing here?" You hissed furiously. "Danny is dead, remember?"
  The Doctor started talking really fast at you before stopped and noticing your date. He then ruined it by asking if the man is your father. You really wanted to drop your head on the table right at that moment.
  Uncomfortable with the Doctor, your date politely asked if they can reshedule their date in another time but you know he wouldn't ever call you back now. The date is going well too and now thanks to the Doctor, it is now ruined. At least, your date still paid for dinner despite your insistent to let you pay everything. You apologized to him and watched him left with a sigh before glaring at the Doctor.
  The Doctor shrugged innocently and grinned sheepishly at you.
  You sighed in resignation and led him back into his Tardis where you both talked about Clara. The Doctor admitted of lying about Gallifrey. 
  You rolled your eyes at him. "You are both idiot. It is obvious you miss each other. Don't be stubborn and go to her, Doctor, tell her the truth, tell her you know Danny is not back."
  The Doctor said he will think about it. He seemed to think Clara is better without him. You wanted to slap him so much for his stupidity.
  Eventually you learned that Clara is back traveling on the Tardis with the Doctor. According to them, santa claus made them do it.
  7777
  The Doctor now dressed like a rock star and he show off his ability to play electric guitar to you and Clara. 
  He was kinder now, less rude. He no longer complained too much whenever Clara or you hug him. One might say he is a bit affectionate toward the both of you.
  You still refused to be his full time companion like Clara. You would take a trip or two for every two weeks or whenever you felt like you need a time out.
  The Doctor is currently at the console, playing a tune on his guitar while talking about some sci-fi stuff that completely beyond your understanding.
  You stared at him with fondness.
  Clara noticed it and teased you about it later on. She asked whether you need her help to woo the Doctor to which you replied you are not the Doctor's type. She is. Which promptly shut her up.
  During one of the trip, you noticed how careless Clara is and you talked to the Doctor about it but he brush you off, telling you that he won't let anything bad happen to Clara...or you, he added as afterthought.
  You were touched that he care about you enough and said so to him to which he replied that he consider you as friend too. You were so happy that you hugged him and kissed his cheek.
  He stared at you blankly as he touches his cheek.
  You giggled as you suddenly felt bold enough to actually start flirting with him. But later on, you felt like you wanted to crawl under a rock for being insane enough to do that especially since he didn't seem to know how to deal with your affection.
  Clara laughed at you when you told her about it much to your dismay.
  7777
  Clara is dead. You got a phone call from Clara's father. Her body is found on a street. They had no idea what is the cause of death. From Rigsy, you found out the truth.
  You were unable to cope with her death and you wished to talk to the Doctor but you couldn't even contact him. According to Rigsy, the Doctor was taken to somewhere else, presumably by an enemy of the Doctor.
  You are worried for the Doctor but there is nothing you can do about it. You contacted UNIT and spoke to Kate but even she has no clue what is going on.
  There is nothing you can do but to help with Clara's funeral. You tried to be brave for Clara's family. After the funeral, when you are finally alone and realizing the loss of Clara, you broke down crying.
  You now understood how Clara felt when she lost Danny. You just wanted to be left alone, not wanting to do anything at all.
  Then, Clara reappeared in front of you in a waitress uniform from a Tardis that resembles a dinner. She was there to say goodbye and to tell you to take it easy when next you met the Doctor. She told you the Doctor has no memory of herself now.
  You wonder if the Doctor would even bother to come for you as the one connecting you to him is always Clara.
  "He considered you as a friend too, you know. He likes you. Not many people can says that." Clara reassured you. She made you promise to help the Doctor eventhough you have no idea what you could possibly offer the Doctor. You are not her.
  "If he comes for me, I promise I will help him to the best of my ability." You made that promise, fully aware that the Doctor is unlikely to come for you despite his words before about considering you as a friend. He didn't strike you as the type who keep a regular contact with those he called friends unless they were his current companion.
  You and Clara had a teary goodbye and you watched her Tardis vanished before your eyes. You never saw her again.
  As you predicted, the Doctor never come for you. You weren't surprised but it still hurts you. You tried not to take it personally. You tried to move on with your life.
  7777
  It was merely an accident that you met the Doctor again. You were accompanying your slightly younger cousin to check out St. Luke's University. Your cousin is thinking to apply to that university.
  It was there you overheard a bunch of students talking about their eccentric teacher, the one called the Doctor.
  Curious but also dreading to meet him, you decided to look for him. And you did find him.
  He was playing his electric guitar at his posh office. You saw his blue box on the corner of the room.
  He glanced at your arrival. He didn't seem to recognize you at first.
  You slapped him. You didn't meant to but when you saw his indifferent face, you kind of loses it.
  He was taken aback by the sudden assault but before he could say a word, you slapped him again and then hit his chest repeatedly with your fists as you yelled and cursed at him.
  He gripped both of your hands to stop the assault on his person. His eyes softened as he whispered your name. He apologized to you as you broke down crying in his arms.
  "It has been 2 years, you bastard! You left me behind without any explanation for what happened to Clara! You promised me she will be safe even after I told you she was reckless! And then she died and you don't even have the courtesy to show up and explain everything! I had to heard it all from Rigsy!" You yelled at him.
  "I know." He looked remorseful but you are still so mad at him.
  "I know that you no longer have any memory of Clara but surely you remember me? You said you considered me as friend but you abandoned me! Friends don't do that, you jerk! Stupid eyebrow!"
  The Doctor remained silent in the face of your fury. After you calmed down, he offered you tea much to your bewilderment.
  You told him about how Clara told you what happened to him, being trapped in a confession dial, almost breaking the rule of time for the sake of Clara and also about the promise you made to her. So, after all of that, you asked him how he is holding up.
  The Doctor admitted of being ashamed of himself for what happened to Clara and can't bear to face you especially since he couldn't even remember Clara at all.
  You and the Doctor talked about Clara a lot. Through you, the Doctor is able to put a face on Clara. You told him the brave tale of Clara Oswald and her Doctor.
  You forgot about your cousin until she called you. You had to leave the Doctor but you were reluctant. You asked him if he will be at the university for long. He said he will be stuck in there for a long while.
  You smiled softly at him. "Can I come see you again?"
  He glanced down at you with fond smile. "If you like."
  You hugged him and he, at first, was hesitant to hug you but he did eventually.
  7777
  After that day, you spend at least a few hours to visit him in the university and you have valid excuse because your cousin did apply there.
  There were rumour floating around that you were the Doctor's girlfriend but you and the Doctor ignored it.
  The Doctor introduced you to Nardole and Bill. Bill is curious about how you know the Doctor and she recognized that you did indeed still fancy the Doctor and teases you about it.
  The Doctor eventually told you about the reason he was stuck there. You had heard about Missy before from Clara and her warning that she is pure evil. You have no interest in meeting her.
  Knowing the Doctor stuck there, you tried to cheer him up by asking him out. He was confused whether you are asking him out on a date after Bill's teasing about him having a date and he asked you about it.
  You were embarrassed and cursed Bill for bringing that up. You told him it was a friendly outing. Though, of course, you sort of wished for more but this is the Doctor. He is dense when it come to romance. Also, you have no idea if he even feel the same, probably not.
  One day, the Doctor asked you out for a date night in some foreign planet. He claimed it was for ruining your date night years ago. You laughed at the date night he mentioned. You remembered that night when he asked your date of the night if he was your father. He eventually admitted he was asking you out because Bill wouldn't shut up about how you fancy him and how lucky he was to have someone like you waiting around for him.
  Your face reddened as you muttered about killing Bill. 
  He smiled kindly at you which made your heart flutter around like a trapped butterfly inside a jar. "Spare Bill your wrath, she was just concerned for you and I. Apparently, she ship us."
  You nearly choke on your drink when he said that with a flat face. You felt like you are not nearly drunk enough to survive this humiliation. Overall, it was a successful date night. You have fun. The Doctor is surprisingly good at planning a date night. 
  You remembered that Clara once told you that he was married to River Song but she was deceased. You wondered what kind of a woman she was to have caught his fancy. She must be someone amazing. You didn't dare to ask him about her but you saw the picture he had on his office. You even asked Nardole about her. You realized the Doctor is still hung up on her and Clara to some extent even if he didn't remember her.
  You sighed, hating yourself for being insecure. You knew the Doctor is out of your league and yet here you are, falling under his spell again. You didn't know whether to hug Bill or hit her for plotting against you like this. You were, in the end, grateful for a chance to have a memory of being on a date with the Doctor. Though, the realization that according to the Doctor, this is somewhat a pity date, ruined it for you.
  After that one date, you avoided the Doctor like a plague. It was Bill who come to you and knock some sense into you.
  "This is the Doctor we are talking about. He doesn't know what even a pity date is. So, please, (name), just come back. You are miserable. He is also miserable. He blames me, you know, for taking my advice and takes you out on a date. He thought he did something wrong to you. Now he thought he had lost you too." Bill said.
  You narrowed your eyes at her. "You are lying, aren't you? There is no way the Doctor acted like that merely because I'm not there."
  "Well yeah he didn't pout as much, mostly he tried distracting himself with teaching and traveling in the Tardis, but he is very grumpy, more than usual. Ask Nardole if you don't believe me. Ask his students, they thought you broke up with him and that made him become no fun anymore."
  So, yeah, like the fool you are, you decided to come back and have as Bill put it a 'grown-up' talk with the Doctor.
  What the hell...you decided to tell him the truth and see what happened. If he didn't feel the same, well, that's a problem that you will have to deal with anyway sooner or later. Better just do it and get it over with now. Rip the band-aid so to speak. Maybe then you can properly move on and erased your feeling for him to make room for new feeling for someone else.
  You had a long talk with the Doctor. You found out Bill is right about the date being not a pity date. He had even told you that if he didn't like you, he would never took you out on a date. 
  "I can't promise you forever." The Doctor eventually said.
  "I never would ask you that. I know that you can't do that. All I ask, if you are willing, to be with me for as long as we can."
  "Then you shall have me for as long as you want to, (name)." The Doctor said.
  You were surprised and felt elated by his words. You took his hand on yours and beamed at him.
  He glanced down at you with soft smile and kind eyes. You loved him more for it. 
  7777
  The Doctor took you on dates many times after that. He is taking care to make sure there will be no crisis need averting during the dates but that did not always work.
  You should have known the Doctor is definitely a trouble magnet despite his effort. During a date night, the place where the Doctor took you with was invaded by a hostile group.
  Of course, you were taken hostage as the Doctor along with a group of people that apparently genious in their own right were forced to solve some chess puzzle with life or death at stake.
  Thinking the Doctor need more incentive, they put you into some death trap where one wrong move during the chess puzzle will end with your death.
  You were properly scared especially after you saw the person before you died in agony when someone else before the Doctor is forced to solve it.
  The Doctor is enraged by this hostile group who put you in this situation.
  You couldn't help the tears that flooded your eyes as your body trembled waiting for the pain of death even as you glanced up at the Doctor, trying to put up a brave face. 
  He told you to shut up when he realized you were trying to say goodbye, believing that you will die in that death trap.
  It was a close call but he eventually able to cheat the game and freed you. You were so relieved as you fell into his arms weakly.
  The Doctor however is angry especially when he learned that the trap is plotted by someone called Gus. He eventually told you he know a Gus, one responsible for the incident of the mummy in orient express back when he was with Clara.
  You remembered Clara told you about their supposed last hurrah on orient express. You wondered if Gus has some grudge against the Doctor or he just enjoy sickening games.
  You could tell the Doctor felt guilty for putting you in danger. You were afraid that he will change his mind and left you behind. You grabbed on one of his arms, putting your head near his chest and whispered to him that you are okay and you will try not to scare easy, that you will do better next time.
  The Doctor looked sad when you said that.
  7777
  Feeling guilty after what happened at the last date, the Doctor took you to have some fun. He assurred you the place is safe.
  The Doctor took you out to some alien bazaar in some orange planet but he accidentaly took you to the same place where he once as his eleventh incarnation took you and Clara.
  You were stunned when you saw past Clara, wishing you can come to her and give her a hug.
  It was Eleventh Doctor who notices you and he was confused because he was sure he left you with Clara.
  You blinked at Chin Boy and took a look at him. You still found it hard to believe that he is the same person as Eyebrow.
  It was then your Doctor appeared and he put his hand around your waist as he started talking about some attraction that he thought you would like. He didn't seem to notice his past-self at first.
  It was kind of funny watching Chin Boy pieces it together your relationship with his future-self. He spluttered in surprise and waved his hands around like a deranged giraffe.
  When your Doctor finally recognized his past-self, he didn't look at all impressed or happy seeing him. They started to insult each other, whether it was about his past chin or his future eyebrow.
  You stifled a giggle as both Doctors glared at you.
  After Chin Boy left, you were wondering if that meant he always know that they will ended up dating but he said his past-self would not retain any memory of meeting you and him.
  As you watched past you and Clara having a laugh together, you couldn't help but felt sad. You glanced up to see your Doctor staring at Clara too. You could tell he is trying to remember her, anything about her, but he couldn't.
  You took his hand and led him away from the scene. You kissed his cheek and asked him what he need right now.
  The Doctor glanced down at you with soft smile. You could almost believe that he loves you at that moment.
  7777
  You and the Doctor are officially dating now. Bill and Nardole knew about it. Your cousin knew about it. The whole university knew about it.
  His students like to ask the Doctor about your relationship during his lecture much to his dismay. He even told you that your cousin attended his lectures too and asked about the nature of his relationship with you.
  You stiffled a smile and promised him you would tell your cousin to stop teasing him.
  You were reluctant to travel with him full time, prefering to be safe on Earth, letting him, Bill and Nardole instead playing the hero game. You were grateful that the Doctor didn't think less of you for wanting to stay safe.
  7777
  You were so afraid for the Doctor upon finding out he is blind. You were angry at him for keeping it a secret from you. You refused to leave his side, wanting to make sure he is safe even if it meant you have to get down and dirty with any crisis headed his way.
  You were so grateful for Bill for she is the only one in position to make a deal with the Monk to save him. You were with the Doctor but on the wrong side. You couldn't help him at all. You thought you would lose him for good this time. But then Bill saved him.
  After he regained his eyesight, the Doctor set out to figure out a way to get the monks off the Earth.
  That was the first time the Doctor took you and Bill inside the vault where you laid eyes on Missy for the first time.
  You didn't like her at all. As Clara told you before, Missy is cruel with her words, not afraid to strike anyone down with her pouting lips. But the Doctor seemed to manage her well enough.
  The Doctor said he was trying to rehabilitate her and he thought it was working well. She seemed to start showing remorse.
  After the monk fiasco is over with, the Doctor told you and Bill about his plan to give Missy a test run to see how she deal with a crisis.
  Missy is curious with you upon realizing you are dating the Doctor, teasing him about what a pedophile he is for taking a very young human to be his fuck buddy. Her words is crude and very insulting. You dislikes her even more. But you got the feeling she couldn't careless whether anyone likes her or not, except maybe the Doctor. 
  You got a feeling that maybe there were deeper history between her and the Doctor. You wondered if they ever become lovers in their past but that is not something you can ask him. Come to think about it, you still don't know much about the Doctor except from what Clara told you which is a lot but still not enough. You tried to respect his need for secret. You know he is just indulging you in your desire to have him as your lover. He didn't owe you anything more than he want to share.
  7777
  Everything fall apart during the first test run for Missy. For once, you agreed to go with them but you remained on the Tardis with the Doctor while Bill and Nardole play the part as Missy's companion.
  Worried for Bill, the Doctor immediately got outside but he locked you inside the Tardis against your wishes. He wanted you safe.
  Before he could get Bill to safety, she got killed by the blue alien who is afraid of the things inside the ship who only come when there is human nearby.
  After Bill was taken away, the Doctor eventually allowed you out of the Tardis after he knocked out the blue alien. 
  "Bill is my friend. I won't just sit there inside the Tardis."
  "There are creatures down there who goes after human. You will be in danger." The Doctor said.
  "I don't care! We stick together, Doctor, no matter what." 
  He relented and allowed you to come with them. You ignored Missy mocking you, prefering to listen to the Doctor and Nardole instead.
  You and the Doctor found out Bill has been turned into a cyberman, a mondasian cyberman. And of course Missy had to betray you both when her past incarnation revealed to be behind the entire plot.
  You were so sad for Bill especially once you found out she is still aware of herself inside that cold steel. The Doctor lied to Bill about being able to fix her but told you the truth that he can't.
  He told you he should have made you stay inside the Tardis.
  "It was my choice, Doctor, to stand here with you. I am scared but I won't regret you." You said.
  The Master mocked both you and Bill. You wished you could hurt him right back. The Doctor pulled you and Bill away from him.
  7777
  You were in one of the room at the house, alone, trying to calm your nerve. You were really bad at handling crisis. You wished you could offer some help for the Doctor. You wished you were a companion he can depend on but you know you are not. 
  While you were feeling sorry for yourself, the Doctor entered the room, watching you from the doorway. You were still unaware that he was there.
  "Are you okay?" The Doctor spoke up suddenly, making you jump in surprise.
  You were nervous, that everyone probably can tell. You forced a smile as you sat down, desperately trying to put on a brave face.
  He sighed. "You don't have to pretend. It's okay to be afraid."
  "Fear is superpower?" You lightly said.
  The Doctor smiled solemnly. "I'm guessing Clara told you that one too..."
  "She was my best friend. We have no secret with each other. She was your best friend too." You said as you looked down at your lap, fingers gripping at your skins. "I wish she was here. She would be able to help you more."
  The Doctor sighed. He sat beside you, put one hand over yours. He took your hand and kissed it gently.
  You turned toward him slightly as you tried to smile but instead your eyes were wet with unshed tears.
  "I love you, Doctor." You whispered. "I didn't need you to say it back. I just want you to know." You lied, of course, it would have been nice to hear him says it but only if he meant it. You put your hand over his cheek. "Thank you for letting me stay with you."
  The Doctor didn't say anything, only glancing down at you with a look you can't decipher. He pulled you close to him and kissed your forehead as you rest your head on his shoulder.
  That night, you sleep in each other arms or at least you were. The Doctor watched over you sleep. You only know because you were restless in your sleep. You clutched one of his arms, fully aware of how clingy you are but he has not yet rejected your touches so maybe it was okay.
  You shared a smile with the Doctor as you finally gave up to try to sleep and just laid there, staring at each other.
  "Whatever happen next, I'm with you. And even if I...don't survive this, please don't ever blame yourself."
  The Doctor looked like he want to object so you covered his mouth with your palm.
  You switched into a seating position, staring at him solemnly. "I meant it. Don't you dare regret me because I didn't regret you. Even if today is our last day, I would be happy because I am with you. So, don't even think of sending me away." You said, remembering what Clara told you about how the Doctor send her away from Trenzalore.
  He pulled your hand away from his mouth as he moved into a seating position too. He sighed in resignation. "As you wish then, (name)."
  You stared at him suspiciously. You did know the Doctor enough from Clara to know the Doctor lies. You could only hope he would not lie to you.

  Things has gotten dangerous as more cybermen attacked the settlement. The Doctor, Missy and the Master worked together before the Master decided it was a lost cause and intending to leave.
  It was heartbreaking watching your Doctor begging Missy to stand by his side and was rejected.
  You could tell this is one of those time where the Doctor can't save everyone. Your heart aches for him, watching him wreck his brain in an attempt to save everyone. You were a bit glad for last night with the Doctor, because you get to say everything that need saying to him. You tried to make your peace with what happening.
  You were angry though when later the Doctor forced you to evacuate with Nardole and the other passengers. He said he had a plan, that everything will be okay. He promised he will come back for you and Nardole soon. He was convincing enough that you did go with Nardole. The Doctor stayed behind with Bill.
  As you left with Nardole, you felt something is wrong. Against Nardole's warning, you returned back to find the Doctor.
  You never find him.
  7777
   You were desperate to try to find the Doctor but you couldn't find him, instead you found Missy.
  She was dying. But so is the Master. Against your better judgement, you decided to help Missy. She was always mean to you but she did help the Doctor and Bill before today. 
  Missy was surprised to see you and even more when you helped her up and away from there. She guided you to the path where the Master's Tardis is hidden.
  She told you to take her to the med bay and instructed you of what to do with her fatal injuries. You were shaking but follow her instruction. You gave her some sort of injection. 
  Next thing you know she was glowing and exploded. The force of her regeneration knocked you hard as you crashed into some medical cart. You were on the floor, neck bleeding from some accidental stabbing by one of the medical instruments.
  You gasped as you put one hand over your injury, hoping to slow down the bleeding but you were too weak. You blacked out just as you saw a man emerged toward you, staring at you coldly. Your last thought was you wish you didn't help Missy if this is how she repay you.
  7777
  You were surprised to find yourself still alive afterward. Your neck is bandaged properly. You felt so ill and weak.
  "You are awake." 
  You almost jumped as you heard that voice.
  A man in purple suit emerged from the shadow. You have no idea who he is. You were with Missy before, weren't you? 
  You gulped. "Missy?"
  He chuckled. "Call me Master."
  You flinched at that. The Master, the earlier version, was so intimidating and cruel. You don't know what to make with this one. But he did save your life, so there is that. You were not comfortable around him.
  "I...where are we now? The Doctor..."
  He scoffed. "The Doctor is gone, he has abandoned the both of us."
  You glared at him. "You are the one who abandon him first." You probably shouldn't poke the bear.
  He stared at you curiously. "Still he did abandon you. Everyone on that ship died but him while he fly away in his Tardis again. He didn't even come back for you."
   You flinched at that. But you tried to take comfort at the fact that the Doctor survived. You hoped to reunite again with him but you are unsure how to go about it. You were practically under the Master's mercy right now. 
  You wondered why he still keep you around, not that you are not grateful. You were afraid he would abandon you into some foreign planet with no way to contact the Doctor.
  "What are you going to do now...to me?" You tentatively asked.
  He raised an eyebrow at you. "Sounded like you expect me to torture you or something..."
  "So am I free to go then?"
  "Are you going to run back to the Doctor?" He asked.
  You were unsure what the correct answer would be. You were afraid the wrong answer will set him off. "I...I don't know..."
  He hummed. "He thought nobody survived in that ship. He probably thought you died too." He chuckled. "For once, the Doctor can not save everyone."
  Your heart ached at the thought the grief the Doctor must be going through right now. You hated the Master for finding it funny that the Doctor failed to save everyone.
  "I want to see him." You whispered. "Can you...will you take me to him?"
  A dark expression crossed his feature. His cold answer chilled you to the bone. "No."
  7777
  The Master imprisoned you on board of his Tardis. He was mostly courteous with you.
  You showed the same courtesy, mostly because you were afraid.
  But when one day he landed in Victorian London, you tried to escape, hoping to find Madam Vastra and Jenny so that they can help you reunited with the Doctor.
  The Master foiled your plan and got really mad at you.
  "Why are you still wanting to be with him? He abandoned you!!" He roared at you, making you so frightened that you could only whimpers.
  He made you so very afraid when he cupped your face as he put his forehead over yours and invaded your mind. The brutal attack on your mind left you weak as a kitten. You were completely under his mercy.
  After that day, you were to afraid to disobey him and just do what he told you...mostly. He is up to his usual chaos and you refused to be a part of it, especially when you realized he was plotting against the Doctor.
  He was harsh with you and have no qualm to attack you mentally until you submit to him.
  You prayed that the Doctor will come and rescue you. He laughed at your thoughts and showed you the Doctor from his hidden camera.
  That was the first time you were told that the Doctor has regenerated...into a woman. She has new companions with her. She called them her fam.
  Your heart ached at the thought the Doctor you know and fell in love with is gone, replaced with this woman. Part of you though recognized that she is still the Doctor. You were glad though that she found new companions and that she is not alone.
  The Master is displeased with you whenever he caught you thinking of the Doctor. You didn't understand why he insisted to keep you around.
  He told you he had plan for you. You dreaded whatever he plan for you. But you were hopeless, you couldn't even save yourself. You hated your weakness.
  With each passing months, you lose hope to ever reunited again with your Doctor. Is she even still your Doctor? Will she still even want you back? You don't know.
  The Master kept taunting you, making you cry like a baby. He sometimes look at you with disgust and yet he continue to keep you. You have no idea why.
  7777
  The Master showed you Gallifrey. He was proud to show his homeland. And then he locked you back into his Tardis.
  When he returned, he was in deranged state, making you scared and very jumpy as he raged at the console and at the world.
  7777
  You were mute now, hardly talk at all. The Master had forced a telepathic bond with you after he experimented with you. It was scary and painful, making you wish for death instead.
  You hated him but even all of your emotions slowly muted into defeaning silence.
  One day, he told you that he has set his plan for the Doctor in motion. He curiously observed you to see your reaction.
  You stared at him blankly.
  He seemed satisfied. He cupped your face. "You will be my last surprise for the Doctor." He said as he caressed your cheek gently. "If everything going as I planned, you will soon see her."
  You didn't say anything.
  7777
  You finally get to reunite with the Doctor. The Master even dressed you up for the occasion.
  For the first time, as you laid eyes on the Doctor, some of your emotion resurfaced.
   "I didn't know where you were. She was the only one there. I didn't know what to do...so I just did what he told me." You said in a hoarse and trembling voice.
  The Doctor is confused, trying to make sense what you are saying before she realized that you are talking about Missy back in the mondas ship. Her mouth dropped open in horror at what you are implying. 
  You must have been with Missy when she regenerated. Had she left you under the Master's mercy all this time? The Doctor thought you perished in that ship like everyone else. Like Bill. Like Nardole.
  Her hearts ached as she recalled the Testimony Project and how she got to meet Bill and Nardole, even Clara one last time. But she never did met you. At the time she thought you were simply mad at her previous version for lying and refused to show yourself to him.
  She recalled the look Bill and Nardole exchanged when he asked them about you. Did they know that you survived?
  "Where is he?" The Doctor asked you.
  "Right here." The Master appeared with his CyberMaster in tow.
  The Doctor realized she was surrounded.
  "How do you like your surprise, Doctor?" The Master gleefully asked.
  The Doctor glared at him. "What have you done to her?"
  The Master turned to you and smiled. "Come here, (name)."
  To the Doctor's horror, you obeyed him without hesitation.
  "See? I take care of your pet, Doctor, the one you abandoned for death." He said as he cupped your chin playfully. "We even saved each other. It was all very...poetic."
  The Doctor flinched with guilt at the thought that she did abandon you without a thought that you could possibly survive.
  The Master then started bragging about his CyberMaster which he fully intend to use to conquer Earth.
  The Doctor showed him the trigger for the death particle that she is fully intend to use to stop the Master and his army.
  "Would you really use that?" The Master taunted. "Even if it meant you will kill her again?"
  The Doctor flinched again at the mention of you. She glanced up at you and at the lost expression on your face. Her hearts ached for you. She long to envelop you in her embrace, to take you away from the Master and back in her Tardis to keep you safe. But she knew she had to stop the Master first and foremost.
  "I can't risk you to lay waste on the universe." The Doctor said firmly as she gripped tight the trigger.
  The Master looked ecstatic at her answer. "Do it then. Do it. Come on and do it. Save the universe."
  You remained silent throughout the exchange between the Doctor and the Master.
  The Doctor eventually dropped the trigger, unable to follow through.
  The Master look disappointed, promising to lay waste the universe, thanks to her weakness.
  He turned toward you. "Come along, (name)."
  You flinched. You stared at the Doctor longingly before hesitantly took a step toward the Master.
  The Doctor moved quicker to try to stop you. "Leave her here. You have no use of her."
  The Master look amused. "Is that so? I'm actually quite fond of her. After all, she is the first face this face saw. You know how it is, Doctor, she is mine now."
  The Doctor glared at him. "She is not yours!"
  The Master rolled his eyes and commanded you to come to her.
  At the time, Ko Sharmus suddenly appeared, picked up the trigger.
  The Doctor quickly grabbed you as Ko Sharmus stepped toward the Master showing that he will pull the trigger.
  The Doctor pulled you into her arms and ran as Ko Sharmus told her too before pulling the trigger.
  7777
  You and the Doctor were inside a Tardis but not the Doctor's.
  After she flew the Tardis to safety, she turned to you to check you for injury. She smiled elatedly at you but the smile slide off her face immediately.
  You couldn't believe that you had escaped the Master. As you glanced at the Doctor and saw her slowly smile adorably at you, you blacked out.
  The Doctor barely able to catch your fallen body. She pulled her sonic screwdriver to scan you. Dread filled her hearts as she realized you had fallen into a coma.
  7777
  In the Tardis medbay, the Doctor stared at the result of your medical scan. There is nothing physically wrong with you.
  The Doctor had no choice but to go inside your mind without consent to investigate what's wrong with you.
  She was horrified to know that you were bonded to the Master. The Master had made it so your mind can't function if you are too far from him.
  You were sealed within the deep corner of your mind unable to get out, unable to do anything but hover in the corner, afraid and lost.
  The Doctor couldn't get through you at all. But she saw the remnant of message from the Master.
  "Did you really think I would let you have a happy ending, Doctor?" The Master said cruelly. "She is mine. If you want her back, you simply have to give her back to me and she will be good as new."
  The Doctor scoffed at him. "You are insane if you think I would let you anywhere near her again."
  "You can't keep her from me, Doctor. I have make sure that she could never hid from me."
  The Doctor realized the truth in what the Master said. You would never be safe from him. So there is only two thing she can do.
  She will have to forcefully break the bond between you and the Master which will hurt both you and the Master a great deal but at least you will be safe from him.
  Also, she will have to fix the damage in your mind courtesy of the Master but the damage is too much and she has to wipe your memories of the Master and of everything pertaining the Doctor. 
  The Master must have known that the Doctor would do exactly that. "Typical. You won't even give her any choice, would you?"
  The Doctor glared at him in fury. "You are the one who did this to her. You hurt her. You broke her." She yelled at him. "I will not let you get to her anymore."
  As she made up her mind, she focused on psychic attack on the bond. She winced as you screamed in pain. The Master also screamed but mostly cursing the Doctor.
  She muttered apologies to you over and over again as her eyes shimmered in tears.
  She put her hands over both side of your face and started to erase everything about the Doctor and the Master.
  Tears fell on your cheeks as the Doctor purged the last memories of the person you love from your mind.
  7777
  The Doctor had you covered in long coat covering yourself from head to toes. She waited for someone patiently as she carried you in her arms. You were still unconscious.
  "Doctor."
  "Jack."
  "Love the new face. You look good, Doctor."
  The Doctor didn't reply.
  "Is that her?"
  She nodded. "Keep her safe, Jack. Give her new identity and take care to make sure that she will have everything she need."
  "Of course."
  The Doctor glanced at your sleeping face mournfully. "She is not safe with me or anywhere near me. The Master is after her."
  Jack's eyes widened. "The Master is alive?"
  The Doctor nodded.
  "What could he possibly want with her?"
  "The Master is insane as you know. He has obsession with her because she saved him before he regenerated and she is the first face he saw after he regenerated." The Doctor said. "I had to erase everything she know of me and the Master. It was the only way to keep her safe."
  Jack glanced at the Doctor, noticing how miserable she look. "Don't worry, Doctor, I will personally make sure she will be safe."
  "Thank you, Jack. I owe you."
  Jack took you in his arms gently, careful not to wake you.
  The Doctor released you reluctantly to Jack. She took one last look at your face before steeling herself. She turned around and left without looking back.
   You were half-awake as you saw a woman walking away from you and for some reason, your heart ached but sleep took over you again and with that, you forgot.

Something that I’m realizing now that I’m trying to get back into Spider-Man comics is that they’ve literally... never... rebooted the character... or the universe... and it sucks
It really sucks
I love reading all the prologues to the Spider-Verse comics because they’re all these self-contained stories in different genres with the same or similar characters, but like. They’re all their own self-contained stories. But then the moment they end, and some universe-traveling Spider-Man shows up, everything gets worse and more boring and they start referencing half a century’s worth of comic history that has no bearing on the plot
Marvel has the fucking benefit of having all these separate worlds and universes to fall back on, but instead of establishing one for a decade or so as their main squeeze before letting it fall to the side and then booting up a new one or returning to an old one, they just. Bring it all back to Earth-616. And that’s garbage.
Earth-616 is a convoluted MESS of retcons in which the timeline is constantly, rapidly scooting up to match our own. My basic impression is that, like... if you go back and read the very beginning of the original Amazing Spider-Man comics, for example, they start out in the 60s, but that story is still canon today, but today’s canon is set in the 2010s, so both are true at the same time. That’s the worst. Just reset your universe. Keep resetting it.
Establish different universes but don’t feed them into each other outside of major events, if you even want to. Some of those events shouldn’t even necessarily be canon to the overall continuity. Have... let’s say Earth-1111, treat it as a reboot, tell stories across all your properties there for 5-10, maybe 15 years. Build up a big over-arching plotline for all your major characters and properties, then end it on a HUGE event, and then that’s the end. Start Earth-2222, and do the same thing there.
Each reboot gives the opportunity to focus on different characters, tell varying stories, and hell, you could even skip over the origin stories in most of them unless there are major, relevant changes. This is essentially what the MCU and Insomniac’s Spider-Man game did, and why they’re so damn good; they give you a window into the universe that feels genuine and boasts a deep love and affection for the characters and the lore, without being bogged down with half a century of history and having to CONSTANTLY reference issues from the 60s and 70s).
Earth-3333 could be more mystical; Doctor Strange could lead the Avengers, sorcerers could be more common, magic plays a larger role. Earth-4444 could be weighted heavily toward the Fantastic 4, with the Avengers taking a backseat. Universe doesn’t work out, fans aren’t responding? Wrap it up and move on. Have writers attached to the universe, or who want to keep telling stories in a universe you moved on from? Let them!!! Write a Punisher series set in Earth-5555 where Miles Morales watched Peter Parker die and Magneto leads the X-Men, even though the current canon has moved on to Earth-7777; as long as you put “Earth-5555″ on the cover and have a page saying what else is in that universe, you’re good, dude!
Obviously these numbers are stupid and I’m just using them as placeholders but hopefully you take my meaning. It’s just so stupid to keep feeding everything back into the main continuity. Every comic I try to read is just full of so much SHIT I have to actively ignore or else I either fall into a rabbit hole or get overwhelmed. I’m not into it. It’s annoying as hell.
But every once and a while I find a gem that relies on no backstory other than a basic understanding of the character’s history and it’s SO good. I’m reading the Spider-Man Clone Saga comic from 2009-10 and the basic premise is a retelling of the Clone Saga from the 90s which was FAMOUSLY terrible and overly convoluted, but like... trimming all the fat and keeping it to 6 issues instead, instead of the original Clone Saga which can now be read in SIX GRAPHIC NOVELS of SEVERAL HUNDRED PAGES EACH which follow up on backstory spanning DECADES that aren’t included in the books. It’s insane. It’s absolutely fucking insane, and it’s daunting, and it’s ridiculous, and no one should have to deal with this.
It also just... really seems to spit in the face of what Marvel Comics are? DC is famous for its heroes being these larger-than-life statuesque gods, but Marvel has always tried to feel much more down to earth (I mean, despite the cosmic shit, but when that comes up it’s either written more humanistically or it’s emphasized to be specifically in contrast to the down-to-earth nature of the heroes... usually, or y’know, ideally). Characters like Super Man and Wonder Woman and Batman, I can totally see having half a century of backstory, because these characters are just like that!
I dunno, I’m just tired of going out of my way to try to read something self-contained and literally 90% of the first issue is a “PREVIOUSLY ON” segment and then even past that issue they keep constantly trying to recap. It’s like starting a new show that you didn’t know was a prequel to one you’ve never watched, but it is, and then they spend the WHOLE FUCKING TIME talking about shit that happened in that show in a very boring, matter-of-factly way. Like, who likes this? Who enjoys reading this? It’s not the new people, because it’s jarring and overwhelming and completely takes away from the story, and by the time anything actually happens, it’s lost you. It can’t be the regulars, either, because they already know this shit, and while yes, a brief recap is nice, why are you wasting so much time doing it in the comic itself instead of very briefly on the first page?
I dunno. Comics are whack and I never remember that until I try to actually read them, and then I just spend so much of my time frustrated, floundering around the internet trying to find something better worth my time.
I think my ultimate point here is that, this is why Insomniac’s Spider-Man PS4 is so damn good. It’s essentially a reboot that keeps the universe clean and simple, but still has a vast amount of layers that could be explored at any minute. It begins in medias res with a cast of characters we’re familiar with, but are slightly different, and it takes the time to reintroduce them to us, but like, effectively and naturally, not like we’re confused idiots. It’s a universe with a million unexplored corners that exist if you want to follow them, but they aren’t necessary to the plot. Anything you need to know is explained organically through expertly-utilized exposition or just simply through the environment or character dynamics or the simple ways in which people talk to one another.
Wouldn’t it be nice to read comics like that? Wouldn’t it?!

DWTS24: WEEK 1 (Lo Recaps)
WHAT IS UP YOU DANCE-LOVING BASTARDS? I WAS IN A CAR DURING THE PREMIERE TRAVELING HOME 13 HOURS FROM THE GODDAMN HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH AND ALAS, HERE I SIT TO TYPE THIS VERY POST. YOU ASKED FOR WEEKLY RECAPS, I WAS FLATTERED AND THEREFORE FELT OBLIGATED, AND NOW I’M GOING TO GET THIS DONE SO I CAN DRINK A DR. PEPPER AND TAKE MY PILLS LIKE THE 80 YEAR OLD I REALLY AM INSIDE. JESUS CHRIST, IT’S SEASON 24.
THIS RECAP STARTS RIGHT NOW.
 NORMANI AND VAL. QUICKSTEP. 7677=27/40.
Instantly, she’s the first one out of the gate so you know she’s gonna be lowballed. What shocked me was just how low they went- that was a theme of the entire night for me, actually. I thought for sure we’d see some 8s and maybe one or two 7s at most. I liked it, myself. Fun, fast paced, and it seemed to match her personality and turn a stuffy quickstep into something cool and funky to bring her fanbase into the show. I thought her form was pretty damn good and considering that Val doesn’t water shit down, Normani held her own.
NANCY AND ARTEM. VIENESSE WALTZ. 7777=28/40.
This was pretty much what I expected. It was nice, it was fairly clean and pretty and an awesome starting point. Artem riding in shirtless on a Zamboni and making them both super uncomfortable was a highlight of the night for me. On a completely different note, a lot of people are comparing Nancy her to fellow Olympic skaters and DWTS champions Meryl Davis and Kristi Yamaguchi. This is the portion of the review where I share why I find this to be complete and utter bullshit: Number one, Meryl is/was an ice dancer and competed her entire life with not only a male partner, but the same male partner. Big difference. Next! Number 2. Kristi yes, did compete as a singles skater as well and yes, is only a mere 2 years younger than Nancy. HOWEVER. THE KEY FACTOR HERE IS THAT KRISTI COMPETED ON SEASON 6 OF THIS STUPID SHOW. IN 2008. NINE DAMN YEARS AGO. If my math is correct (which is probably isn’t) she won when she was around 34 years old. Nancy is 45. AGE IS A FACTOR. IT ISN’T AGEISM, IT’S FACT. GIVE THE WOMAN A BREAK. I thought she looked nervous as hell, but really lovely. I think now that she’s got the jitters out, she’ll only go up.
CHRIS AND WITNEY. CHA CHA. 5444=17/40.
He… oh my lord. Don’t get me wrong, he seems nice enough. But aside from the obvious, things got so awkward after it was over and it was just uncomfortable. I think he was trying too hard to be funny and he was so nervous on top of it all and it just all didn’t add up. And god love him, he knew. He knew and them saying it just made it so much worse. The poor guy. I’m leaving it at that. He gave it his best effort and I can never give anyone less than a solid and sincere applause for that. Good for him for doing it.
BONNER AND SHARNA. CHA CHA. 6556=22/40.
Here’s where I walk boldly in front of the firing squad and take my stance without shame. You all know how much I hate a showmance when it’s not my own idea, and DWTS overdoes them like the blackened fish thing on the menu I saw on vacation. He’s insane for what he does, but it makes him happy and I can support that. But I’m already annoyed with this gimmick. If they have the chemistry, we’ll notice, but don’t try to force it just as an attempt to make us forget the obvious eye-fucking last season despite James having a girlfriend. I’m just sayin’. Overall it was alright. It felt a little too Magic Mike for me. He’s stiff and he was off count almost the entire time, which I basically already assumed he would be. He’ll never be great but he looks like Jackson Rathbone and I like how Sharna calls him “Bonnah,” so if they quit with the forced gimmick and just let shit happen naturally I’d probably be the captain of this goddamn ship.  Next.
CHARO AND KEO. SALSA. 6555=21/40.
THIS. WAS. SO GODDAMN FUCKING MUCH BETTER THAN I EVER COULD HAVE DREAMED. She remembered a good portion of the steps, she SOMEWHAT KEPT UP WITH HIM, she’s 66 goddamn years old- GOOD FOR HER. I cannot wait to see the shit Keo has to go through and the wide-eyed gazes he’ll have along the way. For what it was, I honestly can’t complain. Good on you.
NICK AND PETA. CHA CHA. 6666=24/40.
I got so pissed when I watched this, I swear to god, because I really wanted him to suck so bad that I could just rag on him until I was blue in the face but it was ACTUALLY NOT FUCKING BAD AT ALL. HE ACTUALLY HAS A LITTLE BIT OF RHYTHM. Peta is a national treasure, obviously, but this asshole, like… fuck, man. Honestly though, enough of the You’re In Love thing though, because literally NOBODY BELIEVES IT. INCLUDING YOU OR VANESSA. We all get it, we’ll put on our shocked emoji when you suddenly break-up after your contract allotted engagement period is over. You want attention. Just go into porn or something like you’ve still got some dignity and quit being annoying.
Ahh… it’s so good to be back. :D
HEATHER AND MAKS. VIENESSE WALTZ. 7777=28/40.
*singing* Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuullshit. I hate everyone. Go home. I already am home. Thank god, walking almost 30 miles in 4 days damn near killed me. Whatever. You could tell she was surprised and that she was upset not with the scores, but with herself for not getting better scores, which I hate. I’m hoping this is more of a strategy by TPTB for a Progressing Each Week storyline as opposed to Simone’s copycat The Best Since Night One story that mirrors Laurie’s. (No disrespect to Simone- but I’ll get to that later) Anyway, I thought it was amazing. Flawless? No. She was nervous just like everyone else, but she was far more comfortable up there than a lot of the rest and she and Maks looks fucking incredible together. Also she’s a knockout in yellow. I adore her. What else is new? Moving on.
DAVID AND LINDSAY. 7777=28/40.
I’m going to quickly say that it’s horse shit that Heather got the same score as him. BUT STICK WITH ME FOR A MINUTE. Heather was underscored like I under exaggerate when I say I’m kind of a nervous person sometimes, but this guy totally earned those 7s with a heart clap on the back. I was blown away in the best sense of the word. I had no clue who the hell this man is because the only thing I know about baseball is Mike Lawson and Ginny Baker (#Bawson WADDUP FAM) so I went in 100% blank and I really truly did enjoy this performance. I like his partnership with Lindsay, I love his attitude, and to top it all off he actually appears to be somewhat capable. I’m for it and look forward to more. YES.
ERIKA AND GLEB. SALSA. 6666=24/40.
Again, I thought she was lowballed. Since they are in no way alike, obviously I will now compare her to Amber Rose from last season, who I also thought would be pretty comfortable in front of the camera and shaking her booty like a boss if nothing else. Except Erika actually DID IT. She went out there and didn’t hold back and IT MADE A DIFFERENCE IN THE PERFORMANCE. Did she know every single step? Nope. Was her form flawless? Nope. Could you tell she was nervous? Yup. Did she make plenty of mistakes? Absolutely. But she sold it and that makes all the difference. I like her. I like her hair. I like her sass. “Who doesn’t wake up every day wanting to win in life? You gotta put these people on notice. I’M HERE. HI.” Apparently I love the raunchy because I love it. Bring it fucking on, girlfriend. Werk.
RASHAD AND EMMA. CHA CHA 8788=31/40.
Good? Yes. A surprise? Kind of, considering he’s another athelete and therefore blank slate for me. Worthy of second place? Debatable. Worthy of beating out some of his competition like he did on the leaderboard? No. I’m sorry but no. He seems like a lot of fun and like a pretty nice guy, so I’m definitely a million times more willing to try than I was with Antonio or Von or Calvin because Rashad is far more inviting and approachable and easier to connect with. I’m optimistic. And congrats to Emma for finally getting a hunk to dance with! Enjoy the eye candy, girl! Apparently your and Sasha’s wedding gift is neither of you getting a shitty partner this season. I approve.
MR. T  AND KYM. CHA CHA. 5555=20/40.
….It was so sweet to see Robert in the audience. They’re very cute. And Mr. T… played the part well. And he… had a great costume. And he really tried. But worth a better score than Chris? Eeeeeeehhh. Not lower, of course, but 3 points higher? Really? Let’s all call a spade a spade, quit with the catchphrase, and move on with our lives, yeah?
SIMONE AND SASHA. TANGO. 8888=24/40.
…sigh. Okay. Let me explain this. I love her. Of course I love her. How could you not? She’s adorable. She’s a little awkward, kinda shy, super sweet, giggly, giant grin, complete doll that has skills for days. Her partnership with Sasha is incredible and she lights up the room. ….but other than her being 19 instead of 16…. It’s not even that I’m against her story, which I realize she can’t control regardless, but that’s not it anyway. It’s just that it was LAST DAMN SEASON. You have to put a break between them or it’s just unfair to everyone involved. And I’m going to be mad all season on her and Sasha’s behalf because of it, and I’m gonna be pissed as hell when all of her fans throw a royal fit in three months when she loses. Because I told you so. Someone get me a goddamn job at ABC, I’ll have this thing running like a well oiled machine within a few weeks. With Derek and Brooke gone, aside from Carrie Ann and the singers, the worst of the worst have already been tossed out on their ass. I’LL MAKE THIS PLACE WORTH MILLIONS, MILLIONS I TELL YA.
Okay, that’s it. I’m not even proofing this shit. I’m tired.
HMU on social media. @lauthom93 because I’m cool. The end.
Love, hugs, and my middle finger because it’s my life and my future employers hopefully never discover this blog,
Dueces.

Cosmic Love Nightmare
Fandom: Doctor Who
Pairing: Whittaker!Master x Reader, 13th Doctor x Reader
Summary: DW AU. You and the Master are definition of bad romance. The Doctor is determined to separate the two of you.
Warning: ooc, use of violence, mention of rape, murder, bad moral, depression, dark!reader, etc
 A/N: So, lately, I have been reading plenty fan fiction about Whittaker!Master and Dhawan!Doctor and I love each one of them. I got inspired to write one too.
I’m sorry for the quality of the language as English is not my first language so you will probably get a bit or a lot of headache. So, I’m not sure about this fic, I hope you all enjoy reading it? And if you do like it, please like/comment.
   The Hybrid.
 A Galiifreyan prophecy that predicted that a hybrid creature of a crossbred from two warrior races would stand over the ruins of Gallifrey and unravel web of time, breaking a billion billion hearts to heal its own.
 “Hybrid bla bla bla...” The Master said with a mocking tone as she rolled her eyes.
 I frowned. “And...what? The other Time Lords think that hybrid thing is us?”
 The Master shrugged her shoulder. “Look around.” She said. “Here we are standing in a ruin of a planet.”
 We stood on top of a cliff with the best view of the ruination.
 “Not Gallifrey though.” I said with a shrug. “This is just a general chaos.”
 She smiled as she come closer to me and whispered, “Only you would call the ruin of planet a general chaos.”
 I shrugged. “If we didn’t do it, someone else would.” I said with a careless tone. “I’m not the only one who called it general chaos. You did it too.”
 The Master grinned and did a dramatic twirling. “I know. Let’s call ourselves team Hybrid from now on.” She said.
 As if on cue, they could hear a distant echo of groaning Tardis of the Doctor.
 I sighed. “And here come team Tardis.”
The Master sighed dramatically just as a man walked toward us followed by his three companions. “Oh, Doctor, have you come to join the party?”
 “Stop it. Both of you, stop this nonsense right now!” The Doctor yelled in fury.
 “But where is the fun in that?” The Master said with adorable pout.
 I watched the interaction between those two. Apparently, they have been dancing around like this since forever with the everlasting theme of savior-villain. I let them have their moment and then turned away to watch with fascination the fiery ruin before me.
 “How could you stand with her, (name)?” Yaz suddenly called out to me.
 I rolled my eyes. I have no interest in defending myself to a bunch of goodie-good. I shushed her much to her dismay. But she didn’t get the hint and stepped forward toward me, demanding my attention. What a foolish bitch. The only reason she still standing is because I’m currently in a good mood and also the Master told me not to harm the Doctor’s companion directly. She warned me that the Doctor is a goodie-good but he is also dangerous when it come to the protection of his companion.
 “Don’t come any closer. I won’t be held responsible for hurting you if you are within distance for me to break your...” I looked her up and down with disdain. “...well, everything...” I said with a fake sweet smile.
 Yaz still opened her mouth to blabber but thankfully, Ryan and Graham pulled her away from me immediately. They knew I am a mutant, that I am very strong, I could break their bones without breaking a sweat. They also knew that I am a killer and a monster. Who else would join the Master in her quest for chaos?
 I sighed. I got bored already. “Master, can we just go? This is getting boring...”
 The Master and the Doctor stopped their banter and glanced at me.
 The Master gave me a fond smile before stepped forward toward me but was stopped when the Doctor gripped her wrist.
 “Master, please...” The Doctor begged. “The way you are going right now...Gallifrey will come for you and her...”
 “Doctor, are you worried for us or are you worried me and (name) will destroy your precious Gallifrey, Mr President, dear?” The Master pulled her wrist out of his hold and mockingly took a bow at him.
 The Doctor groaned in frustration.
 The Master grinned mischievously as she walked backward and then turned around to face me. She pulled me to her and kissed me hard.
 I smiled into the kiss. From the corner of my eyes, I saw the companion of the Doctor making a disgusted face at the sight of us kissing.
 “Come on then, my dear, our work here is done.” She said.
 “I’m sorry.” The Doctor suddenly said.
 We ignored him as we walked away from them. I was about to put on coordinates on my vortex manipulator that would get us back to the Master’s Tardis but stopped when the next thing he said gave me chill.
 “But I can’t let you two be together any longer.” The Doctor said.
 I turned around and growled at him for the threat on us.
 The Master stopped me and turned to glare at the Doctor. “And how are you going to stop us?”
 Yaz suddenly grabbed me and put some bracelet on my wrist. I didn’t expect that so I have no way to stop it. She is quick to release me and took a few steps away from me before I could attack her.
 “Master!” I yelled when I realized I couldn’t get the bracelet off me.
 The Master turned to look at me and at the bracelet just as the Doctor raised his sonic screwdriver toward me, activating the bracelet. Her eyes widened as she realized something. “Nooo!” she yelled as she tried to reach me but before she could, I vanished in a blip.
 The Master fell into the ground in shock then she turned to look at the Doctor. “What have you done, Doctor? Where did you send her?”
 The Doctor actually looked almost sorry but he was calm. “(name) is safe. I just send her faraway from here, to a place not of this universe, where you can never reach out...”
 The Master stood as she glared at him. “Oh, you just watch me, Doctor.” Her eyes blazed in fury.
 7777
 I fell into the ground and immediately puke. Cold sweat covered my face. I blinked my eyes and tried to focus on the surrounding.
 I was in a park on Earth...I think? But something is wrong. The sky...the color is a bit off and the oxygen here just not the same as I used to. The Master once told me in passing about alternate universes where some things were different and others remained the same. I dreaded the thought that damn Doctor actually would go this far in order to separate me from the Master.
 The Master. My heart felt like it was about to shatter. I was hoping to hear her voice right about now. But I realized I was alone. I glanced at the cursed bracelet on my wrist. To my surprise, the bracelet fell off my wrist easily this time as if it knew it already finished its purpose. I growled angrily. I begrudgingly picked up the offending item, hoping to figure out a way back using it. But I am not a genius like the Time Lords, hell, not even a human genius. I am just me, a mutant, and a result of human experimentation gone wrong.
 I fingered the vortex manipulator on my other wrist and to my great frustration, it was broken. Not that the vortex manipulator would be much use, it can’t be used to travel to another alternate universe.
 I prayed I was wrong, that I wasn’t in some alternate universe. My hope got smashed when I confirmed my worst fear as I pick up the newspaper from the nearby seller.
 I made a vow though that I would do everything in my power to return my beloved, the Master. I have to find some calibre genius to use to figure out this dilemma. I wonder if I should track down the version of the Master in this world but decided against it until further investigation.
 “Just you wait, Master, nothing can separate us...” I whispered.
     Six months later...
 Six painful months later, I was still stuck in this alternate earth. I have to work to support myself. I worked in a diner somewhere in New York. I went my daily life with annoyance. It was a miracle I could restrain myself from killing half the idiot people here.
 I lay on my dirty bed inside my small and dirty rent room. I raised the vortex manipulator, hoping it would stop being broken already and let me use it to travel off the earth. I growled as I shake the damn thing really hard. To my surprise, it started to make a bleeping sound.
 I moved into a seating position and observed the vortex manipulator. “No way, it works!” I said with a disbelief laugh.
 7777
 Thank God, the vortex manipulator works otherwise I would have loss my sanity and started killing people just for breathing wrong near my vicinity.
 So, what is the first thing I do? I track down a version of myself in this universe. Apparently, the thing that remained the same is the other me being caught and experimented on by the Division.
 Division is an organization who worked outside the law and consists of both alien and human. Their main purpose is to monitor the happening within the universe and sell the information to those who is willing to pay a high price. They are not the good guys, obviously. Their purpose is to create a world that fit their agenda, so, depending on the current agenda; they might step in as the saviour of the people or become the instigator of chaos.
 Their purpose at the time they caught me back in my universe is to create super soldier with the intention to sell them to the highest bidder.
 I was an orphan after I lost my parents in accident. I was nobody, no family, so they thought even if I was missing, no one would truly care. I was taken to be used as an experiment. Luckily, if you can call it that; I was one of the successful experiments. I got super strength. I broke through the restrain in my fit of anger and attacked every last one of my tormentors with my bare hands.
 I was covered in blood from head to toes after I finished with my slaughters. That’s when the Master came into view. She took me in after that, she took care of me and she helped me understand my power and to use it to do the most damage. I love every second of it.
 Of course, at first, I didn’t trust the Master. I almost kill her that first time but something she said made me let her go and it helped that my rage already subsided by then, enough for me to see reason. I demanded to be left alone and she did for the most part. She gained my trust after she saved me when I was taken by surprise and ambushed by Division’s soldiers. 
 She saved me even though I almost strangle her to death the first time we met. She reasoned with me that she is on my side. She gave me my space albeit with a lot of mocking on her part. Once I let her in, she showed me everything, taught me everything I need to know to survive and to fight back. I knew she is not on a side of good, she told me so, but thanks to her, I craved for chaos as she did after she show me the joy of ruining lives. They have ruined mine so why shouldn’t I ruin others too?
 The Doctor found me and wanted to take me in his care. The Master allowed him to take me just so we could play a nasty game with him and his companion. That’s how I knew the Doctor and his stupid fam. Apparently, I passed the test from the Master regarding whether I would be influenced by the goodness of the Doctor.
 The Doctor warned me that the Master is only using me, that she didn't really care about me. But he didn't know us. I have enough confident after the time we spent together to believe that the Master did care for me. I didn't know if she loves me but I didn't mind it for now. I love how she kissed me hard and flirted with me. She made me happy and that's what matters.
 Anyway, back at present time, the base where the other me is imprisoned, located in the same place as my past so, sneaking my way into the base is quite easy. I disguised myself and I located the other me, she was restrained and looked absolutely pathetic. Do I want to rescue her? But I would like to know if she is truly the same as me? Will she gain super strength too?
 I thought about the Master and wonder what I should do. I think she would want me to mess the version of the Doctor here. So I made a plan to get the Doctor here and rescue the other me and the others. The Master taught me how to cheat with psychic paper. I was able to send SOS signal toward what I hopefully into the Doctor’s psychic paper. Now I only have to wait for the goodie-good team to arrive.
 7777
 I was floored when I saw the version of the Doctor here. I recognized her companion, the annoying fam I remembered back in my universe. But the Doctor...she has my beloved’s face, she has the Master’s face! How is that even possible? I confirmed her identity when I heard Yaz called her the Doctor. Ugh, I’m going to barf. And what kind of clothes she is wearing? Glad to know every version of the Doctor in universe apparently have bad taste in fashion. Seriously. My beloved Master dressed better than her!
 Wait, if she is the Doctor, then the man who is called the Doctor back in my universe would be...the Master over here? Ugh, what kind of twisted world is this?!
 As predicted, once team Tardis found out about the human experiment going on inside the base, they set their goodie-good shoes to set them free. The Doctor even gave whoever in charge of the base a firm oncoming storm talk.
 I watched in secret as the Doctor interacts with the other me. The other me looked very grateful to be rescued. The Doctor took all patients to the best hospital in galaxy. They even stick around for a while to observe the damage on the patients.
 That’s when I made my way to the room where the other me currently lying in bed peacefully. She woke up when she noticed someone in the room and her eyes widened in shock when she saw me.
 I grinned viciously. “Hello, me.” I said as I pulled the machinery that monitor her heartbeat off. It wouldn’t do to alert the others that I was here.
 “What?”
 “Goodbye, me.” I said flatly as I grabbed a pillow and pushed it to cover her entire face rendering her unable to breathe. Easily, I removed her body and dumped it somewhere where no one would find for a long while. I took her place and get into the bed and put the machinery back on me.
 Not long after, a nurse came in for my check-up and to draw some blood. The result of that blood test would surely get the Doctor to come and see me. The Doctor can’t resist mystery so she will definitely want to talk to me.
 Mission to infiltrate the Doctor’s inner circle is now commencing.
  7777
 All I have to do next is put on doe eyes and pretend to be surprise to suddenly have super strength and faked a mini freak-out. I purposely broke everything in sight in my total panic and acted as if I didn’t mean to. It wasn’t hard to do. I smiled as I remembered my past. I once got amnesiac and forgot about my power and did exactly that, breaking stuff without meaning too. The Master told me I was very adorable and very damsel in distress-like. But she was glad when I finally got my memory back because she can't stand that version of me who was stupidly innocent.
 So, now I just have to pretend I didn’t know my own strength. As predicted, the Doctor invited me to travel with her on board of the Tardis. She said she will help me understand my power and if there is a way to cure it off me in case I didn’t want the power. I got a bio damper on my person to hide the void stuff that the Master once told me someone who have crossed on alternate universe will have. I can't allow the Doctor to find out that I was not of this universe.
 Yaz, Ryan and Graham are very welcoming and friendly. They kept sending me a look of pity every time I told them about the torture that the Division put me through. Since it really did happened to me, I didn't have to fake the emotion regarding it. 
 The Doctor, though, seemed very upset. I could see the dark look passed her expression for a few seconds and on that few seconds; I almost thought she is my beloved. The Master once told me about the Doctor's dark side and should he ever give in, he will be the cruelest villain in the whole universe. I must admit I'm curious about the Doctor's dark side but on this version of the Doctor, the one who has my beloved's face.
 The Master, I wonder how she is doing back in our universe. Did she still trying to get me back? She has to, right? She has yet to grow bored of me. I'm the best companion she could ever have. My heart aches for her. Seeing this version of the Doctor certainly didn't help. 
 Sometimes I want to kiss the Doctor whenever she is being adorable, then next thing I know, I just want to punch her and claw her stupid face whenever she is being too sunshiny for me. Why did she has to have the Master's face? 
 She made my life difficult because sometimes I could have believe she is a better version of the Master, one that might be capable to love me properly. But I know better. I am a monster and the only one who could ever love someone like me would only be someone who is as mess up in the head as me, like the Master, one could hope. Even then, I still don't know what exactly I am to her. We were not exactly traditional couple. The circumstance of our meeting is shaky at best. 
 I clawed at my arms till I drew blood at the thought I almost got swayed by the goodness that is the Doctor. If the Master knew, she would be disgusted with me. 
 7777
 We went to a random planet on the Doctor's whim. Next thing I knew, the fam and me were taken hostage by the royal family in order to ensure the Doctor's cooperation. I was ecstatic to see the oncoming storm in action. I was planning to let thing unfold to see what is going to happen.
 And then this royal bastard has to go be an ass-hat. He went after Yaz for being mouthy. Stupid bitch. He tried to rape her. And he was going to do it in front of us too. I snapped, enough said. I must have black out for a bit because I woke up drenched in blood in a corridor littered with mangled corpses. And the companions were understandably decided to keep their distance from me. They were afraid of me.
 Well, this is suck. I hated it when my fit of rage turned me into a basic hulk. I have no control. It was a miracle that the Doctor's companions survive unharmed during my raging period. This kind of ruined my plan to stay the innocent companion for a while. Will the Doctor kick me out of the Tardis now that I did this? Surely, she would want to keep her companion safe from me. But I have to stay with the Doctor until I could figure out to use her to get back to the Master. What do I do now?
 I must still in haze from the blood lust that I didn't realize the Doctor has bent her knees in front of me, uncaring that her clothes will be littered in blood. She was fussing over me. She pulled her sonic screwdriver to scan me. She look relieved upon realizing I was unharmed and that relief immediately turned to horror when she realized what exactly I have done. The companion steered clear of me. They cautioned the Doctor to do the same. But the Doctor ignored them and gently shaking me out of my stupor. 
 She thought I was in shock and I played along. I was mostly pissed at my out of control rage. And then, I remembered when I have that royal ass-hat's neck gripped tight within my hand, I saw the Master, or at least, a hallucination of sort.
 "I love it when you are feeling murderous, dear." She said with a wink. "Go ahead, you know you want to. Make it bloody. Make him suffer. I knew you always had a weakness for these types of bad guys..."
 She was right. I would kill indiscriminately if I have to and if she asked me to. But rapists and torturers pissed me off greatly, the Master said I suffered traumatic experience with that sort of thing, which make me lose my shit whenever I come across those types. I honestly didn't quite remember the trauma though. I took very great pleasure in torturing and killing them. The man was begging me to release him but I ignored him. I would rather listen to my beloved.
 "Though, I'm kind of worry that you are beginning to be a softie, dear. Staying with the Doctor would do that to you. Are you now good, my dear?"
 I growled at that.
 "Was it because she has my face? Did she make you want to be a good girl?" She asked teasingly.
 I tightened my grip on the man's neck.
 "Prove it then. Kill him. Kill his royal family and his soldiers. Make it bloody rain, dear." The Master grinned as she urged me to surrender to my blood lust. "Show me a bad girl."
 I could distinctly hear the companion saying something to me but I ignored them. I lost my shit afterward.
 7777
 The Doctor covered up my crime. I would have thought the goodie-good would surrender me to authority. She said she forgives me. She knew I didn't mean to do it. Yaz did say I did it to save her from being raped...somewhat. Even though she can't explain why I lost my shit and gone on a killing spree.
 I faked a panic attack and asked to be left alone after I cleaned myself off all the blood. I even cried telling them that I was a monster and I deserved to die and sobbing stuff like that. As predicted, the Doctor and companion tried to calm me down and reassured me that I am a good person at heart. I almost snorted at that. Almost. I purposely being dramatic and said I have to leave the Tardis now. The Doctor won't let me go though. I think she wanted to keep an eye on me. Ugh, now I have to be extra careful around her. I hope I could get back to my universe soon. This universe is suck and I miss the Master so much.
 In the end, all ended well, I remained on board of the Tardis. Though, the dynamic is changed now that they were wary of me. It was like they were waiting for me to lose my sanity again and go on a random killing spree. But I remained angelic for display. I acted with hesitation and wary of leaving the safety of the Tardis. The Doctor promised me she would keep an eye on me and made sure I will be okay for the duration of our next adventure.
 7777
 I purposely put myself in danger in order to rescue the Doctor during one of our routine adventure. I did it to establish reputation within the Doctor's circle that I could be redeemed or whatever. At least, that is what I said to convince myself. It was her face, my beloved’s face that made me want to save her. For a second, I forgot that she was not the Master and I didn't want her to get hurt so, I jumped into a line of fire to save her. That is what happened. No more.
 The Doctor kept giving me a look I can't decipher, once I was on board of the Tardis, resting in the med-bay, after she treated my injuries. She was upset that I risk my life for her; that I could tell. Well, that won't happen again, pal, don't worry!!
 7777
 Oh, this is bullshit. Of all the thing that could happen to me, I had to get ambushed by the Division. They somehow heard that the experiment on 'me' was successful and now they wanted to capture me for their own gain. But they were prepared. They slapped a cuff that somehow damper my ability. I was helpless and under their mercy much to my annoyance.
 And then I saw her. Sonya. I knew her back in my universe. During captivity, we became friend. But, she was one of the failure subjects and she got disposed as a result. But, this Sonya...she has power. She can control mind and bitch is trying to control my mind. Well, shit! Apparently, the Division has got to her earlier in this universe and she has become their lap dog. I saw the collar she wears though. I recognized the collar back in my universe. It has a calming effect and a bomb encased within to ensure the subjects' cooperation. They put one on me here too. Double shit!
 The Doctor and companion have no idea who captured me but I have faith that the Doctor will figure it out. She is smart, isn't she? She will know and hopefully come to my rescue soon before they turn me into mindless pet of the Division. 
 Back in my universe, the Master made it a point to invade my mind once I deemed her okay. She said she wanted to make sure I would be ready in case someone or heck, maybe even the Doctor, tried to get inside my mind to make me agreeable to whoever. She taught me to put a block on my mind. I was very grateful for her lessons now. Sonya is hilariously frustrated because she can't remove the block in my mind. But, I could tell she is very powerful. It would only be a matter of time before she breaks into my mind. I can't afford that. She could outed my true identity. If only I have my power, I would have snapped her neck in an instant.
 It finally happened. She broke through the block. I immediately pushed my memory of being friend with the Sonya of my universe. Sonya look confused. I showed her my devastation when the Division took my Sonya away. I showed her the experiments on me and how I lost my control and killed most of Division's people on the base back then.
 "You...are not (name)." She said. "What happened to the real (name)?"
 I showed her my memory of killing the other me.
 She stared at me as if I was crazy. "Why would you do that?"
 I pictured the face of the Doctor and my intention with her. "I want to go home..." I finally whispered.
 'You...are really not from this universe?' She asked telepathically.
 I nodded and I said some stuff to her from within my mind so that no one can hear. 'But you can't tell anyone...' I begged. 'Please help me. Don't let Division control us.'
 Sonya didn't reply for a few seconds. 
 'That collar contain bomb, you know, they lied to you. It does have calming effect but it was also a tracker and a bomb. They can't afford of losing their asset and if the assets become useless or a loose end, they will detonate the bomb.' I explained. 
 'Do you know how to get the collar off?'
 'I know of a way, yeah, but we need a sonic screwdriver. You need to contact the Doctor and tell them where we are.'
 'The Doctor?'
 'She can help us. She will be able to receive your telepathic message too.' I said. 'Do it if you want your freedom, Sonya.'
 Sonya left without a word. I hope what I said convinced her or I have no choice but to serve as the Division's pet. Ugh, I would rather die. I tried to carefully mask my thought of killing Sonya deep down. If she knew, she would not want to help me.
 7777
 Alarm within the base suddenly blared loudly. I sighed in relief. I hope that would be the Doctor coming for me. Shortly after, the Doctor came inside the room where I was restrained. She let me go and I expressed my most sincere gratitude. 
 "Thank you." I whispered weakly. "Thank you for coming back for me."
 The Doctor gave me a sweet smile as she sonic the collar offs me. But I noticed she hesitated for a brief moment to sonic the damn cuff off me. Thank God, she did. "I got your message from Sonya. Nice girl."
 "Where is she?"
 "She is controlling the Division men to leave us alone." The Doctor said. "I really need to do something about this Division."
 But, the Division is like that villain organization from those superheroes movies, hydra something, cut off one head and another grow, like worm or whatever? At least, back in my universe, when I hunted them, they just seemed to come back again one way of another. Even with the help of the Master, I still can't completely get rid of the Division. It would probably be the same over here.
  "So, you already freed her from the collar? I'm glad I was right about you coming back to rescue us." I said with the most angelic look I can muster.
 "Of course, I would. I would never abandon my companion." she said with cheerful tone.
 "Is that what I am? Companion? Not a charity case?" I asked.
 The Doctor glanced at me with an expression I can't comprehend. "I would like to think we are friend now, (name)."
 Shit. That face... My heart just skipped a beat and I didn't like it one bit. I can't be catching feeling for her. I think I will barf.
 7777
 The Doctor took us to a carnival in some planet for holiday. I managed to purposely lose them. I pulled my vortex manipulator intending to take care of the loose end called Sonya.
But, she knew I was coming for her and she warned me not to cross her. What a bitch. She did promise to keep my secret. I warned her back that if she broke the promise, I would come for her and torture the hell out of her.
"You saw within my head. You know what I am capable of." I said.
Sonya nodded. "And you better not come back for me again later. Or I will take control of your mind and make you my puppet." she said.
So, I left her and returned to the carnival. I found the Doctor and companion immediately and apologized for making them worry.
The Doctor pulled me close to her and showed me one of the attractions that caught her attention. She asked me to play with her and so I did. Some people in the carnival thought we are a couple on a date.
7777
 The next time team Tardis got into the usual trouble, it was the Doctor who stepped in and pulled me out of harm way to the point that she was the one who got hurt. I was pissed at the random villain of the weeks and I kind of lost my shit, wanted to go after him. I didn't see his minion drew their weapon toward me but the Doctor did and the goodie-good actually jumped and pushed me out of the way.
What the hell, Doctor? What the hell is wrong with you?? I was pissed at her and worried for her. That last one is new. But I calmed myself down by telling myself she would do the same for the other companion. But, her face, I hate to see her in pain. I kept telling myself it was because she looks like the Master; not because I care for her. The Doctor was okay, though, thankfully.
I suddenly was feeling angry at myself. Did I actually worry for the Doctor? She might have the Master's face but she is NOT the Master, dammit! Get a grip, Me!
 I have to kill someone, right now, preferably, one of the good guys. Better yet, I thought I should leave the Tardis for the time being or maybe forever. The Doctor is no help anyway in figuring a way of home. Though, that was partly my fault because I didn't exactly tell her what I need from her, did I? Shit. Shit.
Perhaps I should try locating the version of the Master in this universe as much as it would make want to puke to ask the face of the Doctor back in my universe. But, with the Master, there is no guarantee he will want to help.
I growled angrily. "This is bullshit!!!" I raged at the world. "Fuck you, Doctor! Fuck you!!" I cursed the Doctor back in my universe. I hope the Master made him pay greatly for what he did to us.
7777
 I left the Tardis. Pretty sure, the companions were relieved that I decided to go, especially Yaz. I was not blind; I knew she has feeling for the Doctor. And, I knew the Doctor also care for her a great deal. Given time, I think they would end up together. I also get that feeling with the Doctor and Yaz back in my universe is the same. Some things were meant to be. Did that mean I robbed the Master of this universe his (name)? Ugh, just no! The other (name) is better off dead.
 The Doctor tried to stop me but I asked her to respect my decision. I spouted bullshit about wanting to find myself. She was reluctant to drop me off but eventually relents.
 So, I left and I decided to take a break from the world for a while. Then I found her, my mother, I meant, the other (name)’s mother. It was purely coincidence to meet her. But I recognized her from the picture I used to keep back in the Master’s tardis. How can she be alive here? If she is alive, the other me actually still got a family, so, why was she captured by the Division?
 I eventually found out that the other (name) ran away from home. Her mother was so happy to see me. She hugged me in tears. I was shocked. I let her took me home.
 I missed my mother. I suddenly felt guilty for killing the other (name). I couldn’t tell her that I wasn’t her daughter. I was weak with nostalgic emotion and all I wanted right now is to be a daughter. So I did exactly that.

 I was happy for a while with my mother until the Division came again for me. This time, they knew the truth that I was not the real (name). They found her body and they were very curious about who I really am.
 During the confrontation, my mother was taken hostage and eventually got killed. And the rest is…you can guess. I lost my shit again and went on a killing spree. I was lucky to get a move before they could slap that power-dampening cuff on me.
 I was in pain. The grief of losing my mother, she wasn’t even my real mother, but it still hurts so badly. So, I did the only thing I could do to lessen the pain, I went hunting for Division and I tear every member of the cursed Division limb to limb. I let the monster out and I didn’t care.
 Like I said before, this version of Division is pretty much the same as back in my universe which mean I knew most of their secret bases. I didn’t always use my bare hands. I used weapon and bomb to lure and destroy them. The Master would be proud of me. The Doctor would frown and be disappointed but who care about her opinion?
 I went to one base and another. Pretty sure, the Doctor would eventually caught wind of what I have been doing and knowing her, she would try to capture and reason with me. Just like the Doctor in my universe once did to me. I didn’t care though. Let her come. But I won’t be letting her capture me. I have an exit strategy, one that I hate to use but I will if I have to. Lately, I felt like giving up altogether. I felt like I could never come home to the Master. I lose hope. What if the Master also given up on me? Why else she still not here to get me?
 To my surprise though, it was Sonya who appeared before me. She was sorry for my loss but she begged me to stop killing.
 “Get out of the way, Sonya! Do not make an enemy of me!” I yelled.
 “If you won’t listen to me, maybe you will listen to her.” She said with a sigh.
 I frowned before realizing that it was a trap as I turned around, the Doctor was already behind me and she was quick to put that damn power-dampening cuff on my wrist.
 I screamed in rage as I attacked her. But I was no longer strong. She easily captured both of my wrists and tried to have me calm down. But I wouldn’t listen. I started sobbing and crying in her arms. Before I knew it, she put her hands over my forehead and I fell into a deep sleep.

 The next time I was awake, I was in a glass prison. Predictable. I was angry as I raged within my prison. I knew I was not on Tardis, the Doctor probably didn’t want me to endanger her precious companions. This is somewhere I don’t know. But the security of the prison is of high quality. I can’t believe it. The Doctor actually put me in a private prison, not a galaxy one that I can be thankful of, but still a prison is a prison. I hated this.
 The Doctor and Sonya eventually came to visit me.
 The Doctor glanced at me in sorrow.
 I observed her and then turned to Sonya. “You broke your promise.”
 Sonya shrugged. “I have to. You are making scenes with your reckless killing.”
 “When I get out of here, I’m going to enjoy torturing the hell out of you, bitch.” I said with a cold smile.
 The Doctor stepped in front of Sonya and pleaded with me. “What happen to you, (name)? This isn’t you.”
 “Really? And how do you know that this isn’t me, Doctor?” I asked mockingly. “If Sonya here has told you the truth, then you know everything you think you know about me is a lie.”
 “But you saved me. You saved my friends. We saved each other.”
 I scoffed. “It was just part of my elaborate ruse.”
 The Doctor looked like she want to argue but she didn’t. She scrutinized me with her sad eyes. Finally, she asked, “Why did you kill the Division men?”
 I shrugged. “They killed my mother.”
 “Don’t you mean the other (name)’s mother? Who are you, really? Sonya said that you are from an alternate universe. How did you get here?” The Doctor asked, no, demanded. “Why would you kill the other you?”
 I smiled viciously. “How else would I be able to get your attention, Doctor? I need to be with you in the Tardis.”
 “Why?”
 “I want to go home.” I finally said. “I thought if I stay with you, I would eventually figure out the way home.”
 “Why didn’t you come to me and ask for my help honestly?” She asked. “Why use the elaborate ruse to gain my trust?”
 I sighed. “I suppose I thought it would make her proud.”
 “Who?”
 “The Master.”
 “You know the Master back in your original universe?”
 I smiled evilly. “Jealous?”
 The Doctor scoffed. “You kept bad company.”
 “Well, ours is always a bad romance.”
 “You? And the Master?” she asked in disbelief.
 “Why so surprised? Who else would love a monster but a fellow monster?”
 “You are not a monster, (name).”
 “You are still deluding yourself, Doctor. The (name) you think you know never existed.”
 The Doctor is visibly upset with herself and me. “How did you get here?”
 “I never wanted to be here. It was you, the other you, who did this to me! He felt threatened by the Master and me, so, instead of killing me, he sent me far away from my beloved.”
 “You want to go back home to the Master.” The Doctor said, finally understanding my motive.
 “She can’t be allowed to come back to the Master.” Sonya suddenly said.
 I glared at her. “Shut your mouth, bitch!”
 “I saw her mind. The word ‘hybrid’ came to mind.” Sonya turned to face the Doctor. “…something about a crossbred of warrior races that will stand in the ruins of…”
 The Doctor’s eyes widened as she turned to look at me again. “You and the Master…are the hybrid? Did you two destroy Gallifrey?”
 I rolled my eyes. “Gallifrey still stands, at least the last time I heard about it.” I said.
 “The Doctor, in your original universe, he believed that you and the Master are the hybrid.”
 “Not only him; the Time Lords seemed to think so, at least that was the Master said to me. They kept trying to kill us. We haven’t even step one foot within Gallifrey and already they condemn us. Time Jackass.”
 The Doctor frowned at me. “Sonya is right. I can’t let you go back to the Master.”
 My jaw dropped at what she said. “Doctor, don’t you dare…”
 She glanced at me in sorrow. “I’m sorry, (name).”
 “So what? You are going to keep me here? Like a freaking pet?” I yelled as I hit on the glass wall in front of me in my anger.
 The Doctor sighed. “I will cure you, (name). That power of yours, I study the project, you are always angry because of the power within your veins. I am going to help you.”
 “I don’t need your help. If you think you can experiment on me again, think again!” I yelled.  “You think I wasn’t prepared for this eventuality?!”
 “Oh, I know what you did. I removed that bomb you planted inside your body. I won’t allow you to hurt yourself.” The Doctor said calmly.
 My eyes widened in panic when I realized my exit strategy is basically taken away from me. “No. NOO.”
 7777
 I didn’t know how long I was in the prison. It felt like months. It has been a while since the Doctor’s last visit. Sonya is within the prison as some sort of warden. She saw my mind and she knew I have been thinking various way of killing her once I got out. But she was confident that I wouldn’t get out.
 With times, I did lose my hope of getting out. I can’t even kill myself. The Doctor has taken that choice away from me. People always do that to me, except, the Master. But she is not here. Why isn’t she here???
 I got depressed.
 7777
 “Hi, honey, I’m home.”
 My mouth hangs open as I saw the Master, my Master, right in front of me.
 The Master winked at me. “Step back; let me get you out of this horrid place.”
 I followed her instruction and took a step back away from the glass wall.
 Once the glass wall shattered, I walked forward and stared at her, still not believing my eyes.
 “Well, what are you waiting for?” The Master asked impatiently.
 I slowly smiled as I jumped out and hugged her. “Where were you?!”
 “Ugh, you smelled.”
 “Oh, nice, ruin the moment, why don’t you?” I said in annoyance.
 It was then I noticed she wasn’t alone. Yaz is there but she looks like she is in daze. The Master must have used mind control on her.
 “Is that…?” I asked as I glanced at the Master.
 “She is the Yaz of this universe. I found you through her. Her Doctor dropped her on earth for a break. She thought I am the Doctor.” The Master explained. “Speaking of, I can’t believe that the other me is actually the Doctor. What’s up with that?” She scrunched her nose in disgust.
 I laughed. “Exactly what I thought the first time I saw her.”
 The Master grinned at me. “I heard you have been a very naughty girl. Tricking the Doctor into making you a companion…but you got caught. What happened?”
 I frowned and grinned slowly. “Did you happen to meet a Sonya on the way here?”
 “The telepath. She tried to use mind control on me. But I turned the table on her.”
 “Of course you did.” I said as I glanced at her with fondness. I raised my wrist in front of her. “Do you mind?”
 The Master smirked. “Say please.”
 I rolled my eyes. “Pretty please.” I said deadpanned.
 She grinned and used her version of sonic cane to disable the cuff off my wrist.
 I smiled. “Thank you, love.”
 Sonya was screaming non-stop as I kept my promise to torture her. The Master is dancing in the middle of room, waving her cane around, dancing to the telepath’s scream.
 I knew she is sending psychic message for the Doctor to help her. But I won’t let the Doctor rescued her so I snapped her neck immediately. I know the Doctor will be coming anyway…for Yaz. I glanced at Yaz who finally regained her bearing and was staring at me and the Master in fear.
 “How could you do this, (name)?” Yaz asked.
 I rolled my eyes. “Why wouldn’t I do this? The Doctor and Sonya trapped me in a prison.”
 “They just wanted to help you.”
 “I don’t need their help.”
 “Obviously you do.”
 “You really need to shut up, Yaz, don’t make me want to kill you.”
 Yaz visibly paled and she, thankfully, shut her mouth.
 “The Doctor is on her way here. Should we leave?” I asked as I turned toward the Master.
 “Why? I would like to meet the other me, the one you have been chummy with.” The Master replied.
 I rolled my eyes. “You can’t seriously be jealous. She was annoying as hell, you would hate her. I hate her.”
 “Then, we should torture her together.” The Master said with an evil grin. “What should we do to her Yaz?”
 I shrugged. “Are you sure? You said the Doctor is…”
“I know what I said about him and I don’t care. The Doctor here will pay the price as the other Doctor did for what they did to you.”
 I was touched that she actually was mad on my behalf. “What did you do to the other Doctor? I hope you give that bastard hell.”
 “Oh, I trapped his Yaz on the same mirror he used to trap one of his enemies, a family of blood? Whatever. He went inside the mirror to fetch his pet so I shattered it. It would take him a while to figure out a way out. Best case scenario would be making him watch his Yaz grew old inside that mirror while he remained trapped and immortal. He always hated ending and now he will be forced to face an ending.”
 I frowned. “Wish you would throw him into the void…” I muttered. “He has the tendency to come back.”
 “Don’t worry, my dear, we will deal with him once we return to our universe.” The Master promised with a feral grin. “And then we will fulfill the hybrid prophecy…” She pulled me to her and kissed me hard.
 I honestly didn’t care about the prophecy. I was just happy to be back by her side.
 The Doctor’s Tardis materialized on the room. She stepped out of the door and was taken aback to see her own doppelganger was kissing me.
 The Master stopped the kiss and turned to greet the Doctor. She grinned at her. “Hello, Doctor. I heard you have been treating my companion very poorly.”
 The Doctor turned to look at me. Her eyes widened. “I…she is the Master?”
 I smiled a chilling smile. “Now you know…”
 The Doctor’s face looked very pale.
 Of course, the Master and the Doctor would have to have the same usual dialog of savior-villain theme again. So, I let them have their moment.
 “What did you do to Yaz?” The Doctor demanded.
 “Why don’t you ask her yourself?” The Master said.
 “Yaz, are you okay?” The Doctor asked.
 “I think so.” Yaz replied.
 The Doctor then proceeds to threaten us but was stopped when she saw me put a hand over Yaz’s neck.
 “Let us leave and you can have her back.” I said.
 The Doctor frowned. “You know I don’t take kindly to a threat.”
“And I don’t take kindly to people who imprison me!!” I yelled angrily. “Don’t test me!” I turned to the Master who is glancing at me curiously. “I just want to go home. I’m done with her and this universe.”
 The Master nodded, for once acknowledging my wish. “Your wish is my command.” She raised a hand toward me.
 I pushed Yaz hard toward the Doctor. The Doctor was barely able to catch her. I walked toward the Master as I rose to reach for her hand.
 The Master and I disappeared with her vortex manipulator.

 They are now inside the Master’s tardis in space.
 The Master put her forehead over mine. “I’m sorry that I took so long, my dear.”
 “I’m just glad that you found me.” I said with a watery smile.
 “Did you ever doubt I would?” She whispered softly
 “Well, truthfully…”
 The Master pulled away from me. “Don’t ruin the moment.” She said.
 I laughed. “You did it first.”
 “You did smell bad before.”
 “Now who is ruining the moment?”
 7777
 “The Doctor, she said, this power I have, it was what causing me so much anger, a side effect of the experiment? Did you know?”
  “Yes.”
 “Why didn’t you tell me?”
 “Does it matter?”
 I pondered over it. “Not really. I don’t regret it. This power, it was what led me to you.”
 “Oh, stop it; next, you are going to break into a song.”

 And they returned back to their original universe where the wrath of Galifrey descends upon them, leading the army to squash down the suspected hybrid before they ever think to set foot into Gallifrey.
 The Master lost her only companion that day. She was taken and imprisoned within Gallifrey where she eventually hack her way out and found out the truth of the Timeless Child. She is the Timeless Child.
 In a fit of rage, she destroyed Gallifrey.
   A/N2: I love Florence and the machine; I listen to Cosmic Love on a loop while writing this.
Originally, I planned to make the Master and Reader stay a while in 13th Doctor’s universe causing chaos. 13th Doctor would eventually defeat the Master and tricked the Reader by pretending to be the Master.
But the Reader would recognize her as the Doctor through how she kissed her. Because the Master is complicated person and although she does love the Reader, she also hates her that every time they kissed, she would give her psychic message in her mind about how much she hates the reader for making her weak.
I decided not to write this because I kind of feeling like the reader is tired and just want to go home and hopefully cuddle with her beloved? Though that bit with the reader’s death come so suddenly. I wanted to end it with fluff but somehow it ended with the timeless child fiasco.
Well, that’s it folk. Hope you love this fic. I know it is far from perfect but I’m just going to say that I’m evil that’s why I posted this regardless whether anyone actually bother reading this fic.
