Ghhhh. I wrote a Lucy/Jack dialogue piece too! GREAT MINDS! I loved his attitude when he greeted her, but how he got angry at once when she made a parallel between the two of them. And I loved Lucy's attitude. Cold, matter-of-fact, not letting him have the upper hand, even threatening to have him flogged if he disrespected her—in control. The way she described her relationship with the Master in two simple sentences, and made it obvious that they were similar, Jack and her. And it unsettled him so much.
“Your Doctor committed genocide on an unparalleled scale. My Master is still trying to catch up...” Gosh. Go Lucy. ♥ And your Doctor, my Master. Making obvious what was there all along, hinted at…
I loved Lucy's analysis of the Doctor's character. Great point about Torchwood—her words were so sharp and deadly accurate. I loved the fact that the Doctor never committed, but the Master chose and claimed Lucy entirely—making her his own, embracing it. Such an unsettling remark, as was the fairytale quality of their marriage. A cruel fairytale, powerful and merciless, but so they often are. Loved Jack's irony about it though—and the fact that it struck Lucy, more than anything else he'd said. I made my choice, for better or worse—still. Always. Oh, I can't WAIT to see your take on the killing scene… And the fact that he'd kill her, but not abandon her. The ultimate ownership. She'd be his own until the very end—he would choose her end, and deliver it. (I actually had the thought for a while, with my old OTP, that to die by her master's hand would be something Bellatrix could entirely embrace, so the situation is not so shocking to me…) And oh. How much she enjoyed hurting Jack. How she knew exactly what she was doing, and relished it quietly. And the fact that you made her not a victim, not entirely a doll, but a pupil. I love it. I loved how Jack tried to get her to stop. Exactly like the Doctor would. Stop, think—"you could be so much more". Ghhhh! I can't even. And Lucy finding him naive, even sweet. God, it was so chilling. And her answer was flawless. The last lines about having Jack's hair cut, but leaving him in the dirt KILLED me. The closing paragraph was incredible… the Master, then the Doctor, then Lucy. Three opposite points of view, and such insight. Lucy's was… just mind-blowing. The freezing… like she seemed frozen herself. It hurts just beautifully.
