This is what happens when I'm bored.

This just popped into my head earlier on, pretty much fully formed. I blame Moffat. :)

Title: The Master Returns. Again.
Length: 200 words.
Spoilers: The End of Time and the S5 Angel episodes (just to be on the safe side).
Setting: Sometime in the future.
Characters: Doctor (11th), Master (unspecified), River Song.
Rating: PG.

The Master Returns. Again.

The Master, the Doctor reflected, never really changed. Which was a problem, because - despite being glad to see him and all that - the Doctor was beginning to get distinctly bored.

Well there was also the fact that he was tied up (although not gagged, and he was grateful for that small mercy), but mostly it was the Master’s monologuing which was wearing thin (again).

The Master had so far derided the youthfulness of his face, the bow tie, the braces and the hair, as well as spending what seemed like a small eternity complaining about having saved his (the Doctor’s) life, only to have him throw it away instantly, and most definitely never repeating that mistake again.

The Doctor closed his eyes, refusing to react to the latest bait, when suddenly there was the smooth szoom of a Fifty-Second Century gun powering up, and the sound of the most delightful voice in all the galaxies.

“Hello Sweetie. Sorry I’m late!”

The Master, incredulous, craned his neck as much as he could with a gun pressed to his temple, straining to get a look at the curly-haired woman behind him.

The Doctor smiled.

“Master - I don’t believe you’ve met my wife?”

*evil, insane glee*

I love it. Particularly Eleven being bored with it all.

*snerk*

(Aside: I am so poised to write meta all over the parallels between Doctor/River and Master/Lucy . . . just as soon as Moffat gives me something to work with. *waits impatiently*)

I think the Master has a point with that last one. Maybe my perspective is skewed. I've been RPing the Master to long...

River and the Master is meeting I would pay to see.

LOL. River meeting the Master is just an irresistible thought :)

Ya know, I could totally see this happening in canon. And The Master had so far derided the youthfulness of his face, the bow tie, the braces and the hair, as well as spending what seemed like a small eternity complaining about having saved his (the Doctor’s) life, only to have him throw it away instantly, and most definitely never repeating that mistake again. is exactly how Simm!Master would react. Actually, he does have a point!

Oh, this is so much fun! These are probably my three favorite characters in canon and I love how you've combined them here. They can all be slightly cracky by nature in canon and you've walked that line very nicely. And River's arrival? Love! I will definitely go on to read more! I have to walk away from the computer for a little bit. But I will definitely read/reply to that when I return. Great stuff. :D
