Wow, that was strong :)
You captured the Master in his very essence, the confusion and insanity so tangible, especially when he wants the doctor to feel the drums, then says he should be spared of them.
The constant need to win over the doctor, yet the whole time he needs him at the same time. I don't knoow.
You've written it so well, I feel like I should delete my whole favourite stories list to make sure that yours is there :P

Easily the best Master-centric fic I have ever read. Excellent characterization, the kind you simply do not see outside of the show itself. You've captured the very essence of the character, bravo.

That was brilliant. So well written I could hardly believed it. Have you written anything else about the Master? You seem to really see into his heart!

-tear- Loved it. Loved it beyond words. Well... not really, seeing as I am reviewing. But beautiful nonetheless. Wish there were more Master-centric works out there...

nice i really liked it. very interesting. good job

Absolutely amazing in every way, and sadly I really dont know what else to say.

Stunning. Love that the Master's behaviour is so erratic because, really, he has no clear idea what he wants.
The lines
'He doesn't, and that's good--because if one person should be spared them, it should be him.'
and
'He falls, and lets the Doctor take the drums away'
Are fantastic

Wahh, so crazy. You captured his mental deterioration well.

Awesome story!

Except that he'll be back as always...probably next season when Tennant leaves.

Gorgeous. Really. A wonderful exploration of some of the subtleties and complex condradictions of their relationship and history, and prose that flows like water, uninterrupted, nothing to jar the reader out of the experience. A forget-to-breathe piece if ever I've seen one. And structured as a collage of short scenes/snippets- a writer after my own heart! :3

Oh my God...I'm at a loss for words. That was BRILLIANT! Probably the best Master POV fic I've ever read. The last scene was especially great, "He falls, and lets the Doctor take the drums away" I swear, this was brilliant. You are an awesome writer, keep it up! :D

gd fic

A character study via an intense, muted succession of images--my favorite. ;) You broke your paragraphs well; I felt the rise and fall of each one as I was reading, and a beat of silence in between them, like breathing. Well done.

Wow. And just when I was getting sick of all the Master/Doctor fics floatimg around you pull something like that.
This was abolsutely brilliant: beautifully written and quite disturbing in places, but I just couldn't tear my eyes away.
Favourited!
