something’s working (heart is turning)

But she notices it.

never say forever

Summary:

The pessimist on her shoulder is once again urging her to run. Take Yaz’s hand, and leave the Master to his handpicked fate.

But she can’t.

So she doesn’t.

-

The Master captures the Doctor and Yaz under the guise of malice, or revenge - or perhaps something else.

frightened is no way to fall

Summary:

He doesn’t deserve her empathy, of course, and it’s always infuriating to be reminded that she doesn’t have the means to shake it, and he doesn’t have the capacity to feel it. The Doctor has always drowned in compassion whilst the Master held his breath. He left his hearts in a war, and so did she, but at least she went back for them. He never even tried. “What happened to you?” - The Doctor finds the Master at the end of the universe, and the end of his rope.

fifty characters

Summary:

“They’ve had a couple of instances of devious play around here.” The Doctor explains, unprompted. “Stink bombs, prank calls, you name it.” Yaz snorts. “So they’ve had to up their protocols for, you know, safety reasons. Shouldn’t take long.” - From the moment they entered the truth field, they should have expected that the Doctor would get herself into trouble.
