@ofcreamcustards asked: “ i feel like i’ve been living in a storm for so long, like i’m just drifting from wave or wave hoping i won’t drown. ” (any Master you're vibing with, but I'd love some Dhawan!Master).
they’d been at this for how long? the master didn’t remember, but it was always the same. the doctor always was a step or three behind him. always attempting to catch up. sometimes it worked, but other times . . . it was far too late. truly, there were times that even the master themselves thought they were not at odds. where everything was in the past, but such a thing always faded away due to reality of matters.
the doctor would always stop the master, but sometimes . . . the master would get the upper hand and stop the doctor. it wasn’t merely about luck or even skill. it simply was who could play the game better.
today? it was the master.
“ do you fear drowning? ” a simple question as lips pressed into a thin-line. “ or do you fear not being good enough to save them? ” another question as a step forward was taken. “ your precious humanity. the one’s that live their lives with no understanding of whats out there or perhaps, ” head tilts for a moment, “ it’s just your companions. tell me again, how many of them have died? converted to cybermen? ” a pause. “ you’re drifting . . . wanting support. wanting something to grasp onto. ”
“ it’s me. that’s what you need. always has been - you’ve just been far too foolish to actually see it. ”
