Title: Spoiled for Choice: Chapter Eight: Pictures of the Floating World: Part I

Author: x_los

Rating: PG-13

Pairing: Eight/Simm!Master, Eight/Jacobi!Master

Chapter: Part I of III of 8/12 (Gawd, I KNOW, ridiculous)

Summary: In the third year of the Master’s reign, he perfects Laz Labs technology. The Doctor as a box of chocolates.

Part Summary: In which the Toclafane gets back with the Kinda box, Jacobi!Master watches unusual reality programming, and the Eighth Doctor has no luck with his health. Again.

Betas: innocentsmith pointed out things that made me change 50% of it, and it is way less sucky now.

Special Thanks: People who mentioned wanting the next chapter, because I was soooo ready to consign this to the big bin of Unmanageable Projects I Have Wandered Off From. Thanks for the interest!

Part I

The Rules: Be freely off topic and respond to any you feel like! Or none! Or just write comment crack/porn, since I had a lot of fun reading that last time and maybe you did too?

Think these questions are lame? I'm running out and we never talk about the actual questions anyway. Feel free to offer up some of your own in the comments and I'll edit the posts accordingly.


* When the Doctor said ‘I just need a mate,’ did you snort immaturely and go ‘oh, too late, he’s ded!’ or were you too British to think it was funny?


* Provide an explanation of The Enemy Within!Master. Mine is this.


* Under what circumstances could Doctor/Master genderbend!crack (one or both) occur? Which of them is responsible and why?


* Who's the Master's favorite companion (of the Doctor's) and why? (EDIT: the phrase 'he hates them all' just occurred to me--much amusement)

From marah_sarie

* Because I was watching Terror of the Autons this weekend, and the appearance of BertieWooster!Time Lord (as someone over on [Unknown site tag]greenbubblewrap called him) had me thinking: How much do the rest of the Time Lords, and specifically the High Council, know about the Doctor and the Master's past (or current) dalliances, and when did they pick up on it? I mean, Borusa must have figured it out at some point, probably after all those times Theta and Koschei snuck into class ten minutes late with their robes all mussed, right? (And why else did the High Council bring the Master in to rescue the Doctor in the Five Doctors - I mean, they pretty much come out and say it.) Additional question: Did President Romana figure it out before or after she agreed to bring the Master back from the dead? :)

* If you had to choose, would you rather have: Ainley!Master wearing Delgado's Nehru suit, or Delgado!Master wearing Ainley's embroidered velvet jacket? (I told you I was pervy and shallow -- and if Ainley!Master does ever wear a Nehru jacket and I've just forgotten about it, somebody please tell me!)
