You've changed the desktop theme, haven't you? What's this one? Coral?

Bubalas:

Have we any D/M desktop themes? If so, where? If not, why not? I am so sick of looking at the 'bliss' desktop theme on my vile work!PC I could choke a bucolic field. I've hunted and found fuck all.



With infinite gratitude,

P.S. What do we think of a tag for stuff like desktop themes, mood themes, etc.? You know, stuff that's more graphics-oriented than 'behold my water-color of Ainley!Master rescuing Five (dressed as a Princess, complete w/ pointy hat) from Rassilon's Dark Tower.' Is there a term for the general category?

Rec: 'Five Lives the Master Saved' by Eponymous_Rose

[marah-sarie.livejournal.com]

Taking advantage of the gen provision in the guidelines for my final rec, because even though this has been recced on calufrax before, I know I missed it the first time around, and possibly others have as well. And it definitely deserves as wide an audience as possible:

Title: Five Lives the Master Saved
Pairing: Gen (Characters: Delgado!Master, Simm!Master, Koschei, Jo Grant, Martha Jones, Susan Foreman, Theta, Third Doctor, Tenth Doctor)
Length: 3750
Warnings: None
Rating: PG-13
Author on LJ: eponymous_rose
Author Website: Stories archived on Teaspoon
Author's summary: Justifying the means becomes academic when you live in a world of endings.

Why this must be read: Because it's just a fascinating look at the Master, in all his complexity, while also setting up truly interesting contrasts between the Master's way of viewing things, and the Doctor's. Plus, eponymous_rose's Delgado!Master voice in particular is just straight-up perfect.
