Fic Reccing Time: Resurfacing by Shinodabear

[evilawyer-fic.livejournal.com]

There's no use deluding myself any further --- I have virtually no concept of who is a "lesser known" fic writer in the Doctor Who fandom.  I had two more stories all picked out that fit in with the theme my brain was following and was collecting LJ names and link information when this bit of realization hit me.  It is simply not possible for someone with 750+ mutual friends on LJ to be a "lesser known" fic writer, no matter that Teaspoon's reviewing data makes it seem like he or she is toiling in obscurity.   So, in flagrant disregard for the reccing rules, I'm throwing out my theme and my plan and simply reccing some fics that I have enjoyed immensely.  And I'm not caring that the authors of these fics are, at least to me, prolific giants among fic writers.

First up, something beautifully sad yet uplifting.

Title:  Resurfacing
Pairing:  Ten/Simm!Master
Length: 1295 words
Warnings:  None
Author on LJ:  shinodabear .  Same name at The Prydonian.
Author website:  None to my knowledge.
Why this must be read:  This is Ten as I wanted him to be and as I want to remember him and, for as sad as it is, it always gives me a little hope.
Excerpt:  He wants to hold him and love him and tell him all about what happened since the War. He wants to appreciate him. He wants to make him better. To travel the universe together. Just the two of them. He wants to be the way they were, all those years ago. To get back what he never took time to really and truly love.

So! After serious, deep thought, I've come to a couple conclusions.

CONCLUSION NUMBER ONE: is somewhat belated because I decided this months ago but never thought to post it here.

'Domination ... from dominus "lord, master," lit. "master of the house," from domus "home" (see domestic) + -nus, suffix denoting ownership or relation.'

'Meddle ... From mid-14c. to 1700, it also was a euphemism for "have sexual intercourse."'

(from the Online Etymology Dictionary)

Obviously Theta set out to give Koschei the bedroom eyes, and Koschei was trying to propose, and then the idiots never bothered to find out the hidden meaning in each others' actions and, and, the next thing you know it's all bondage and TCEs. This is why you don't say "I love you" with alien etymology.

CONCLUSION NUMBER TWO: the time cracks in series five are the Master punching through the time lock back into the universe proper. I don't know if anyone's come up with this theory yet Don't thank me, just write fic.
