Okay, this is it for me! Remember - the commentathon is ending, so here's an opportunity to uh, comment.

Coil

Pairing: Nine/Author-Created Master
Length: 1,900
Warnings: author warns for bloodplay, and graphicness. R-rated fic.
Author on LJ (or Teaspoon, or Prydonian): draegonhawke 

Why this must be read: I hesitated about reccing this, because it's one of those fics that just hits all of my buttons. It's post Time War fic, where the Master, the Doctor, and the TARDIS all just barely survived. There's hurt/comfort where it's not really clear which is hurt and which is comfort. There's a sort of crisis of identity on all sides. As a fic, and a style, it hovers between the Classic Series and New Who, drawing from both.

Anyway, then I tallied all of that up, added in the truly beautiful prose, and realized probably a lot of other people would like this fic as much as I do. Hope you do!
