Master At Arms by Hokuto

[darklyenigmatic.livejournal.com]

I'm posting a link to 'Master At Arms' by Hokuto, with the author's permission. I stumbled across it quite serendipitously just a couple of hours ago, and for all that it's absolutely amazing, I was shocked to see no comments whatsoever, though it's been around on AO3 for a couple of months or more.

This is, I suppose, a rec, but I just want it to circulate more, and I imagine that while some of you may have come across it, many more haven't. It's the story of the Time War and the Master's place in it, a brilliant character study and a truly terrifying look at just what the Time War might mean, both to the Universe at large and the people fighting in it. It doesn't ignore the horrors, or pretty things up. 

Although it's gen, the mentions of the Doctor are written in such a way that it is, for me, very easy to read a relationship into it, whether that was the author's intention or not. Oh, and there's Susan! And SIDRATs!

I just discovered that the author is also on lj as brief_transit ! Anywho, here's the link at AO3: archiveofourown.org/works/85429

And here it is at the author's lj:  http://brief-transit.livejournal.com/72602.html

No rating given, but there's certainly violence and darkness and, you know, depictions of war, so I'd say around PG-13. Anyway, go! Read it!

Anon Meme Update!

New Responses:

• Santa Claus is clearly a Time Lord. His sleigh? A TARDIS. It's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside to fit all the presents. Delivering them all? No problem, the TARDIS can travel in time. The Master comes to this realization. Either of the following happens: Scenario 1: He and the Doctor have EPIC ADVENTURES to uncover Santa's true secret. Along the way there can be smut. Scenario 2: The Doctor IS Santa Claus and decides that the Master has been a very, very naughty boy. Lumps of coal simply aren't punishment enough and he takes matters into his own hands. This anon would like to apologize for any ruined childhoods in advance. - Both scenarios 1 and 2!
  
• Thirteen is dying. The Master will not be having with this bullshit.

New Prompts:

• I'm just covered with this fluffy blanket of glee every time I read a fic where the Master introduces the Doctor as his husband and the Doctor splutters and flails. Hardly fair for the Master to have all the fun, though. Let's see the Doctor introducing the unsuspecting Master as his Legally Wedded.
  
• 3, 5, or 10..... And mistletoe, and any Master....
  
• Three bottoms in a furry suit. And likes it.
  
•  DOCTOR: Wonder what I'd be without you? MASTER: ...probably a virgin.
  
• I don't care how it happens, I want a Brig sandwich: Three/Lethbrige-Stewart/Delgado, please!
  
• Six/Frobisher/Ainley!Master Anon adds: Also mpreg.
  
• Pokemon!AU where the Doctor is a type of Pokemon and evolves into each of his incarnations (like Eevee). The Master is a Pokemon trainer determined to THE VERY BEST LIKE NO ONE EVER WAS and his favorite Pokemon is the Doctor. RUN WITH IT.
  
• Ten and Simm!Master are stranded in a universe where sentient life never evolved. Simm!Master thinks being The Master in a universe where there is nobody to be Master of sucks, so he decides to hijack the Doctor's DNA and combine it with his own to create his own race of Time-Lord'ettes.
  
• There was a line in one brilliant response fic about the Master and the Rani's marriage not lasting through their honeymoon. I AM INCREDIBLY INTERESTED IN SEEING HOW THIS HAPPENED. The courtship, the ceremony, the awkwardness, the bitchy remarks, and the inevitable Doctor-related breakup.
