Gifs from The Sea Devils (With sword fighting!)

[betsyisawesome.livejournal.com]

I've just started making my way into the old!Who and janeturenne  informed me that there was sword fighting in The Sea Devils so I watched it and it was glorious.  Thus I resolved to figure out how to make gifs just because the scene desperately needed them.  And I succeeded, so I here I am, sharing them with you guys.  I'm hopeless with Livejournal, if the fact that I've posted a grand total of five words on my actual journal didn't clue you in, so I'm just going to link to the page on my Tumblr where I posted them.  If it's not too much trouble to click a link, I think you might like them.

Also, I've got a quick question.  Who's the guy on the far left of the banner at the top of the community?  I recognize everything else, but not that.

Rec: Sartorial Differences by aralias

Oh my god I meant to post more recs than this over my brief period as tastetester for you fine folks. Ah well, let's end on a particularly high note.


Title: Sartorial Differences

Pairing: Six/Ainley!Master

Length: approx 2,500

Summary: In order to make Trial of a Time Lord make some sort of sense, the Doctor goes back in time, to before his trial, to ask if the Master would mind doing him a massive favour...

Warnings: Spoilers for Trial of a Time Lord: The Ultimate Foe

Author on LJ (or Teaspoon, or Prydonian): aralias

Why this must be read: OK, first of all this is a fic that explains not one but two wardrobe changes in what I feel is a very cogent, humorous manner. (Oh, and the whole messed up end of Trial thing, but surely that is of less import.) And did I say humorous? I meant hilarious. There are fics you read that are funny and you have a smile on your face the whole way through. Then there are fics like this, where you're snorting and giggling and kind of hoping no-one can hear you, but at the same time you're boggling because it's all so wonderfully in character. This is Six and Ainley at their snarky, brilliant best. They spar perfectly and the delight is in how they not only clearly want each other, but are enjoying their one-upmanship just as much as having found a pretext for sexytimes. There are traces of the old Three/D!Master partnerships here, but they are in no way mistakeable for anyone but themselves. And Six. Six being sneaky and sexy and smug what more do you need from a fic?
