Rec: Worst Bedtime Story Ever

[dragonofmemory]

That's right, another week of me spamming the com with recs.  BECAUSE I CAN.  Enjoy!

Title: Worst Bedtime Story Ever.
Pairing: Ainley Master/Fifth Doctor implied, Five Bot
Length: 670~ish
Summary: The Master tucks his pet Doctor replica in with a bedtime story.
Warnings: Utter cuteness and crack
Author on LJ (or Teaspoon, or Prydonian): tardiscrash 
Why this must be read:

So, this is probably a bit short for one of my normal recs... but it's also adorable and I really couldn't not put it up here.

One of the things I love about tardiscrash's fics is that they are usually happy ones. Yes, I know. There's probably a lot of shock in that, coming from me, but even I like happy sometimes. With the Doctor and Master, it's sometimes so very rare to see them just enjoying each other. No games. No killing. No angst. Just simple pleasure that does something wonderful for the fandom. Especially the Five and Ainley ones, because while Five is just meant to be tortured, it's good to see him happy every so often too.

Also, I think Ainley is a bit of an under-appreciated Master. I haven't heard many people that dislike him, but he just seems like he's forgotten among the other Masters. He doesn't quite have the charm of the Delgado Master, nor the craziness of Simm, or even the outstanding horror of Roberts Master (sorry, Roberts fans, but... *shudders*), but he's melodramatic and over the top and really quite fun in his own way. He gave new life to a character who had spent such a long time out of the series only to come back crispy, not to mention giving us some lovely angst and memorable serials.

tardiscrash does such a lovely job with the Fifth Doctor and Ainley Master's voices too. Seriously, have I mentioned how jealous of that I am? I've never quite managed to find a good pitch for Ainley and my Five... Well, we aren't going into my love-hate relationship with writing Five. Suffice it to say, I am extraordinarily jealous on how effortlessly tardiscrash is able to write these characters and make them sound so perfect.

This story in particular is part of the Five Bot universe, which is, for those of you who don't know about it, utterly adorable. The Master finds himself with a sex bot who is about as innocent as a five year old and looks exactly like the Fifth Doctor and ends up as a legal guardian instead of an owner. Did I mention there was adorable fluff?

This story is one of my particular favorites. The idea of the Master explaining his relationship with the Doctor to a lesser life form as a bed time story not only wonderfully gives us clues to his own feelings, but also is just adorable and fluffy and with crack to spare. Seriously, why isn't this done more in fandom?

Also, I have much adoration for how the Master ends the bedtime story. It amused me greatly. So go forth and immerse yourself in the cuteness, my kittens! You won't regret it.

Excerpt:

“To his dismay he found that the shepherd boy was scared of him and didn’t want anything to do with him. “Go away.” he shouted as he hid behind his garden wall. “Wolves are evil and not to be trusted, I would certainly never want to play with one.” The wolf stayed there all day and night hoping that the shepherd boy would change his mind but he would not. Hearts broken the wolf left, taking out a few sheep for spite as he left the property.”

Link to the story: The Worst Bedtime Story Ever.

Extra: And since I went on and on (though thankfully didn't go longer than the story itself again) and that one was short, I'll also give you another fic of tardiscrash's. This time with Awesome Six Voice. Plus, Six and Simm need to happen far more often. It just does. Foresight and Hindsight

Anon Meme Update

[marah-sarie.livejournal.com]

New Responses:

• Roberts!Master/Idris. After the Master falls into the Eye of Harmony aboard the Tardis, a certain Bitey Mad Lady comforts and protects him because he's the only one that loves the Doctor as much as she does.
  
• "Three never fucked Delgado!Master, and the Doctor's always regretted it." Because there are many many fics with the Master pining for a former Doctor (my own included) but very few going the other way around. Can I get an older Doctor (preferably Six or Seven) going back to harass Delgado!Master and make up for Three?
  
• After watching this: ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUiooh4KQG0 ) I've got it in my deranged little mind that Eight needs to get himself in a harem girl outfit and "charm" the Goosnake!Master. (Art Response!)
  
• Any Doctor/Master. The Master is standing over the Doctor in bondage, taunting his arch-nemesis and being generally smug when they both switch bodies. The Doctor sends his companion(s) away and decides to take advantage of the situation. Bonus points if the Doctor regrets being so rough because he is sore when he gets back in his own body.
  
• The Master's Tardis is forever changing. Can we get fic where it's something utterly ridiculous and the Doctor argues that it's just not possible for that object to be a Tardis.
  
• So maybe it was the four and a half hours of sleep I was working off, but my taxi driver this morning /really/ looked like Nine. This led me to realize that the one thing I most need in the world is TaxiDriver!Nine picking up the Master (any, but with especial preference for Simm), and them ending up having sex in the taxi. I leave all the other details up to Anon.
  
• Eleven is a pony now. Ponies are cool. The Master mostly feels that this isn't the most humiliating transformation he's ever suffered, and at least the Doctor is right there with him this time. Bonus points for Amy and Pinkie Pie teaming up. (Art Response!)
  
• There is a line from the first Christmas special, where Rose tells her mother about the fact that the Doctor has two hearts and Jackie replies "Is there anything else he has two of?" So, dear anons, I can't be the only one who's deprived enough to want that question answered? Preferably with a Master who isn't in a regular Time Lord body.
  
• Meme, I bring to you my anonymous shame. ...I need the Master watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. And being a secret brony until the Doctor catches him in the act. We already know the Master has a secret weakness for kids' TV: clearly he cannot resist. Or getting sucked into Equestria (along with the Doctor, of course) and having an excitingly crack-filled adventure getting out of there. Or somehow being responsible for the cartoon sucking in everyone who watches it (mind control is the only explanation!) as part of an even more unhinged than usual evil plan. I don't know. Meme, my mind has been eaten by ponies. I just. I am not ashamed.
  
• Three, Five, Eight or Eleven: Ballroom dancing. Original thread)
  
• How about Gatiss!Doctor, from the spoof "The Web of Caves"? The Master (any Master, OC or canonical) is the offscreen person in the TARDIS that the Doctor is reacting to, and he is Not Impressed by the way the standards of villainy have fallen since he started traveling with the Doctor.
  
• Okay, random prompt is random and vague, but could someone write some poetry for this pairing? I've never seen any, and I think the Doctor and the Master have enough drama to inspire some good prose. (Multiple responses)
  
• Anyone feel up to writing a bit of new Sympathy For The Devil fic? The answer is yes: with tentacle porn.
  
• Fact: In an alternate universe the Doctor and the Master are cats. All of the Doctor's companions are their kitten children. (Art Response!)
  
• The Doctor is turned into a cat. Due to MAGICAL PLOT REASONS he ends up as the Master's pet. (Also an art response!)

New Prompts:

• The Doctor and Companion!fob-watched!Harry Saxon. Especially if the Doctor doesn't realize it's the Master at first. Maybe Harry Saxon decides to see what he's funding at Lazarus Labs? And things sort of escalate from there...
  
• The Master regenerates in bodies that are shorter than the Doctor's for a reason, and that reason is that he really, really enjoys the idea of overpowering and fucking the Doctor when he's so tall and strong. I would come buckets if an anon did this for Delgado!Master/Three, but really any combination is fine with me.
  
• Koschei and Theta's first time. (In other words, very awkward 'I have no idea what we're doing' sex.)
  
• Ainley/Eleven, Or: "Why the Master wears a Bow Tie in 'Survival'".
  
• The Doctor and the Master as children. Theta stealing younger kids to be his companions, Koschei plotting nursery school takeover, failed lab experiments and crack. Throw in Ushas or Drax, or even Braxiatel and be an extra lovely person.
  
• Fifth Doctor meeting Simm!Master has been done but I would like to see it with the Doctor completely convinced that by this time they must have settled down together and Simm totally shocked that the Doctor felt that way at the time. If the Master tells him the truth or nothing or tries to fix things in the for them is all up to you.
  
• Tegan and Turlough are painfully aware that the Doctor and Master are having quite lot of sex but the Doctor still insists that nothing is going on despite the fact that it's terribly obvious and neither of the companions really care that much.
  
• Five waking up the Master with a good morning blow job. (Or the other way around)
  
• Five/Ainley. I've been on to many sex positive blogs today so: fun and happy sex with enthusiastic consent!
  
• I have just listened to the BF audio, The Vanity Box and have come to one conclusion. I need more. (Audio Spoilers in the Prompt)
  
• Master pops up to bother Eleven, but ends up staying and forming a friendship with Rory. Needless to say, Eleven is really jealous of that friendship.
  
• My dear anons, I want the stick of celery. Basically, I was reading an article online about how men can be sneaky with flirting, and the second bullet was all about how celery apparently makes men smell more masculine and makes guys give off more mate-attracting pheromones that make the guy 'more attractive'. My mind automatically went to Five. Is he trying to compensate by being more masculine? Or is he simply sick of all the Master's games and trying to let him know he really just wants a good romp in the bushes when no one is looking? Or maybe he's trying to make the Master jealous by attracting a TARDIS full of young companions. I leave it to you, anons, to tell the tale of the true purpose of the celery.
  
• Gallifreyan Superhero AU - I'd like to see an AU where Gallifrey has superheroes and supervillains (not necessesarily with superpowers, you could just make them badass normals like Batman or Iron Man) and D/M choose the caped lifestyle on Gallifrey rather than becoming renegades. Bonus for any other TLs making cameos as heroes/villains/reporter girlfriends etc.
  
• Ten/Simm!Master, while traveling together the Doctor and Master meet versions of themselves from an alternate universe- namely Lumely!Doctor and Pryce!Master. While neither is pleased by their counterparts romantic relationship (all lies), the Doctor is strangely excited by the idea of a buxom blonde female him running around out there somewhere.
  
• Post Last of the Time Lords Ten is out of his mind drunk in some dive bar. Post Planet of Fire Ainley!Master just happens to be out of his mind drunk in the very same bar. They end up brawling, saying absolutely ridiculous, hilarious shit to each other, crying, and having horrible drunk sex. Alternatively...if that prompt is too specific, I just want more hilariously drunk Ainley!Master in my life, so anything that achieves that end would be lovely.
  
• Five pretending to be full up of sex pollen to save face, but he is really just whore.
  
• The Master has a "Time Crash" incident of his own with another Master. They inevitably talk about the Doctor. Depending on your choice of Masters, possibly also outrage over the lack of someone's facial hair. [It can really be any choice, but if you're looking for a challenge, I've yet to see Simm!Master with War Chief!Master. That would be intriguing.]
  
• Ten/Simm, AU, the Doctor and the Master are just two very delusional John Doe's in a mental institution, whom have an extremely codependent and abusive relationship. The Doctor is subdued but has outlandish fantasies (ie. his companions and space adventures). The Master is more psychotic, torturing animals, hearing voices, following his evil whims. Their psychiatrists try to keep them apart, but even in separate facilities they always manage to get back to one another. Extra extra bonus love for including other characters as other patients or doctors.
  
• Classic Who - The more horrible the atrocity the Master commits the more it turns the Doctor on.
