Rec: multi-era D/M vid - "Cold Crush"

[narwhale-callin.livejournal.com]

**insert my stompy dinosaur feet on belatedly discovering that this vid is already somewhere on this comm and thus I can't be the cool person that introduces it**
However, it hasn't been recced yet, so I may as well rec it for the new people who might not have seen it, because it's that awesome.

Title: Cold Crush
Pairing(s): Damn near all of them
Length: 1:08
Description: a multi-era D/M vid set to Limp Bizkit’s “All That Easy”
Warnings/Rating: None; G
Vidder: OsaNona22 on Youtube, though s/he goes by something else here on LJ (which I can’t remember)

Why this must be watched:

It is like watching an entire minute of visual-audio art. This vid provokes so much backstory and angst and yearning and longing in just one minute, and it doesn’t feel the least bit overdone in any way nor do you end up feeling like you got cut off too short at the end. Phenomenal editing. And it has War Chief!Master in it! That almost never happens! My favourite part, though, is the amazing inclusion and juxtaposition of sad!Nine with sad!Yana!Master. Brilliant. Overall, a beautiful collage of the Doctor/Master dynamic set to a very well-chosen song.

Excerpt: I wish, I wish—I wish it was all that easy.

FIC - [Doctor Who] - Eleven/AU!Master - "They Get Younger and Stronger"

[kyatto.livejournal.com]

[Title:] "They Get Younger and Stronger"
[Author:] Kyatto
[Rating:] R
[Pairing:] Doctor (11)/Master (!AU)
[Word Count:] 2,724
[Spoilers:] For "The Wedding of River Song"
[Summary:] The Doctor finds himself feeling suddenly lost and damaged, with no idea and no recollection as to what may have happened. The last thing he expected to encounter after this would be a newly regenerated Master. Since when was the Master willing to help?
[Notes:] Written for and inspired by a clever Anon over at eleventy_kink ♥

( After several futile seconds of half-assed struggling, the Doctor conceded and settled into that position. Despite the awkwardness, he wasn’t about to ruin an opportunity to get some answers. Even if it meant playing the Master’s little games for a while. He had plenty of time, now. )
