I'm late! I thought for sure someone recced this already... Ah, well - if so, it deserves to go around again.

Title: The Body Snatchers (or How the Master finally got inside the Doctor's body)
Pairing: Five/Ainley!Master
Length: About 5000
Summary: Wacky body swap fic. Featuring some plot, and quite a lot of sex.
Rating/warnings: NC-17. There's rimming, if that's a problem for anybody.
Author on LJ: aralias

Why this must be read:
"Wacky body swap fic" doesn't do this one justice at all. As weird as this plot could have been, it turned out rather romantic. The Master spends his whole time in the Doctor's body moping and missing him; the Doctor spends the reverse ruling a planet of Jawas and keeping the Master's gloves on to help him stay in character. So funny and sweet and sexy all together, very characteristic of aralias. It's hilarious and awkward right up until the Doctor tries to keep his gloves on during their *ahem* de-swapping ritual, and from that point on... *regenerates*

Excerpt:
"We’re back in our rightful bodies," the Master pointed out. "There’s no reason to continue."

"Right!" the Doctor said. "Yes. So we are." He stood up, still holding the pillow over his lap, and began to walk backwards towards the door, so the Master wouldn’t be able to see his bottom. Not that the Master hadn’t already seen his bottom, a lot, but it was the principle of the thing-

"Unless you’d like to continue?" the Master offered. He was wearing a rather crazed leer that the Doctor found incredibly attractive despite himself. He thought about his principles. And then he thought about the Master’s tongue, which he was currently using to lick his lips.

"Quite frankly," the Doctor said, coming back over the bed, "it’s the least you could do after all I’ve been through on your behalf."
