Rec: When There's Life, There's...

[unknown20troper.livejournal.com]

So, I'm your reccer for this fortnight! And my first rec is a fic by the rather-obscure, not-often-on-LiveJournal author that got me into the pairing.
 
Title: Where There's Life, There's...
Pairing: Eight/Jacobi!Master
Length: 1,771 words
Summary: What Would the Master Do If… the Doctor Had Died in the Time War and the Master Had Lived?
Warnings: character death, but the fic is PG
Author on LJ (or Teaspoon, or Prydonian): british_demon
Why this must be read: As I have already said british_demon is the author that, through her fics, got me interested in Doctor/Master. Obviously, that means that her fics are brilliant and full of all the things that I adore about Doctor/Master! And obviously, this fic exemplifies all that. Like, the Master's overriding love/obsession/it's-really-fucking-complicated thing ("A cosmos without The Doctor scarcely bears thinking about.") for the Doctor. And the conflicts in their relationship... and how it can be angsty, sweet or both at the same time. Yeah...
And this fic is very beautiful! The wording's lovely and it really gets me feeling the Master's feelings!
