Summary: Sometimes the Doctor is his own worst enemy. Or his most annoying enemy, anyway.
Why this must be read: Another gem from the anon meme. Ten is usually considered a sexy Doctor, Six is usually (wrongly) considered an unsexy Doctor, so I like that role reversal - it's funny while being justified in the fic. I like Ten's awkwardness in the role-playing, and the way that's treated like something much worse than what actually happens: hardly embarrassing at all, just annoying. I laughed a lot the first time I read this. I continue to laugh about it whenever I reread it. It is very good. Do read and comment and everything.
"This is stupid," whined the Doctor. "It's just making me feel embarrassed. I was so daft when I was young, I don't need to relive it."
The Master cracked an eye open, looking very put-upon.
"There must have been some good things about that regeneration," he said, changing tacks from threats to coaxing. "Don't you miss anything?"
"No. No, I don't. Not a thing. Well, some things. Evelyn."
