Rec: Things That Were Not, Yet Should Have Been
Hello! Merry Christmas everyone! IIIII will be your reccer for the next two weeks. And in the spirit of Christmas and the Christmas Special (did everyone love it? I loved it) let's start off with some Eleven.
Title: Things That Were Not, Yet Should Have Been
Pairing: Eleven/Ainley!Master
Length: 780
Summary: Two Time Lords meet along an unraveling timeline.
Warnings: Erm, the author warns for vague spoilers for The Five Doctors and The Big Bang, which hopefully for most is not an issue anymore.
Author: eumenides at Teaspoon
Why this must be read: I am often dubious about how new who and classic d/m pairings would actually work, which is sad because mismatched d/m is one of my favourite things ever. This fic is lovely because it overcomes those issues, possibly because it's such a fragmentary glimpse but also I think because it's grounded in a very strong, practical, obssessive Ainley, who's at that wonderful For-Once-I'll-Actually-Put-Our-Relationship-Ahead-Of-My-Schemes-And-Think-Logically-About-How-To-Make-This-Work 5Ds stage (if only one incarnation hadn't tried to punch him in the face. Just one. The ship would be a very different place.) He doesn't really care about what kind of trouble the Doctor's got himself into, or what issues he has. He wants him no matter the regeneration. Really I think much more fic could follow in this one's lead. The avenues The Big Bang provided bear exploring. I also have a special place in my heart for people who use show quotes in fic. And this one uses one of the best.
Excerpt: “I don’t have much time left,” the Doctor interrupted. “I wasn’t sure I wanted to do this, letting myself get swept along. I don’t like replays. But now I’m glad I did. I’m glad I could see you again.”
