Well, American!thanksgiving is over which means that it's officially Christmas. Right? I'm pretty sure that's how it works. Anyway, to kick off this month plus long holiday, how about a nice Drabble arrangement? Think of it like Eddible arrangements, only with copious Doctor/Master tidbits.

(Artist's rendering)

( A small collection of very tasty drabbles in a variety of flavors ) So have at it and merry drabblemess.

Title: You Don't Love Me Anymore
Video by: Tulapeiwa
Pairing: all D/M pairings
Length: 3:58
Rating: G
Why this must be watched: This is the very best kind of crack. Hilariously clever way of blending the song's lyrics and the clips. Who knew Weird Al and Doctor Who would go so well together, lol. Brilliant video! I laughed so hard.

Happy birthday, Derek Jacobi - but this is Six day, so you'll just have to share. (Pretend today's recs are switched with yesterday's, how's that?)

Multiple Six recs today, which, unfortunately, is all the Six I will be reccing. =( I like Six. I was just watching him today. I will not complain if somebody writes Six/Jacobi!Master for the birthday challenge...

( Two fics by neveralarch, and a bonus video for the lulz... )

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. *sporfle*

**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.

( Video below the cut! )

Another one featuring Six - it feels like when I managed to rec two Four/Master fics in one calufrax session (and yet these are so good!)

Title: Office AU (not its real title)
Pairing: Six/Ainley!Master. Bonus companions include Mel! And Evelyn!
Length: 4 comment threads
Summary: It's Doctor/Master if they both worked in an office!
Author on LJ:

Why this must be read: Do I need to say high-larious? Oh my god, this fic is so brilliant. I admit I am a bit of a sucker for the silly AU-prompt, but the reason I am, my friends, is that it frequently yields such good results. This is an exceptionally funny example of the genre. It's such a banal setting for two such brilliant people, and yet they are still brilliant and still too weird for other people not to notice and talk about them - in this case apparently to their faces. My not so secret favourite part of this is that Mel and the Master are friends for some reason - I love Mel, because she's a wonderful, perky character, and for some reason teaming her up with rabbidly annoyed Ainley!Master is one of the most perfect things I never knew I wanted. More Six fic is something I did know I wanted - hopefully you did too because I have an excerpt and a link for you.

Excerpt:
"We're not still talking about the Doctor, are we?" Mel rolled her eyes. "So much time spent chatting about this guy you don't even like."

"'Don't like' is an understatement," corrected Estram. "I loathe him. I can't stand him."

"You're so melodramatic," said Mel. "He's all right. A bit eccentric."

"He's in marketing, you're allowed to call him insane. He makes us call him Doctor."

"He's proud of his higher education," said Mel.

Good Day, Ladies, Gentlemen, and those of the 26 genders of Metabelix 9. My name is RF93, and I am to be your latest Reccer.

I would like to speak to you briefly on the subject of Doctor/Master Fanvids.

Now I'm sure many or most of you will have seen the worst this category has to offer, shoddily constructed affairs set to pop or rock songs, looping the same three scenes from 'Last of the Time Lords' a half a dozen times.

While these can be entertaining, I understand that the fine members of B_E are a certain level of connoisseur, and expect nothing but the best for their viewing pleasure.

To that effect, I wish to introduce, or rather remind my readers that while we are fortunate enough to have extraordinary authors and remarkable artists, Doctor/Master fandom is host to several excellent fanvids of both old and new D/M varieties.

As with most fanfiction of this pairing, two basic genres of vid exist. For the purposes of this review, I have chosen one of each category.

The Epic: Space Dementia by nastally
Pairing: All Doctor/Master, emphasis on New Who.
Why It Should Be Watched: The creator describes this as her Magnum Opus, and it truly is. The editing is beautiful, with some of the best timing and cuts I have ever seen, set to slightly haunting music. While not a fast paced video, it does not give the feeling of slowing or growing repetetive throughout its six minute run, the artist using every era and (my favorite gimmick), well incorporated quotes from the show to paint one of the best psychological and historical profiles of this pairing.
Warnings: Leaves that wonderfully slightly sad and disturbed feeling in the pit of your stomach that only the best fics and artwork do.

The Crack: Drop Dead Gorgeous by GeckoGoose
Pairing: All Doctor/Masters up to 'LotTL'
Why It Should Be Watched: In the way that only sometime crack!fic and vids can do, this is a perfect representation of Doctor/Master, (to say nothing of Doctor/Master Fandom) through the years. With every canonized version of both our Best Enemies, quick and playful editing and above all, perhaps the catchiest song with remarkably relevant lyrics since ABBA's Mamma Mia. While highly under appreciated at only 1200 views, this is perhaps one of the best in D/M Crack!vids.
Warnings: No, seriously. This song will stick in your head whether you love it or hate it.

Thank you for your time. Please continue to enjoy your LiveJournal Experience.

Long time coming but well timed for my very favourite Master's birthday:

Title: The Effects of Transposed Values
Wordcount: 12,000
Rating: Adult
Characters: Ainley!Master (x2), Fifth Doctor, Sixth Doctor
Pairing(s): Doctor/Master
Summary: In a universe next door things turned out far better for the Master
until a disturbance in the multi-verse swaps one universe’s Master for
another stranding both versions of the Time Lord in unfamiliar
territory.

Link: The Effects of Transposed Values at Ao3

Welcome to my first drabble-rec! Longer fics will be reserved for Monday-Wednesday-Friday, while Tuesdays and Thursdays will have drabble recs and a challenge. Yeah, I really did mean it when I said you'd be hearing a lot from me these two weeks. Odds are you will be sick of me by the time I'm finished.

When I call this a drabble-rec... Well, do not be fooled, dear comm members. There is a very large possibility I will still take up just as much space talking. One should always be weary of giving Memory a reason to talk. Bearing that in mind, let us get a start on the first one!

Title: None that I can find, written for the ¡Viva la Revolución! challenge awhile back.
Pairing: Six/Ainley Master, Evelyn
Length: 350~ish
Summary: Livejournal is down and the Doctor is very put out.
Warnings: Highly awesome Six and Evelyn

Why this must be read:

When I saw the challenge to do something with the recent DDoS attacks on lj, I had a plot already in mind. Picture the Doctor, upset over his favorite site being down. What does he do? Obviously, drag whatever poor companion he had at the time to go find out what was behind it.

tardiscrash just beat me to it. <3

Granted, our fics had a different cause of the DDoS from the beginning, but still. Great minds think alike.

We also think different. While mine was Ten and Donna, tardiscrash did an absolutely lovely Six and Evelyn. Now, I've only ever actually seen one Six serial (which was the Two Doctors, so technically not even a fully Six serial), but I am a little BFA fangirl. Evelyn has to be one of my all time favorite companions. Ever. Seriously, to me, for all intents and purposes, she is canon. By extension, I also love Audio Six for whom she is such a perfect foil for.

That's why I do so love it when anything comes along that happens to have a lovely Evelyn voice. This not only fits that bill, but has a equally lovely Six voice. I think I squeed while reading this, if just for the voices alone. That, and I love the mental image painted of Six in his pj's. <3

I can't find anywhere else that has the drabble, so you get the quickly uploaded and typo filled version. Still, it's extremely amusing. Forgive the typos and read it anyway!

Link to the story: Found here.

Challenge time! (under an lj cut so it's not quite as flist spam-y)

The other day I sat down and watched all of the Pepe le Pew cartoons. I came to the conclusion that the Master makes a lot more sense if you think of him as an evil version of our favorite skunk. Behold, the crack-spawn of my brain.

Here's how it goes: I take dialogue from Pepe le Pew cartoons, then add them to appropriate Doctor/Master images. It all adds up to sweet, glorious crack. I pray that the "cut" feature works for this.

( Everyone should have a hobby )

I bring you fic about Time Lord safe sex! I don't know if this a thing you wanted, but it is a thing I wanted basically forever, so we're just going to have to compromise here.

Cosmic Galacticians
Rating: teen
(mentions of body-parts, kissing, mind sex)
Characters: Six/Ainley!Master
Wordcount: 2,200ish
Summary: "We had sexual education at the Academy," said the Doctor, testily. "I know you were there, as you and Drax kept throwing pieces of paper at my head."
A/N: inspired by a post by

innocentsmith . Thanks!

Today is the birthday of Colin Baker (Six!). IN THE NEXT TWO DAYS: write/art some birthday!fic in the comments, or link to it! RECS, META AND RANDOM COMMENTS ABOUT THE SUBJECT ALSO WELCOME!

Celebrate the existence of:

SIX!

"Evelyn this chocolate-cake replica of my body is the most perfect gift you could have possibly given me. Master, you could learn from her!!"

Cheer is not mandatory, it is just AWESOME.

This spontaneous funtimes challenge ends aprox. when the 10th of June begins, so don't stress about it: just make us a quick prezzie!

Check out this AMAZING new fic from this morning, it's like someone knew it was BakerDay! Please please please rec similarly good Sixfics or write some new stuff, we could all stand to hear more about this under-appreciated Doctor.

alexwearspants.livejournal.com

So, ages and ages and ages ago (I want to say 2009 but I also want to delude myself that my art's improved since then, ah decisions) I listened to Doctor Who and the Pirates. We can all guess what happened then. The thing was I completely forgot about it, until the brilliant

tula_peiwa went and coloured it for me, because she is brilliant.

( I refuse to make some kind of fan-aaarrrrrrt joke. )

anadapta0801.livejournal.com

It's a statistical likelihood that everyone knows Baby Got Back, yes? Or the Johnathan Coulton cover? Well you/we/they may be less aware of its unholy fandom offspring (fanspring?), Baker Got Back. Yes, it does break the fourth wall, and no, it's not about the one with the scarf.

A version without the middle eight, recorded by an excellent humanoid who wishes to remain anonymous is here: click it, go on, do.
And lyrics are below the cut.
( Oh my god, Sek, observe his posterior region. )

Oh my god I meant to post more recs than this over my brief period as tastetester for you fine folks. Ah well, let's end on a particularly high note.

Title: Sartorial Differences

Pairing: Six/Ainley!Master

Length: approx 2,500

Summary: In order to make Trial of a Time Lord make some sort of sense, the Doctor goes back in time, to before his trial, to ask if the Master would mind doing him a massive favour...

Warnings: Spoilers for Trial of a Time Lord: The Ultimate Foe

Author on LJ (or Teaspoon, or Prydonian):

aralias

Why this must be read: OK, first of all this is a fic that explains not one but two wardrobe changes in what I feel is a very cogent, humorous manner. (Oh, and the whole messed up end of Trial thing, but surely that is of less import.) And did I say humorous? I meant hilarious. There are fics you read that are funny and you have a smile on your face the whole way through. Then there are fics like this, where you're snorting and giggling and kind of hoping no-one can hear you, but at the same time you're boggling because it's all so wonderfully in character. This is Six and Ainley at their snarky, brilliant best. They spar perfectly and the delight is in how they not only clearly want each other, but are enjoying their one-upmanship just as much as having found a pretext for sexytimes. There are traces of the old Three/D!Master partnerships here, but they are in no way mistakeable for anyone but themselves. And Six. Six being sneaky and sexy and smug what more do you need from a fic?

So I made a lot of icons, many of them d/m themed, some of them Master themed, and a few Doctorish ones for lulz. And. They are here. Because of lulz? Yes, that makes sense.

( 31 Icons, of many different flavours. )

tula-peiwa.livejournal.com

In which various Doctors and Various Masters are generally nasty to each other. (In a bittersweet, loving sort of way)

alexwearspants.livejournal.com

So you guys, did you know that colouring is really hard? Like, really really hard? I ... I had guessed this before. BUT NOW I KNOW IT'S REALLY HARD. Which is why while I inked this ages ago I only finished it yesterday (I confess a lot of that period was me sulking and swearing never to touch a computer again.) And also why only one of these three arts is coloured. .... Look, you needed to know this.

Anyway, have some Five/Ainley, Six/Ainley and Six/Roberts (because Roberts needs love).

( Oh my blonde haired, blue eyed Adonis! )

x-losfic.livejournal.com

Earlier, for Three/Delgado!Master and Five/Ainley!Master challenges , I had occasion to do pretty thorough Episode and Pairing Dynamic Guides*. It's been pointed out to me that it's a bit lop-sided having these and not similar ones for Four, Six, Seven, and Eight, etc.

( Here is one for Six. )

*Nothing so authoritative as that--obviously mine is but one, often flawed, opinion. Still, it's nice to have overview-ish things available for reference.

anadapta0801.livejournal.com

This was entirely

tula_peiwa and

alex_e_smith 's idea, which I have now stolen from them.
They say it's better to give than to receive. This is entirely up for debate, however, and one side of the argument is illustrated below. Curiously enough said illustration is entirely worksafe.
