    Summary

    'Oh!' said Jo. 'There’s this—' She glanced at the Brigadier. 'Terrorist or something. I think. He calls himself the Master.'

    'Do you often,' asked Dr. Fischer, 'spend your holidays drunkenly impersonating terrorists?'

    'Mostly just the one,' said Jo.

    'Right.'

    'It’s very funny, I promise,' said Jo earnestly. 'It’s only that the Brigadier is giving me the stink eye so I don’t think that I’m allowed to tell you why.'

    Summary

    “I am starting to think this was a mistake.”

    “Oh, darling.” Missy grins, and leans over to hold the side of his face. Her thumb rubs carefully over a tiny spot of oily dirt right under his eye. It’s gentle. She can be gentle. This new her. The Doctor leans into her hand, ever so slightly, then more obvious, and it makes something in her hum. “Did you ever feel like this was going to be a good thing at any point?”

    He doesn’t answer.

    Summary

    "If you went and got yourself killed without me," the Master rasps, not opening his eyes, "I'm going to be extremely cross."

    Summary

    When she was bargaining for her life with the Doctor, Missy had merely expected him to, in the best case scenario, fiddle with the device, save her life, maybe have some tea together, and then they’d both be on their way. Worst case scenario? Well, she didn’t want to touch on those thoughts at all, really.

    What she didn’t expect was to be locked in a prison for the next thousand years with the Doctor as her jailor.

    This really couldn’t end well.

    The Doctor and Missy, together in the Vault and after.

    Summary

    Obviously, truth is stranger than fiction, and there’s always going to be edge cases in the real world, but for our purposes: just how realistic is Armand’s tragic backstory?

    Judging by the number of retweets/reblogs on this post and others like it, fannish opinion seems to be “not very”. But honestly? It’s not that far-fetched.

    Or: a fannish academic does a deep dive into the most controversial character in Daniel Molloy’s new novel.
