ficlet: i gave it up for music

Nov 03, 2011 17:23

justice_turtle asked for a Doctor Who band AU. This is... um, I let you decide what this is.

Also this is very a propos, since I just got my new loudspeakers developed and there's MUSIC. Without tinny sounds.

Fic: I gave it up for music
(Eight, Roberts!Master, Grace Holloway, all ages)
TV Movie, the Band AU. ( Grace has a mad English maybe-alien hiding behind her sofa, and his mad maybe-nemesis at her door, and only her ignorance of modern music to help her save the day. It's more annoying than brain surgery. )

doctor who, fic

LULZ. I love it to bits. Eight is perfect and enjoyable and this is a fun Roberts!Master, and I adore this use of 'band au'.

This is all just an attempt to cover up my complete ignorance about the band AU genre. Like. I have never read a band AU in my life.

I've seen some around and poked, it's not My Thing per se.

It's a good cover-up, though. Like the attractive over-swimming-suit-sarong!costume people wear when they think their thighs are fat which ends up looking like a tasteful tropical ensemble (or horrible profusion of Hawaiian shirt patterns...).

This is the best kind of band!AU in that it isn't a band!AU at all, but a cracky twisting of one! I also like how it appears that at first Grace would rather believe that the Doctor is an alien with the Master as his arch nemesis, than believe that they're in a band.

Imagine the music they'd make. I mean. Evil aliens is by far the less scary alternative.

Fun and clever! I love the dialogue and mannerisms of your Roberts!Master.

bagheera_san November 3 2011, 20:40:05 UTC

Thank you! I'm especially pleased you like my Roberts!Master :)

Awesomesauce. Oh, Eight...

bagheera_san November 3 2011, 20:41:44 UTC

Eight now believes he is in a band. Actually the Master wanted to steal his remaining regenerations, but this is funnier.

“Eighties glam metal phase,” the Master whispered as he went past Grace to kneel by the couch.

I love you for that. I just thought you should know.

For some reason, this fic absolutely charmed me. I'm not usually a big Eight fan, but this was cute.

Oh, dear God. I actually pity the Master after seeing that. XD Because you know now that he's convinced the Doctor he's in a band, the Doctor will make this happen, if just for revenge. Hair and all. Possibly without the pink though. I don't see Eight as a very pink person.
