Fic: Mrs Saxon's Diary. Part 7/10

Feb 28, 2008 13:43

RL is v. busy, so I come to procrastinate... Incidentally this chapter was the first part I wrote (and I have barely altered a word since) - the rest kinda grew around it. I considered posting it first, but in the end decided that I better do the story chronologically ( Read more... )

I loved the way Lucy went on about the "Evil Overlord", and what the Master would have to say about it. It was pretty hilarious, and so him.
I also loved her remembering that Amanda girl, and what she'd been like at the time-such a good little girl, meek, polite.

It occurs to me, as I write, that I could have her killed if I wanted. I won’t. But I could. And I think I now - finally - truly understand my Master.
That part was utterly fascinating. Knowing that she wouldn't actually kill, but that she could, and relishing that power. Knowing the well-mannered little girl, who wanted to become a good wife, became this. Such revenge. ♥ And how it made her closer to the Master-her Master… (And oh, this is actually different from "my Doctor"-I just nailed what made me uncomfortable about it. "My Doctor" is the companion being possessive over the Doctor. "My Master" is the Master possessing her-but if we hold on tight to the mirroring and the fact that it's his name, it also gives her a hold on him. A lesser hold perhaps, but very much ( ... )

You've read The Top 100 Things I'd Do If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord, right?

And the conversion is complete...

"My Master" is the Master possessing her-but if we hold on tight to the mirroring and the fact that it's his name, it also gives her a hold on him. A lesser hold perhaps, but very much there. My Master. My Master. Mutual dependency. My heart. ♥
Excellent insight!

Yes, but a while ago so I just had a lovely time rereading it ;)

I made my daughters read it a while ago. I thought it a necessary part of their cultural education.

And quite right you were. That's really the clichés to avoid. Those girls will have/already have the most smashing cultural education ;)
