DOCTOR WHO: (Not) Playing to Win
Title: (Not) Playing to Win
Characters/Pairing: The Doctor and the Master
Word Count: 100
Rating: PG
Summary: In which the Doctor is merciful, or so he would like to believe.
Notes: Mostly, I just had to write something to prove I could. Drabbles are good for that. I blame a lot of this Master on trollopfop, and conversations while watching Last of the Time Lords. Written for justprompts.

He looks tired.
A year ago, he was exuberant, laughing and triumphant, victory with no end in sight. Now, he looks tired, worn, and like he just wants it over with. The Doctor's hearts ache for him.
It's hard to see his old friend in the man before him now, the man playing through the steps of a near-flawless plan like a man marching to his own execution.
The Master doesn't play to win, because then the age-old game would be over. Will be over.
The Doctor can break those perfect plans, and when he does, it will be merciful.
