ficlet project: "Anti/Thesis" (Doctor Who)
Title: Anti/Thesis
Fandom: Doctor Who
Pairing: Delgado!Master/Third Doctor, in a way
Rating: All ages
Warnings: None needed
Word count: 100
Summary: The theory and practice of opposition.
Notes: Written for stunt_muppet, whose prompt was "motifs."
They make a beautiful contrast. White hair, black hair; frills and jewel-toned velvets, sleek black severity.
The Master likes these newest incarnations very much. He remembers lore from a thousand cultures--though not Gallifrey, which engineers its births--of twins. Of mirrors, light and shadow, creation and destruction.
He thinks of the picture they make together, he and the Doctor: the truth of them inscribed in repeating layers from the clothing to the triple helix. They are each other's meaning, which separation voids.
It's a truth the Doctor will not see. But he must. It is built into the universe.
I'm now taking a new request. The first commenter on DW or LJ can name a fandom (see here on DW or here on LJ for a list of fandoms I can write), a character or pairing, and a brief prompt.
