The green-eyed monster
Challenge Young Alt!One/Rose and Alt!Master
Rose meets Alt!Doctor number one… alias Theta Sigma. He's still a student at the Time Academy and friend with Koshei.
How they meet is up to you.
As Theta hasn't yet his Time Lord title, Rose doesn't know he's the Doctor … and falls in love with him.
Seeing Rose as "special" and a perfect equal to a future Time Lord, Theta goes back to Gallifrey with his human lover and marries her.
Some Time Lords accept this situation (tell us why… Does Theta lie about Rose's origins? Is it because of the Bad Wolf?) , others don't.
But the happy couple doesn't care. They're together, and that's the most important.
However, Theta becomes more and more powerful and some starts to envy his success in politics, mastery of Time and love.
Koshei, now The Master, is one of them… But he hides it well, playing the good friend, loyal and honest (Yeah, right, honest Iago!).
And knowing that Theta's blushing bride still holds a torch for her other Doctor in her own universe could be more than helpful…
Ok, so yesterday, I was listening to Othello (Verdi's opera) and this idea came to me. I could see Rose as Desdemona, the Doctor as Othello and the Master as Iago.
Except of course that Rose is no poor innocent victim- she's certainly not going to let things happen, she's going to fight… and anyway, I think the Doctor would need more than a bloody handkerchief to loose his mind.
But the Master as Iago? Hell yes!
And our Rose on Gallifrey, meeting the Time Lords? God, I'd love to see/ read that!
I wondered a very long time about who could be the new Cassio.
Mickey? Err… No, really…
Jack? No problem here, he'd just shag them both (lol)
Some other character, a common friend, a Time Lord maybe?
But being jealous of himself? Lol, this is just so doctorish! I couldn't resist!
