WAIT. WAIT. I did not understand you meant that zine was going to be Blake/Servelan. Now---now I'd just so befuddled I wand to read it and cry into its pages in wonderment since it does indeed, as you say, actually work.
Also Martha/Master might provide an interesting fic if someone dealt with all the HORRIBLENESS of what would draw either of them into it/how it would function? But I have a hard time seeing Master w/ Human Wimmins. Not from a 'silly OTP kid, monolithic views of pairings are for kids' thing. Though I admit, I have my squicks. and know myself to be sadly loyal to a pairing once I’ve decided that that’s just how the characters MO/emotional dynamics work.
I just have trouble wrapping my brain around 'and then the most arrogant, intelligence obsessed, single-minded alien ever born formed a meaningful connection with a newly-introduced member of a species he found primitive, and then their relationship was functional and of some duration, and also the sex was good.’ I mean, no hate on Martha, she’s a good character who has done some awesome things-she would have to be nuts to want in on his crazy. And then she’d have to like, wait for him in a UNIT lab (conveniently, she has that passcode…) with a white wig and a frilly shirt avec girly velvet jacket to distract him for more than five minutes from 1) evol and 2) the Doctor. I dunno that he was even much invested in Lucy, and she was, er, crazy about him.
Yes, exactly. Martha was both sane and self-reliant enough to recognize an emotionally unhealthy situation when she saw it and get out of there with the Doctor. To get into one with the Master, of all people, she'd have to be - well, either completely broken down or otherwise not Martha anymore. And I love her being Martha. And sane.
