The Cats one is my favorite. The Doctor and the Master map very well onto Mistoffelees and Macavity.
...Oh god what is wrong with my brain. *whimpers*
Also, the Delgado!Master one is wonderfully poignant for such a small piece. ♥

After the communist Daleks in Brotherhood failed because they were too far over on that 'authoritarian' political map, clearly Libretarian Daleks are the answer. Except they're all such bastards they'd go objectivist and thus they'd be pretty much exactly like they were before...

“But when do I get to be President?”
“Never,” Braxiatel said with infinite repressed bitterness. oh, brax. you will be president! you will be president for TWO WHOLE MINUTES ( ... )

You know the fact that they /contained/ plans, even terrible ones, automatically puts them above like, several serials.
Also I wanted Patronus b/c the Roman Patron/Client relationship is so funny, and so very Gallifrey. "They were required to show up every morning as their patrons "levy" to see if there was any service that their patron required of them that day. "--you have to scramble at ass-crack-of-dawn-o'clock to your patron's house to see if he needs any errands run. I can't imagine them doing this without it being good.
LOOK I CHANGED IT, MAYBE IF WE WENT TO ONE IT WOULD BE OKAY. :(

and i am, in fact, also up on the patron thang, having studied classical civilisation in my youth (or at least, having attended some classes entitled classical civilisation), but i still feel that it's a bit like if the romans had had something called 'quidditch'. it's going to be recognised and make people go - brax is koschei's patronus, what now?
also (this is a very long comment):

There has to be SOME way of not bankrupting yourself on that.
*sigh* Look, just because Rowling randomly appropriates Latin is no reason to fork over the language to her--though actually if that wasn't that random and the spell evolved out of some similar social context, that could be really cool...
Well, I mean. her goodness is arguable, maybe. She did, er, do okay first series? Made some treaties with other temporal powers? And stuff?

Nonononono, I have a month before uni starts again, you're NOT doing this to me. *cowers*
I love the lot. Obviously the Master would be bored if he won without having a worthy opponent around.

I kind of loathe Cats. Really loathe it. But I'd still go to the Master/Cheetah/Kitling revival.
