My first ever! I feel like I've been working on this forever. I've gotten so much enjoyment from the mixes I've downloaded, I hope I can return the favor.
Medium: Television
Fandom: Doctor Who
Subject: Master/Romana, during the Time War
Title: Note to Self: Don't Die
Warnings: Mild spoilers for the end of Season 3, I suppose. Some songs have references to sex.
Notes: They were fighting a war. The young president needed something to distract herself from the nightmares. The renegade did what he did best; take advantage... or at least that's what he told himself. Stranger things have happened.

01. Apocalypse Please - Muse
Setting the stage: the Time War.
Declare this an emergency
Come on and spread a sense of urgency
And pull us through it all
And pull us through it all
And this is the end, the end
This is the end
Of the World
02. This Town's Religion - Delays
President Romana of Gallifrey
I don’t get it, but somehow I’m still right here
And this is the world we made,
It's too late to start again,
But at least I know where I belong...
03. Note to Self: Don't Die - Ryan Adams
The Master resurrected
Note to self: don't change for anyone
Note to self: don't die
Note to self: don't change for anyone
Don't change, just lie
04. Getting Scared - Imogen Heap
Romana is not afraid of the renegade.
So ya gonna chase me now boy
Yeah ya gonna corner me now boy
You think ya gonna threaten me now boy
Somehow I dont think so
05. Knights of Cydonia - Muse
The Master doubts they can win.
Come ride with me
Through the veins of history
I'll show you how God
Falls asleep on the job
And how can we win?
When fools can be Kings
Don't waste your time
Or time will waste you...
06. Temptation - VAST
Romana at the edge
You are my temptation
To do what I know is
You are my temptation
To do what I knew is wrong
What I knew is wrong is you
I stand alone now
I stand alone
Can you save me from myself
Oh, please
07. Sex Type Thing - Stone Temple Pilots
The Master knows what Romana is thinking, and it delights him.
I ain't, I ain't, I ain't
A-buyin' into your apathy
I'm gonna learn ya my philosophy
You wanna know about atrocity, atrocity?
I know you want what's on my mind
I know you like what's on my mind
I know it eats you up inside
I know, you know, you know, you know
08. Blood - Editors
Romana tells herself she's not in too deep.
Blood runs through your veins,
That's where our similarity ends
Blood runs through our veins
There's nothing believable in being honest
So cover your lies up with another promise
09. Pain - Three Days' Grace
The Master shows Romana a new way to look at the universe.
You're sick of feeling numb
You're not the only one
I'll take you by the hand
And I'll show you a world that you can understand
This life is filled with hurt
When happiness doesn't work
Trust me and take my hand
When the lights go out you will understand
10. Better - Regina Spektor
Romana wonders if the Master even registers her.
If you never say your name out loud to anyone
They can never ever call you by it
If I kiss you where it's sore
If I kiss you where it's sore
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all?
11. Under Your Skin - Luscious Jackson
The Master corrupts
lie down in the fire with me
i burn everything frequently
if it don't feel good
when you first get in
wait 'til it gets under your skin
12. Sleep Together - Garbage
Romana is deep in, and doesn't want out.
The emptiness
The craziness
Satisfy this hungriness
...
If we sleep together
Will you like me better
If we come together
We'll go down forever
13. Wasteland - Institute
The affair is their refuge.
Find mad love in a wasteland
Find space in everything you can
Find mad love in the wasteland
Find space, find space
14. No Children - The Mountain Goats
The end.
I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow
I hope it bleeds all day long
Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises
We're pretty sure they're all wrong
I hope it stays dark forever
I hope the worst isn't over
And I hope you blink before I do
Yeah I hope I never get sober
And I hope when you think of me years down the line
You can't find one good thing to say
And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out
You'd stay the hell out of my way
I am drowning
There is no sign of land
You are coming down with me
Hand in unlovable hand
And I hope you die
I hope we both die
15. Blacklisted - Neko Case
The Master flees.
To what smooth place at the end of the line
With crackling fires and quiet plains
Do the trees bend down
Fold their limbs round you
Welcome home faithful one
We forgive you
Slow down fast train
Slow down fast train
Take me with you
16. A Bad Dream - Tufts Beelzebubs
Becoming Yana.
I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired
To be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting kind
Bonus Track: Ghost of a Shark - Tom McRae
In another universe.
I'm gonna leave any minute
Another skyline disappears
Sunlight in the mirror
Blinding me all these years
Oh am I coming back
I'll never leave
Oh am I coming back
I'll never leave
