The thing about the Master was, like the Doctor had told Martha and Jack, he really didn’t want to kill him. It just wasn’t an option. Oh, he could go on and on about Time Lord responsibilities, and mercy, and forgiveness, but he knew they didn’t believe any of that anyway; how could you forgive someone who ordered the death of six hundred million people? In truth, it came down to this: for the first time in years-so many years, spread across centuries and millennia, made lengthier by grief-there was another one out there, another person who knew the universe, another person who could comprehend the full scope of time and space. And the person was mad, yes. The Master would never be an ally, and certainly never a friend, and if he remained loose, it would be a bad situation for all concerned. But the Master knew. And the Doctor wanted so, so desperately to be able to talk about what had happened, even if he wouldn’t get any sympathy in return, even if the other side of the conversation would be nothing but mockery and disdain. He’d

Well, given that the TARDIS is always referred to as a she, I would say it's technically het...(and practically canon)
I'll give you something, and it will be either sweet and adorable or strangely sad, but whatever it will be, it will be tomorrow, because it's late and I dunwanna write any more.
There were times when the Doctor didn’t have companions.
Not many, granted, but they seemed to stretch out far longer than they should, and it always felt strange to not have anyone to explain things to or get help from or just have around. He could do his job, sure. He didn’t need another set of hands to overthrow the tyrant king of Malshek, and he was certainly quite capable of rescuing Marilyn Monroe from the Dejorni assassins on his own, and he had never required much in the way of assistance with the daily maintenance of the TARDIS. The key words, though, were “need” and “capable” and “required”. The Doctor could get by on his own. It was just…a little harder, somehow. Saving a civilization was all well and good, but there was always a persistent little longing for having someone to save it with. There was no point in watching the molten-gold twin sunsets of Helisia without someone who would be far more amazed by them than he would ever be. (And it was not at all due to the fact that Helisia was a popular destination for

i especially liked the bit about "Saving a civilization was all well and good, but there was always a persistent little longing for having someone to save it with."..
'cause that has always been my feeling about the matter... okay, well so i haven't saved any civilizations recently but like right now.. i'm at the beach.. i love the beach.. the ocean is my Best Friend and i always feel right here. but it's so much better when there is someone there to be there with. SoYeah.
..also, i have to say, i really was only kidding and i din't expect you to write anything, but i am so fantastically glad you did 'cause words don't exist in my head to tell you how awesome this is to me!
Glad you liked it so much! :D Psssh, I was glad to write it, it was fun. (Writing Doctor Who snippets is deeply satisfying. Deeply satisfying. So satisfying that it makes me not want to go back to the BDPS, which crawls like a crippled snail and has very few opportunities for making up names of alien civilizations at all...)
heh. glad i could distract, er, encourage you along those lines! i've been lovin' on the Doctor for a ridiculous long time now, so i understand completely ^_^

Err... I was going to post this here, but LJ says it's just slightly too long, so I posted it here instead. Sorry 'bout that... (or maybe it's a good thing because I'm not hogging most of the page on your LJ? ^_^)

Damn, man! I scribble down 400 words off the top of my head and you give me meaningful, interesting musings? And then you go and connect it back to my scribbles--you've got wisdoms, yo. And I've got incoherency, because it's late and I'm tired. But still! Amazing little theories and I'm thrilled to have inspired them!

[ delay in response due to out-of-townness, please pardon the dust, your LJ entry is important to us and will be answered in the order in which it was received [cue music you've never heard of but which sounds kind of like what comes out of most over-cranked car stereos these days] ]
Well, that's what writingses is all about, isn't it? You managed to shine a brief light on something that's maybe kind of important and fundamental about The Sentient Condition. All I did, to oversimplify just a bit, was go "ooh, shiny!" and grab the flashlight from you ;-)
