I was waiting for this to be posted. Good thing I checked back!

'Doctor,' the Master breathed, his voice putting so much emotion, so much hate and love, into the name.

'Master,' the Doctor responded in kind, as though this were part of some sacred ritual that was repeated whenever they met. For a moment he forgot they weren't alone, he just stood there facing his enemy, his friend, as though there was nothing else but the two of them.

The Master stopped and smiled, closing his eyes and breathing a sigh at the sound of the his name. The Doctor knew he always got a bit of pleasure out of hearing it, but he didn't care. He hardly used it and when he did, he didn't mean it.. and the Master knew that, too.

I love this exchanged. I can just see it happening. Keep up the wonderful work!

I am loving this story. The line about megalomaniacs stealing from Orwell XD tipped me over the edge. And, in this line:

"The Master used and discarded humans so easily, as if they were puppets. It was more than a little sickening."

Was I supposed to be reminded of the Doctor's similar tendency?

LOL! Whoa! I wrote the Doctor being sickened without even thinking about it like that... he probably doesn't either... but you're right, he does.. in different ways. Damn, he and the Master have so much in common ^__^

And thanks for the feedback, much appreciated ^^
