Dancing like everyone is watching (Doctor Who, Third Doctor/The Master)
Nov. 7th, 2025 09:07 pmmelime posting in wipbigbangProject Title: Dancing like everyone is watching
Fandom: Doctor Who (1963)
Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/73844531
Summary: The Master has a plan to take over a minor galactic empire, but of course the Doctor has to interfere. Only in this case the Master's supposed allies might actually be plotting against him, and the Doctor uses the ball as a distraction to tell the Master what he knows. Surrounded by aliens who want them for dinner, their only hope of escaping is working together.
Warnings: no archive warnings, but discussions of aliens who want to eat them
Characters: The Master (Delgado), Third Doctor
Pairings: Third Doctor/The Master
When I Started: July/2024
How I Lost My Shit: I went with another story for that event and ended up not finishing this.
How I Finished My Shit: This event was the perfect excuse, and being matched with someone who also loves classic who was great for my motivation! These are my favourite idiots, I just needed a little push.
