I was just digging in my WIPs folder for that Fanfic Friday meme, and I found this and realized I’d never posted it anywhere.

They only exist in moments stolen from time, interludes
bought by letting go of everything else.

“What is it?” the Master mumbles, drowsy but alert to the
Doctor’s distress.

“I hate leaving,” the Doctor whispers regretfully.

alive.  Pain and glory go hand in hand.”

The Doctor smiles sadly.
“No one’s ever hurt me the way you do.”

“You say the sweetest things.”  The Master smiles and kisses his shoulder.
