scripsiToday I ruined myself on tea. Ever tried Kusmi tea? It’s expensive but the quality is wonderful. It isn’t sold everywhere and I often buy it online, which I find a bit of a hassle. So I have been all run out, but I was a bit early when I was a to meet a friend today and made a small detour to kill time. And found that they sell Kusmi tea in a shop just a block from where I usually pass. Yay! So now I have bought Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Green the with jasmine and Prince Vladimir, which is a scented black tea and I’m SO happy my salary is due tomorrow.
So this post of brought to you with a steaming cup of Prince Vladimir.
Title:Sarn Invictus
Author:icarus_chained
Fandom: Doctor Who
Genre Gen
Length: 2323
Rating: General Audience
Warnings: None
Characters/pairing: The Master (Delgado), the Master (Ainley)
Summary: To escape immolation on Sarn (Planet of Fire), the Master casts himself temporarily back down his own timestream, and has a brief and enlightening conversation with his past self before it's safe to rejoin the present.
Why I rec it: I gave the prompt “Classic Who, the Master comparing notes with himself” for the Obscure & British Commentfest and this one was one of the answering fics. (The other one, The Spirit of Vengeance by irishvampre13 is also excellent). Sarn Invictus is all I could ever hope for, it’s truly great. Both Master’s are spot on, they have their own distinct voices, but at the same time they are both the Master and both react to himself very much in character. Coinsidently it also gives a (for the show) plausible explanation to how the Master could survive Planet of Fire despite, you know, dying.
Also, both Delgado and Ainley at the same time- my little fangirl heart swoons happily at the very thought of it.
