Summary: If it ever happens that the Doctor thinks about the Master.


If it ever happens that the Doctor thinks about the Master, which he will have to admit is more often than he would wish it was, he sometimes muses that they are like yin and yang. Forever the opposite of each other, but still unable to be apart. The universe is so vast and still they end up at the same place and time, over and over again.

True, it has often been of the Master’s machinations. No one was ever fooled when he just couldn’t stop coming back to Earth when the Doctor was stuck there, but it is not always because of the Master that they meet. Or himself. They just do, suddenly flinging their minds at each other so hard one would think that they would one day meld together and form a whole.

Always the mirror images of each other, never able to let the other one go. There is even, the Doctor knows, a touch of darkness in himself. Choices he regrets, those that did not spring from the will to do the best for everyone. The thing inside him that can be selfish and cruel and sometimes wins.

There is just one thing that doesn’t balance out, that the Doctor can’t grasp. He can confess to his darkness, but where, in that case, is the Master’s light? Try as he might, the Doctor can’t (or is it won’t?) see that there is anything in the Master that is good.

Well, cat's have traditionally always been seen as opposites as dogs, who is "man's best friend". :) With that said, I have both cats and dogs and though I own the dogs, the cats certainly own me...

Well, we own neither.. you can see why we don't own cats, because we have a bird. I think she owns us, actually. Birds are incredibly messy, throwing their seed everywhere and doing their business wherever they are sitting. She's pretty smart and cuddly, though. She loves her neck rubs!

Birds make good pets. :) But they do make things messy.

They are worse than small children! But they have such personality!

LOL, yes. I have a friend who has an African Grey and he is such a clown. And he is close friend with their dog, he sits on the collar and take rides. :)

Ours is a cockatiel; just the right size for us, but with plenty of personality. When she molts, though.... it's a mess!

They are very cute too. :) Except, perhaps, when they molt. ;)
