dw_guestfest. I re-watched The Mind of Evil recently and Chin Lee caught my imagination. She is rather unique among the Master’s minions, more like a companion than any other, at least until Lucy Saxon. It is clear that being a companion to the Doctor changes the companion’s lives, usually for the better. It seemed to me that those who survive serving the Master must be affected by their experience as well, though not in a positive way. Chin Lees disappears halfway through The Mind of Evil after she has been found out and I doubt that the Master ever thought about her again. But I doubt she got away unscathed. The the title and the quote at the end is from the anonymous lyrics to John Downland’s song Come Again.

Title: The Problem With Lucy
Rating: PG--13
Genre: Darkfic
Characters: The Master (Simms), Lucy Saxon, the Tenth Doctor
Pairings: The Master/Lucy Saxon,
Warnings: Mindfuck, non-explicit violence and torture.
Summary: The problem with Lucy was that she was so stupid.
AN: AN: I have a problem with both Lucy and Simm’s Master, for me they don’t quite gel. Lucy goes from adoring wife to basically catatonic in a year, but we, the audience, aren’t given any good explanation for that transformation. Her actions when the Master releases the Toclafane seem rather psychopathic, but if she is that, then she wouldn’t break down like does. But why this breakdown if she has always known who the Master was? Mind control seems quite likely, he is using it on the rest of the world after all, but we are never given that explanation. It really annoys me. I really like John Simm as an actor, but I don’t think they have written his Master well at all. Both Delgado and Ainley (Roberts I have yet to see) are camp and over the top, but they do it seriously, which I think greatly adds to their menace. Simm’s Master has some high points, but overall he is written as either completely crazy or violent in a very mundane way. Not in a Master-worthy way, I suppose I mean. So this fic as I attempt to explain both Lucy and the Master in a way that satisfies at least me.
