Reasons for reccing (“Reasons for reccing” in bold): I’m submitting this as my fifth entry in the “Claim a Character” challenge. This is my favorite 13/Dhawan fic, and probably my fave Doctor/Master fic overall. It’s suspenseful and exciting and has gorgeous imagery. The Doctor and Master are very realistic and in-character. Quotes from “Darkness” by Lord Byron are in the story, and they’re woven in very well and help enhance it. The author also made two drawings that go along with the fic, and they’re both very nice. All in all, this is a FANTASTIC (“fantastic” in all caps) story.
