Title: What Would You Die For?
Creator: KsuTerni (Thorny Rose)
Rating: N/A
Word Count/Length/Size: 4:59
Creator's Summary: " - Stand with me. It's all I've ever wanted." " - Me too."
Characters/Pairings: Twelfth Doctor & Missy, Tenth Doctor, Simm!Master
Warnings/Notes: N/A

Reasons for reccing:
Twelve is and shall always be my Doctor, and I adored Missy from the moment she appeared onscreen. This vid teases out the thread of tragic narrative that grows irresistibly during their seasons together, the slow build of Missy's redemption arc that proves her undoing - betrayed and betraying, left to die alone without the Doctor ever knowing that his friend had been coming back to stand with him, a change of hearts that fulfills the theme "without hope/without witness/without reward." There are glimpses here and there of Missy's sass, but the vid concentrates on the development of her conscience and the haunting connection between her and Twelve in their final hour.
