Creator's Summary: The Doctor saves the Master, one final time, and gives her the universe to look after in his place. A post 'the Doctor Falls' AU in which the Doctor dies, and the Master goes on; without hope, without witness, without reward.
Characters/Pairings: Missy, Twelve, Clara (mentioned)
Warnings/Notes: Major Character Death (as noted in the summary)
Reasons for reccing: When I looked at the word count for this story, I was surprised it was not longer. Because its not even 2000 words cover such a scale--of time, of life, of emotion and growth--that it feels like an epic. The old Doctor has died a lot in canon, leaving us with someone new who isn't exactly sure about who they are, aside from that stalwart set of values that maintain hope in (as Craig Ferguson so aptly put it) the triumph of intellect and romance over brute force and cynicism. The Doctor always entrusts this to his successors--it's just in this case, Missy is not re-learning who she always was, but in the travels of a newly gifted life, understanding how to become someone entirely new herself, and yet as ancient as the Doctor has always been. Poignant, bittersweet, sad, and brilliant. Don't miss it.
