I've figured out why that last chapter freaked me out so much. It's because I let the Master win. Completely.
Well, not quite completely, because the Doctor was holding out on him by being deliberately passive, and Jack got his own back by not giving the Master much info. on his death. But there really wasn't much hope in there for either of them. About the best that could be said was that they were still keeping going.
So I'm making sure there's a bit more hope in the next chapter. It's hard to get much in without alerting the Master to it, since he's telling the story, but I think I'm managing to make it clear that neither of our heroes is quite as downtrodden as the Master thinks they are... *g*
