Gorgeous write - loved the characterisation that came through for both of them... the Master very true to what we've seen, but believeably less insane with it, and the Doctor still reeling from all the loss.

But my favourite part had to be ""I'm glad to hear it." The Master reaches out a hand and trails his gloved knuckles down the side of the Doctor's face. "And you like it that way." "... because I have a glove kink that's every bit as strong as my wrist kink, and because I can just *hear* those words in the Master's voice.

Thanks for another wonderful read :-)
