They make a beautiful contrast. White hair, black hair; frills and jewel-toned velvets, sleek black severity.

The Master likes these newest incarnations very much. He remembers lore from a thousand cultures--though not Gallifrey, which engineers its births--of twins. Of mirrors, light and shadow, creation and destruction.

He thinks of the picture they make together, he and the Doctor: the truth of them inscribed in repeating layers from the clothing to the triple helix. They are each other's meaning, which separation voids.

It's a truth the Doctor will not see. But he must. It is built into the universe.




I'm now taking a new request. The first commenter on DW or LJ can name a fandom (see here on DW or here on LJ for a list of fandoms I can write), a character or pairing, and a brief prompt.
