'Get out of the way.'

i'm clawing at your skin, trying to see your bones by ProdigalPragmatist

Summary
The Doctor doesn't know himself. He sees this second-hand face as a mask, far too afraid to peek underneath and see the flesh of his past, present, future. He wants to heal, he needs to heal, and only one person in eternity remembers who he was.
The Master is calmer without the drums, relaxed under the weight of centuries, but by no means less cruel. He whispers of possibility, of power and unreserved possession, and it goes both ways. He has his own wants, his own needs, and the choice is in the Doctor's trembling hands.

Summary
“You know what they say – lucky at dice, unlucky in love.”
But that didn’t quite work, does it?
“Do they say that?”
“No.”, he repeated and Yasmin chuckled at it. Her face did a thing there, a little, tiny thing. Something luminous. Something far away. Something vivid.
O didn’t care. The Master did.
Another one of your earth girls falling head over heels for you, Doctor, he thought while his lips curled into a smile. Then a grin. The sheer force of hate and murder and mine and for you, for you, for you that washed over him caught him off guard and it almost made him loose his composure.
Oh.
Lump in his throat.
Swallow.
(Anything but be left behind again.)
It still didn’t quite work.

Summary
“D’ wanna talk about it,” he mutters as they shuffle out of the hospital. Or, rather, Ellie’s the one doing most of the shuffling as she walks behind Alec’s wheelchair, white-knuckling the handles and wishing she had a free hand to rub her temple with.
or, what if ellie had picked up alec from the hospital after his surgery?

Summary
“I think we’ve lost each other,” he says as he grazes against the Doctor’s stubbled jaw.
“Mm?” He straightens when the Master cups his chin, tilts his head backwards until he can see his own reflection in wide brown eyes.
“You’ve forgotten how to fight.”
how to lose control by enforcing it

Summary
From a Hobbitkink prompt:
The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.
The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.
(Follows the story of the War of the Ring).
(Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.
