the master getting teary eyed and scared when he realises the doctor is really considering to pull the trigger but still daring him to do it. He needs to know, he needs to see if the doctor is capable of it. is he? would he really? why is he still pointing the gun at him?
But he doesn’t want to die. you can hear it in his voice and see it in his face but he needs to know how far the doctor is willing to go. And besides he’s the master. He’s not gonna back down and plead. At least not in this regeneration. the subtle and terrorised headshake after works very well as there’s one part of the script missing in this scene
and the doctor won’t.

Wild to me when people only tag Bad Wolf Rose with Tenth Doctor Tags…
BAD WOLF EXISTS TO SAVE NINE.

Nine and Rose are so constantly holding each other's hands. I think there's only like one episode in that season where they don't have the chance to. Physical touch is a love language for them and I will NOT hear any arguments. My friend said "I think they'd live in each other's skin if given the chance" and ISTG that's such an accurate take
he's got that sadness about him you only see in catholic stained glass windows
everyone always acts so aghast about the whole “the doctor kidnapped his first companions!” thing which yeah obviously terrifying from ian and barbara’s pov but you really gotta look at it from the angle of “guy who just ran away from home comes across someone breaking into his car and in a panic locks the doors hits the gas and now they’re all very very lost” and then it becomes hysterical
For the @flashfictionfridayofficial prompt “stranger than fiction” - a bit of Classic Who fic.
When Ian Chesterton was younger, he loved science fiction. He devoured every magazine or novel he could get his hands on; relished the tales of impossible inventions, dystopian futures, bizarre aliens.
Eventually, his focus shifted from novels to textbooks, from magazines to research papers. Fiction had once fostered his own fascination with the workings of the world; through teaching, Ian strove to instill the same excitement in the students who shuffled reluctantly into his classroom each day.
He rarely has time anymore for science fiction, though it still holds a place in his heart and on his bookshelf. The teaching of real science is a full-time job.
But now…
Ian gazes at a sky of an unfamiliar color, above a planet some thousands of light-years and hundreds of time-years away from his own. He’s been to dystopian futures; befriended bizarre aliens. He travels in an impossible invention as a matter of course.
His life now is stranger than any of the stories he read when he was younger. Stranger than fiction, and infinitely so, for one simple reason: it’s real.
Ian smiles to himself. Maybe, when they finally get home, he’ll try his hand at some Sci-Fi of his own.
Two Time Lords match each other's freak half the planet destroyed 5000000 dead 10000000 injured
