War Games!

[x_losfic]

Have just watched War Games. Am SOLD on War Chief as a pre-Delgado Master regeneration, which is funny b/c I didn't think I would be. Is there /seriously/ no War Chief slash? Did no one else /watch/ that love fest?

HALP and tell me if you've heard of any!

EDIT: Know who needs to have seen this/tell me what they think?! prettyarbitrary and deborah_judge, b/c you're like, my fellow "TL;DR? What TL;DR?!" Meta Warriors and I want to know what y'all think about this! Am I on the mad finge of theory here, or is this mainstream trufax?

WAR CHIEF!MASTER! I *just* watched the War Games earlier this week, and was seriously flailing around over the War Chief. The bit where he's all "let's take over the universe together and rule benevolently, side by side"? He *IS* the Master.

There *NEEDS* to be War Chief slash. NEEDS TO BE.

[x-losfic.livejournal.com]

He *IS* the Master.


HOT THINGS ABOUT WAR CHIEF TWO THAT PROVE HE IS SO FULLY THE MASTER:

1) omg the hilarity of that mutual recognition scene

2) the way war chief keeps. curling. his. hand. around Two's shoulder.

3) the way he saves Two's ass right after security chief's like btw I'm killing your boyfriend right. now. and then just smirks about it, like "Oh pumpkin, did the widdle humans almost

4) their mutual concern for each other over calling in the other Time Lords ("well YOU can still leave")

5) CLASSIC Delgado!Master marriage proposal in the form of a Dominate Life deal

6) almost suspecting that it was going to be the Doctor when someone mentioned Time Travelers

7) obsessive concern with how the Doctor perceives him (I'm not all bad)

8) use of hypnosis ALL OVER that project

9) not even bothering to buy a new jacket before heading over to snark!sex three

COMPLAINTS:

Wtf was with that bling, baby!Master?! Take off that necklace, sweetie, it looks like something you bought at Hollister. I know Two has no taste, but I expect you to set a higher standard, not fall to his level.

er, typo

3) the way he saves Two's ass right after security chief's like btw I'm killing your boyfriend right. now. and then just smirks about it, like "Oh pumpkin, did the widdle humans almost force a regen? There there, it's okay, I'll comfort sex you in like an hour when we can properly do it on our new galactic thrones."

A big freaking YES to your entire list there. (Plus, there's the proto facial-hair-of-evil look he's got going on.) His entire MO is, like, ripped out of the Master's playbook: Pretend to give technical assistance to another race while secretly using them to take over the Earth/galaxy/universe for you.

I am convinced. I may also be batshit, but I am still convinced.

OH GOD his EVOL goatee! And it would be terribly awkward if there were (even if you don't read it as sexual) two TL's he knew of old with whom he had basically /exactly/ the same relationship, from what we see on screen?

You know, I can't justify making War Chief!Master a FULL challenge on b_e for a lot of reasons (not a hugely broad interest, accessibility, our possibly being batshit, etc.) but I am so, so prepped to write a big post laying the theory down and call for a gathering of ficlets on this over like, a month period or something. Seriously, NO fic?! Nature/Das Intarwebz abhors a vacuum!

[marah-sarie.livejournal.com]

Oh god, can you imagine? When you realize that your ex is dating someone *exactly* like you? (If they are not the same person, how must Koschei and young!War Chief got along back at the Academy, I wonder.)

DOOOO EEEET! During the next Discussion Tiem, I was so planning on bringing up War Chief!Master, but a separate post and call for fic is much a better idea. (NEED FIC. NEED IT.) Probably not everyone has seen that serial, I'm guessing, and I really love it (even if it is, like, five hours long) so encouraging more people to watch it is also definitely a good thing.

Oh god, can you imagine? When you realize that your ex is dating someone *exactly* like you? (If they are not the same person, how must Koschei and young!War Chief got along back at the Academy, I wonder.)

See, this is a GENIUS fic right there! Theta breaks up with Koschei, who obvs is all "oh he'll be crawling back by tomorrow!" Only to find out he's already dating War Chief, who swooped in /immediately/. Koschei's horror grows when he realizes, no joke, this is basically /him./ Tries to explain to Theta, who just will not hear it, and if like 'nope, sorry, you hurt my feelings, time to go sleep with my new bf. We're moving awful fast, I think he wants to room together next year...' Koschei kills /everything./ Theta is like 'I think he's taking it well! I hope we can still be best friends!' Cue The Headdesk of the Rani.

OH MAN. I WILL!

[marah-sarie.livejournal.com]

You MUST write this fic. You must write this fic, like, RIGHT NOW. I will only accept War Chief as not being the Master for the purposes of this fic. Or potential hot Theta/Koschei/War Chief threesome porn.

[prettyarbitrary.livejournal.com]

In my little world, THIS HAPPENED.

Or it would have if the War Chief were not in fact the Master.

[x-losfic.livejournal.com]

Then the hilarious 'No, seriously, the boy is, in fact, mine' standoff between Koschei and Baby!War Chief where in the end Koschei is just vicious enough to seduce the living crap out of poor Theta, who then has to break up with baby!War Chief with big eyes and tears because he's so, so sorry, but Koschei just cornered him in a classroom and was /really/ insistent and he was wearing That Shirt I Bought Him That Does Good Things For His Eyes and he did that thing with his tongue...anyway Theta's SO SORRY!

Cue eternal enmity between Koschei and baby!War Chief, where when Master mentions offing other enemies in Axos? That's totally who he meant. He heard War Chief had been propositioning again and swanned in to shoot through the remainder of his regenerations and popped back to earth to ensure that there had been absolutely NO flirting back--they're on a /break,/ dammit, not /broken up!/

...but this is moot b/c War Chief is in face baby!Master. You can tell from his jaunty hip poses. His hips don't lie.

...tragically Simm!Master /so/ enjoys Shakira enough to justify that joke.

[prettyarbitrary.livejournal.com]

I have seen the jaunty hip poses! And I'm sure he does like Shakira. If he weren't such a good dancer, that appreciation would classify as a Class 1 intergalactic war crime under the Shadow Proclamation (which the Doctor is completely responsible for).

[x-losfic.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, the crack fic for the Doctor exercising that responsibility and punishing him for Perjuring Hips writes. it. self.

And wtf 'Shadow Proclamation' used as a group noun in Partners in Crime? They're a body of some form now?

[prettyarbitrary.livejournal.com]

I'm sure the Doctor would take on that duty with solemn gravity.

I spotted that with the nouns too. I can only assume that it is both the document, and the collective of races/individuals/WTFs that signed on and enforce it. Kind of like NATO. I'm guessing. Fairly randomly.
