I always have trouble with sex scenes, especially with this pair. The Doctor may be bottom, but in my head there's a really weird sense of equality in their sex scenes. It's difficult to explain.
The Master could have done anything to the Doctor on board the Valiant, but the fact is that he didn't. There was no torture, no rape (I won't even contemplate the idea, it would take the Master beyond sympathy), and while he might have lashed out occasionally, there were reasons for this (insanity being one of them). I honestly don't think that the Master is capable of that kind of personal violation (his really dark side is all about spectacle). I'm hoping after the next interlude, the power balance between the two will begin to make more sense.
Clothes. Clothes are a pain. Trying to get them off in a realistic way is a chore, especially when neither the Doctor or the Master are in any fit state to deal with undressing. Hopefully I handled it fairly well.
Another point that gave me trouble was... ah... preparation. Like I said - both of them are pretty much frenzied in this scene. The only thing I could think of was the Master using his own... uh yeah.
I do research my sex scenes - the technical side of it, anyway. I have it on excellent authority that... that word (I hate it) is a very good lubricant. One thing about the Master - he may be a human-hating mentally unstable egomaniac, but for many many reasons - he doesn't want to cause the Doctor that kind of pain; not in those moments, and not in that way. (Again, the Doctor will be explaining a bit very shortly).
I omitted the word because I hate it. Seriously, if there is a word that is sure to detract from a sex scene, it's that. Precum. Oh... ugh. Why isn't there a nicer way to say it?
I honestly cannot think of anything else to say about this - the actions should speak for themselves just this once.
As an aside, this is the song I was listening to while writing this scene. Normally their sex scenes need something a little more calm, but this is sex on the Master's terms, in the Master's psychologically twisted world. I needed something a bit dubsteppy. (The words have nothing to do with what's going on in the scene, by the way. I intend to post a full playlist here at the end of the story.)
Anyway, thanks for looking, and hopefully we'll be coming to the final chapter of this set of memories some time today or tomorrow.
