Title: Sound of Drums

Pairings: Master (Saxon)/10th Doctor

Spoilers: For sound of Drums which I shamelessly nicked the title from ^_^ and Planet of the dead!!! If not seen please be careful this could ruin it and do not read further!

WARNINGS: Implied Non-con

Disclaimer: DW not mine but David Tennant is… really ^_^

Summary: The Doctor finally understands.

Notes: Ok after the Easter episode of Doctor Who Planet of the Dead we were left with HUGE clue which me and my friend Ddraigcoch are hoping signifies the return of the Master! *crosses fingers* So of course, it's not left me alone so this happens! Seriously, even my drabbles are getting dark!? So this is for DDC as I know she loves this pairing! See what you've done to me!

When the Doctor had been shown the Untempered Schism, the vortex of space and time, as a child, he had run screaming from it and never looked back.

The Master had looked into it also.

It had broken him too, but in a different way.

Constantly he could hear it. Over and over. The beat. It had driven him mad.

It was only as the Master took him, rough and brutal, the Doctor biting his lip to not give the Master the pleasure of his screams, did he truly understand.

That he could hear it too.

The sound of drums.
