When they met, she was still broken, unable to see past her pain and her emptiness. He was handsome and powerful, but it didn't take long for her to realize he was just as broken.

They fell quickly, lips meeting and hands moving as two bodies clung to each other, trying to fight off the sensation of drowning that still pounded through their hearts and minds, a scar he had left on them. It didn't start as love- it was coping, simple as that. Trying to survive with the one other person who felt the pain they did.

Soon, her pain turned to fury as she realized the other mark he had left on her- she could not die. He slowly helped to nurse this fury, and it took no time for hers to rival his own. He told her the truth sometime later, of his race and what he had done, and what he planned to do if she would help him.

The light of madness burned in her eyes as she agreed, and he kissed her, the energy between them like lightning, and as they lay together that night he realized they were now equals, their own love nearly rivaling their hate for him. Soon, their plans came to fruition, and she played the part perfectly, the perfect politician's wife, but he knew better than to think she was like the last woman.

Finally, as the world burnt before them, the Master and Rose danced a slow waltz, watching the destruction with pure delight.

A/N: I would like to apologize for not using their names until the last lines. It makes stuff kind of awkward but I really like it for some reason. Also, if enough people are interested, I might try and continue the story, so let me know, okay? And yes, you can con crit all you like.
