Second in the Silentium series. The Master has begun to bury his hatred away, having decided to travel with the man who he had been at war with for centuries now. Yet, the drums wont let him rest. He is trying to be Koschei once again. In honor of her memory. But one night, in the back streets of Cambridge, he hears silence and it kills him inside. Master/OC. Read Silentium first!

It was only natural that he craved Keara as he did. He'd lived with the pain of the drums for so long that he needed to hear the silence she brought. He had been so angry and insane for so long. The Quis brought him peace that he had never thought himself deserving of. It made each day a little more bearable. That was all it was. Master/OC

Pre-Silentium universe - The Doctor is traveling with a "stolen" companion. A woman he rescued from a fate worse then death, but when her planet is threatened, he has a choice to make. Her or Silistra. Doctor/OC. Rated M for mild language but strong sexual content. Some smut, mostly fluff. Can be read seperate from Silentium.
