A story with the Doctor, the Master, Jack, Martha, and a sociopathic agent - how can you do any better than that ! :)

U R AMAZINGGGGGGGG
chapter! loved to see more of the master

Great story! I loved it!

Wow, this is so dark, yet beautiful, I was fevering with the doctor and despairing with him. Well done!

A truly brilliant piece !

Very good, well done. A couple of things... 1. Jack still needs to become immortal... 2. Nope don't have a two. I really liked this story. Thank you for writing it!

This is just beauutifully written. Great original plot, solid character development, perfect pace. Loved it!

Sooo, he saves the Master so the Master can go back and save him? Then what? Who gets the TARDIS? This story is marked as complete, but it feels a little unfinished, except for implications. It was a rather lovely ride, however, so I'll be watching out for more. :)

Wonderful! Beautifully written! It's 3:38 in the morning where I am and I just had to finish it all! So worth skipping sleep!

Gotta love the end of the universe

This was the best Doctor Who story I ever read. Is there a sequel who deals with the aftermath of the Doctors imprisonment, torture and sexual abuse? I would love to read that. Ohh the poor frail doctor. He had to endure so much :-(

there are no words who can describe how much I adore and love this story. Incredible.

This chapter was absolutly perfect and incredibly sad. I love the plot - the whole Doctor captured thing and adore your portrayal of the Doctor and Jack. I am so sorry for the Doctor, being captured, sexually abused and hurt for such a long time. This frail, bony Time Lord, who always wanted to protect the earth and do nothing to harm people. I hope Jack will rescue him. :-)

not sure how the Master would've gotten to earth without Jack, the Doctor, and Martha having gone to the end of time and the Master taking the Doctors Tardis. But oh well, as least he's here to make things interesting and hopefully help Jack help the Doctor.

Oh! That was incredibly nice! Nice, but sad (

But then I'm confused, if the Master gave the Doctor back the TARDIS with the locked coordinates that only allow for travel between the end of the universe and the 21st century so that he can go and turn the Master back into a Time Lord, how do the coordinates end up locked? It makes a paradox doesn't it? In canon the Doctor did it, but in this AU it's been done, so he'll never do it, so how does it happen? For that matter, because the Master gave the doctor back the TARDIS the Year That Never Was can't happen because the TARDIS as modified by the Master is key to the Year's whole existence. I appreciate the fact that you tried to get the reader back to where the season 'should' have gone, but yea.

Okay, to continue to enjoy this story to the best of my abilities, I'm going to persuade myself that:

A) The Doctor found five minutes during "Utopia" to 'fix' the navigation problem only to break it again upon the Master's impending escape.

B) The Master, upon finding the Doctor and recognizing Martha realizes that what has already happened for him hasn't happened for them yet and so without his relinquishing the TARDIS he'll never be restored to his Time Lord self.

C) Upon realizing B the Master then comes up with another dastardly plan (perhaps another one he'd been toying with the whole time), because hell, you know he didn't just free the Doctor for altruistic reasons. The thwarting of which still results in Martha realizing she doesn't want to travel again and (I suppose, though I rather like him) the death of the Master.

There, I've rationalized this all to myself, lol.
