He is in control
Keeps on saying you haven't got a chance
You don't want to believe him
Humans always survive

Keeps on saying you haven't got a chance
Same old Master, same old score
Humans always survive
This time he's planning on breaking that rule

Same old Master, same old score
You've always been the best of enemies
This time he's planning on breaking that rule
And he's finally destroying you completely

You've always been the best of enemies
Now you're his dog, his toy
And he's finally destroying you completely
First he has to play with his victims

Now you're his dog, his toy
You watch as he slaughters those you care for
First he has to play with his victims
Ripping memories from their minds before they die

You watch as he slaughters those you care for
Sarah Jane, Donna, Martha's family
Ripping memories from their minds before they die
He fills in the blanks with what he pulls from you

Sarah Jane, Donna, Martha's family
They scream, they howl, and you're forced to watch
He fills in the blanks with what he pulls from you
Memories of companions, of the TARDIS, of Rose

They scream, they howl, and you're forced to watch
Your memories replay again and again for his amusement
Memories of companions, of the TARDIS, of Rose
His commentary on each is cruel and twisted

Your memories replay again and again for his amusement
Every day of this year is longer than the last
His commentary on each is cruel and twisted
Keeping Martha's quest a secret is your only priority now

Every day of this year is longer than the last
You watch your beloved race dissolved into nothing
Keeping Martha's quest a secret is your only priority now
He would only laugh at your insignificant "hope"

You watch your beloved race dissolved into nothing
You don't want to believe him
He would only laugh at your insignificant "hope"
He is in control

for realmofthemuse: 1.85.2: Future Interaction

Write a prompt fic of your muse interacting with another muse in their life, years from now, where your muse is telling someone something that they don’t want to hear.

She's been waiting for hours. He knows this. Her legs are probably cramped beyond belief, and he doesn't imagine crouching as she has been is doing good things to her insides, considering the corset.

She's not a woman to wait. He knows this. Even if he'd never met the woman before, he's read history books about her. He knows how stubborn she is. He knows how she made a King wait for her. She ruled a country behind the scenes, eliminated her competition with the precision of a Mambese NanoShooter, and never, ever showed weakness. And waiting is a weakness.

Still, she waits. Her eyes are glazed over, but she's not going to cry. This is never written about in the history books, but he knows her. He knows she doesn't cry. She'll wait for the man she loves, but she won't cry for him.

(  He wonders if she would wait forever for her love. The thought breaks his hearts. They always promise him forever. He wishes it could be forever. )
