Story: Fallen (or How Charlotte Pollard Very Nearly Reformed The Master)
Author: vvj5
Rating: All Ages
Word Count: 3579
Author's summary: Charley’s waiting for the Doctor to return, but it isn’t the wrong Doctor she gets, it’s the wrong Time Lord altogether. This can’t end well.
Characters: Charley Pollard, The Master (Delgado)
Warnings: none

Recced because: Only a randomiser would have chosen to cast Charley Pollard as traveling with The Master -- but this quirky concept works brilliantly. Worth a read purely for the banter between these two, such as:

"I don’t know how it is, Miss Pollard, but whenever I turn around, you’re always in some sort of danger.”

She wrinkled her nose. “Oh, I say, that’s unfair, when you know I was the one who had to rescue you from that scaly thing the other day.”

“You are very resourceful,” he agreed. “It was most instructive.” Yes, he must not make the mistake of underestimating her…

Isn't this fic awesome? *grins*

Oh man, when you told me you were going to rec one with Charley and the Master, I knew it had to be this one <3 <3 <3

A+!

ARE there other fics with Charley and the Master? If so, I MUST FIND THEM!

[alycorn.livejournal.com]

It probably doesn't occur to many people to WRITE fics like that, so it's very possible that this is the only one.

(YOU should write one :D)

Mine would be frightful and creepy instead of oddly adorable, though. I don't think anyone wants that.

[alycorn.livejournal.com]

...I would.

This sounds fascinating! I love Charlie. One issue: I haven't listened to all (or even most) of Charlie's Big Finish stories. Going more or less in order, I'm up to Embrace the Darkness. Will reading this fic give me huge spoilers or big confusion? Minor spoilers and confusion I can handle.

I don't think it's confusing, but it does pick up after Girl Who Never Was (her last story with Eight), so if you wish to remain completely unspoiled for how that story turns out you might bookmark for later reading.

Aw, thanks so much for the rec! (I am vvj5 in disguise, here on LJ).

I'm blushing both at this and the compliments in the comments - and the probably true fact that I may be the only one strange enough to combine these two... :-D

Strange is good, though. It's an amazing story!
