The midnight bell have tolled in Sweden, so I post this from April 2.

Author: scripsi
Title: For Now Left and Forlorn
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1459
Prompt/Chosen character: Chin Lee’s reaction to Harold Saxon.
Notes/Warnings: Warning for character death. It's not a happy story, I'm afraid. I re-watched The Mind of Evil recently and Chin Lee caught my imagination. She is rather unique among the Master’s minions, more like a companion than any other, at least until Lucy Saxon. It is clear that being a companion to the Doctor changes the companion’s lives, usually for the better. It seemed to me that those who survive serving the Master must be affected by their experience as well, though not in a positive way. Chin Lees disappears halfway through The Mind of Evil after she has been found out and I doubt that the Master ever thought about her again. But I doubt she got away unscathed. The title and the quote at the end is from the anonymous lyrics to John Downland’s song Come Again.
Summary Forty years are not enough time to get away from the Master’s influence.

Oh no. Poor Chin Lee. I wish she could have stayed alive and. . . helped somehow, but you did a good job of showing the reasons why she didn't. Some people are casualties. I haven't seen The Mind of Evil yet, so I haven't met this character except through you, but I'm glad you told a story about her, even though it was a sad one.

I'm glad you liked it, even if it wasn't a happy story. I hadn't planned to make it so bleak, but that was the way it wanted to be written. :)

Fascinating. I haven't seen this one yet, myself. It figures, though, that he'd be able to hold someone's fascination for that long, to still have so powerful a pull after so many years.

Thank you! No, I think you just don't get away.

And I do think you would enjoy The Mind of Evil, the Doctor and the Master have some really great scenes together. :)

Ooh, creepy icon! :D

Well, I'll make it my next watch, then! :) Gotta see somebody aside from Ainley sometime, lol. (Although he's so addictive that it'll be hard to do.)

Hmm, yes, it is a bit creepy... :)

I can understand that. :D
