Heh, agreed with almost all of this. (Re PWP, I am actually more likely to cut an author some slack for the sake of porn.) And agreed so hard with the Doctor not being a lovey-dovey domestic boyfriend--even when he's doing domestic in canon, he hems and haws and grumbles and makes sarcastic remarks about it to the point where you'd never believe he'd agree to it if he weren't physically there at the dinner table.

And yes, my major exception to "no Doctor/companion" is "unless it's deliberately written to be fucked-up OR the characters actually deal with all the issues involved."

My problem with finding Doctor/Master fic is that when the author doesn't make them incongruously fluffy bunnies (or poor widdle blameless angstbunnies who still call each other by their schoolboy nicknames and weep over their lost idylls in the red grass...?!), there's still a lot of fic that boils down to "evil wins because good is dumb, and the Master spends the next 60,000 words torturing the Doctor in increasingly depraved ways." I'm not averse to seeing the Doctor lose a few rounds for once, but we're talking the difference between losing a boxing match after putting up a fair fight vs. getting held down and repeatedly punched by half a dozen goons with brass knuckles. It's just numbing after a while, not to mention flatly OOC for the Doctor to lie there and take it and not be plotting a way out.

That definitely sounds aggravating. But are there any good Doctor/Master fics you'd reccomend?

Uh. Not sure what you'd have read already, and am running short on time so I'll just give names and archives instead of links, but--Eclipsing Binary (astrogirl2). Chasing the Paradox (nemaline). New Dawn Fades (AO3). Need (by Lamiel on Teaspoon). dwseason4, dwseason5, The Naming of Things (all by aria). I'm probably forgetting a lot of fics, but those are the ones that spring immediately to mind. (Oh, and paradoxically, all the fic that came out of the Sick-a-thon aka The Kink That Must Not Be Named is amazing.)

Edit: Oh also everything by x_los (on... I think pretty much all the archives?) A lot of it falls under "crack!fluff," but really, the only way you can pull off a Doctor/Master "running a tea shop" AU is if both of them are 100% recognizably themselves, so.
