Sharing a little teaser from the Twelfth Doctor/Missy fic that I've been working on, because I am rather proud of it and it doesn't give anything away.

"How long have we played out this dance? Obeying whatever law of gravity it is that governs us, never daring to get too close lest the pull gets too strong because we know that the only thing that can happen is that we'll crash and burn. And yet never quite able to get away. In constant orbit around one another, teetering on the edge of disaster. So why should you help me? You shouldn't. But you will. Because it's what you do. You're a sentimental old idiot."
