Alison has to leave the TARDIS

The Accidental Ambassador, my Scream of the Shalka fanfic, is FINALLY FINISHED over at AO3. In this excerpt, Alison and the Master discuss how she’s got to get gone:

 “It’s...It’s me that I’m afraid of. I’m afraid because I was never properly scared of you. I should have gone straight back home when I realized you were a mind-fucking robot, but I didn’t. I’m afraid because I stood up to you, told you exactly how to treat me, gave you a name, and expected you to live up to that name and to become someone you had never been before. I’m afraid because, when you do what I say, I feel strong and powerful and glad and right. I’m afraid because I      like    having a super-powered alien robot, whether you’re evil or good or something in between.

 “I’m afraid because I listen to you, respect you, feel sorry for you, and think of you as mine. I’m afraid because you gave me a name and said that you would teach me how to live up to it. I’m afraid because I want to be your good Domina and to make you smile proudly. I’m afraid because you’re the one I want to guard me when I feel unsafe and you’re the one I want to hold me tightly when I feel empty and unmoored. I’m afraid because, despite who you are and what you’ve done, I trust you and want you in my life because you make me happy. I’m just...afraid of who I am when I’m with you.”
