Master Works

What do you do when you get a glimpse of your current antagonist, but in the future? Master Works explores this conundrum for Jo…

Story: “For the Good Old Days”

Author: Madam Violet

Master: Missy

Companion[s]: Jo

Plot: Using to a Master who loves/hates the Third Doctor, Jo is fascinated by Missy, who apparently loves the Twelfth. Has she really changed, though? Will a trinket that Jo retrieves for Missy reveal the truth?

Why you should read it: At first you think it’s just sweet Twelve/Missy fluff, but the revelation of what Jo retrieves for Missy really makes it more touching.

Part that I love: Missy rewards Jo’s successful mission with a spoon.
