Gems of Memory

So to celebrate a very kind rec on Calufrax, I decided to re-post my drabble challenge where I can find it again. 

Death
By: Memory Dragon
Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who, nor do I make any claim to.
Characters: Theta, Koschei, Fifth Doctor, Ainley Master
Warnings: Fairly angsty with mentions of death.  Some references for Planet of Fire, but I'm pretty sure you can miss it if you're unfamiliar with the serial, so I wouldn't worry too much about spoilers.  Also, it is very unbetaed.
Rating: (I always forget this)  Um... PG-13 for tones of death?  No wonder I always forget these.  Maybe I should just stick with my warnings, since they're generally more descriptive...
Notes: Written for the best_enemies 100 drabble challenge.  It is a very worthy quest and I may be writing another one if I've got time on Friday, but have my rehash of a deleted paragraph from Alone in the Dark in the mean time. 

( The Doctor almost couldn't remember a time when the Master wasn't afraid of death. )
