Psh you are assuming that when people write fic they pay attention to things like "staying in character"! That is just crazy talk. Fic is all wish-fulfillment and if the author thinks her eyebrows deserve praise, by God, Ten is going to praise Rose's eyebrows. Seriously though, what? Half the reason I ship Ten/Rose is because they're so adorably romantically incompetent.
Omg DAMN YOU MEYER for making people think it's romantic. At least, I guess, Ten wouldn't be tanding there thinking OMG SHE SMELLS SO GOOD I JUST WANT TO SUCK THE LIFE OUT OF HER BODY. But it's still creepy. And he's way too ADD to stnad there watching someone do nothing for 8 hours, even if it is precious precious Rose. I can see him being enough of a creeper to maybe check up on her every once in a while -- maybe at the end of s2 at the height of the ~storm approaching~ angst that is so overblown in fandom (srsly, do giggly Army of Ghosts Ten and Rose look like they fear some oncoming storm? No, they are skipping) -- but just in like a, "oh look she's still alive" sort of way.
Yeah I know, with Ten2 I just kind of have to grudgingly take ti, even if inside I am like NO THIS IS CLEARLY WRONG OBVIOUSLY I AM RIGHT. But yes I'm sure I'll never stop thinking OH MY GOD HE'S TEN WHY DON'T YOU PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT D: Also, I don't get why people think being "human" (but really "part-human" which everyone seems to ignore) would suddenly give him all these human instincts/whatever. Donna even SAYS that the reason neither of them thought of spinning the Daleks arund (LIRL) is because they lack that bit of human gut-instinct that she has. Because they are not human. Either of them. Ahhh.
Sometimes I read badfic and one of the badfics I was reading was like some AU JE thing and suddenly the Master showed up and got freaky with Ten. It was bizarre. But yeah that's about the extent of slash I've read in this fandom. Jack/Ten hurts my soul a little because rofl, Ten has so little interest in Jack, I don't get how people don't see that. At least with the Master it's like, quasi-canon.
It was The Space Between Opposites (http://www.whofic.com/viewstory.php?sid=28746). I ADORE this fic. Part of that is probably because I'm a linguistics minor and I find the way fic writers deal with Gallifreyan to be really interesting, and I really really like the way they deal with it in here. That said, I'm not sure it counts explicitly as slash. It's about as slashy as the s3 finale, which is to say "kindasortavery".
HM maybe I will go check those out. I havent' read that much with the Master because he's always some comic book villain, and while that may be what he was like in the older series (I don't know, I haven't seen any of them) and WAS what he was like in the Eight movie (omg, lol (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDKuGBYpP3Y)) it's not exactly what Simm's Master was like. He was a lulzy bastard but not really the "LET'S TIE HER TO THE TRAINTRACKS" type. He is the type who would like, force the Joneses and the Doctor to do a Christmas pageant for him.
