Fics like yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives

They make a pact to visit every star that they can see in the night sky – together, of course, because why would they ever choose to part? The two of them are soulmates, after all, destinies twisted around each other, literally inseparable on a deep, innate (and rather poorly-understood) cosmic level. The Doctor (who still isn’t) picks a star at random and points up at it. “That one first,” he announces. The Master (who also isn’t) shakes his head and points to a different star on the other of the sky. “That one,” he counters. They glare at each other for a moment and then they begin to laugh (of course together, at exactly the same time). It doesn’t matter if they disagree on the details, because their names are sunk into each other’s skin, bold and unmistakable, and everyone knows what that means. (It doesn’t occur to either of them that every rule has an exception, even though both of them tend to thrive on that very fact.)
