One of my favourites is dhawan!master reveal because with the other two (Gomez and Jacobi) the narrative already sets them up as something weird and that we SHOULD be wary of them as an audience but not dhawan master and thats what makes it SO SHOCKING.

Main cast for my au story! yay. I'm so excited you have no idea. People from my head have faces now.

explanation under the cut:

this exchange between the Tenth Doctor and the War Master makes me lose my mind. the Doctor unwilling to face the loss of the Master again, and the Master putting into words what he is to the Doctor, which reminds me of the Doctor's line in 'The End of Time': “I wonder what I'd be without you.”

[transcript]

DOCTOR: Do you really believe I have an inexhaustible supply of hope for you to squander?

MASTER: Ah, but that's the irritating thing about hope, isn't it, Doctor? And that's why I need you with me out there in the court. We've always been two sides of the same coin. And can you really imagine a universe without me? Could you live with yourself?

DOCTOR: (falters)

MASTER: Interesting.

DOCTOR: What is?

MASTER: I seem to have touched a nerve. A fresh one, too. What happens to me in our future that makes you so afraid of losing me now?

DOCTOR: Don't. Just— Don't.

MASTER: Why? Because it might violate the laws of causality?

DOCTOR: Because there are some things I cannot face. And I won't. Again. I will do my best to save you, Master. I promise.

MASTER: No. No, you won't.

DOCTOR: What?

MASTER: I'm no fool, Doctor. It's not your undying hope for good that drives you to save me; you're afraid of losing balance. Without the other side of the coin, what would you become? You're only saving me to save yourself.
