“There’s a beast in the man, a creature who is ruthless and raw power, an intelligence that is wielded without wisdom. There is nothing more dangerous than this, except for the woman who holds the leash.”

Inspired by capalxii’s absolutely excellent dark!Clara fic There Is a Beast, the quote above has been haunting me, which led to this.

Warnings for: abuse by someone in a caretaker/mentor position, brainwashing/mind control/memory manipulation & erasing, implied killing, memory loss, ignored personal physical boundaries, Stockholm syndrome.

this is amazing and astounding and wow. wow. thank you for creating this. (eta: just an fyi/clarification, the fic would not be categorized as whouffaldi—it’s just not in that place, i think)
