I think I figured out why most Doctor Who Human AU doesn’t work for me because the writers sometimes make the Doctor (any Doctor) too nice, when honestly, from the show, Ten as John Smith was a bit of an elitist ass, who didn’t even blink when the bullies asked if they could beat up Tim.

Meanwhile, in two separate media, when the Master either had amnesia or turned Human, they were kind. And yet, despite that it didn’t feel OOC, it’s like this amnesia or Humanification just turned something that was just there and surfaced it.

I mean, One was a dick. It took Barbara and Ian to sort him out and become the Doctor we all know.

The Master being friendly at people they will end up killing has to be genuine at some point. I mean, the Master’s friendly with the Doctor -- the difference is, the Doctor can survive all the things the Master can throw at them.

Don’t know where I’m going with this, except that, er, if Human!Doctor is too nice, I find that I’m thrown out of the story.
