I conceive of Gallifreyan music as being the most baroque thing ever, so there’s a lot of organs and stuff. Since organs have so many keyboards, they generally two or more people to play them, and in the tradition of weddings, the four hands required to play are supposed to symbolise the four hearts of the two people being married. The two people playing are also supposed to be one from each of the couple’s houses, to really symbolise the two houses being joined together. (Missy condensing the song down so only two hands are needed is very much a ‘fuck you’ to that concept.)

When this floated across my twitter stream I wanted to use it for the fic, but it is very hard to describe music when you aren’t a musician without directly mentioning what it is. But it is fun to imagine something that’s perhaps a bit more march-y and less dramatic being what Missy plays.

Speaking of Missy playing, want some visuals of the last bit with Thirteen? Found it a little late to be directly credited for that scene, but a delightful coincidence that made me squee.

This scene from Demons of the Punjab wasn’t directly inspirational, but it did give me a lot of feelings when I realised that it makes the vows the Doctor and Missy exchange as being about love.

I spent far too long trying very hard to decipher what exactly the marriage ceremony in this was and why Eleven did it.
