love like fire goes out

by RegalPotato

The closer she gets, the more they stand out against the backdrop of violence. The boy - because neither of them can be older than twenty - is curled around the girl protectively, their clothing a perfect match for the fashion of the early 21st century. The girl lifts her head - flinching into the boy’s arms as an explosion ricochets off a nearby wall - and River instantly knows that these aren’t just any humans out of place on an alien planet. The girl is far too young and pretty - her husband’s usual type - and she finds herself relieved that she decided to help them after all, even despite the pang of nerves that accompanies the thought of seeing her husband again after everything that’s happened.

make it simple

by orphan_account

When River Song had woken up that morning, she hadn't anticipated anything more exciting happening than the delivery of a new book on gravedigging. So, when she took her usual route home, coat pulled tight around her against the cool of the evening, and spotted a gloriously familiar blue box, she was really quite surprised.

Just That Simple

by songofdefiance

Her mind is lazily searching through the events of this past Christmas, wondering once again how she hadn’t realized that the man next to her is the Doctor. And if he hadn’t been... well. River’s fallen in love with someone other than the Doctor only once before, and she’s never seen her again. Her head bolts upright from the Doctor, and she stares at the bookcase across from them, the thought hitting her like a freight train. It can’t be that simple, can it?

oh, there's a river that winds on forever (i'm gonna see where it leads)

by timelxrd

Her eyes squeeze closed and, losing faith, River braces herself for a tragically un-epic death. Of all the ways to go, she’d hoped for something more exciting, more attention-seeking, more her. “Excuse me?” an unmistakenly feminine and abruptly Northern voice halts the sword in its path, garnering the surrounding guards’ attention despite the adrenaline pulsing through their veins.
