Disclaimer: Characters and setting do not belong to me.
Warnings: None of the standard warnings apply, as far as I can tell, though there is a certain amount of intense loss implied, albeit fairly briefly.
Summary: River Song is the most dangerous criminal in this universe, the next, and several other nearby ones besides.
Notes: Profuse thanks go to
oxoniensis and
laura47 for their wonderfully helpful and quick beta work, and I am also very grateful to
oxoniensis for the Britpick. The (somewhat ironic) title is from "The Little Old Lady in Lavender Silk," by Dorothy Parker. Feedback and constructive criticism is, as always, welcomed and cherished. (Also on AO3
here, please feel free to comment in either location.)
