Ouch, but also, sigh. So lovely and sad and just a tiny, tiny bit happy. Beautiful. :)

One of these days I'll write something that's actually happy and only a tiny bit angsty. One of these days.

Oh my god, I love this. You did such a fantastic job. The tone of the piece. Their flirty-serious interaction. That buzz that is on screen when they are close. This was beautiful. And it helps mend my heart a bit. Thank you.

[ssw_loved]

Thank you, dear! I felt so bad for her in that episode, because it's one thing if it's a last kiss and she knows it's going to be one - but she had no clue! And it kind of broke my heart, so when I say this prompt at the ficathon, I had to fix it.

[cinderbella333]

I felt the exact same way. So it was so very nice to read this and feel a little bit better. Thank you

Ah, so bittersweet! Love this line River Song can read him like a book, the living version of her diary, the words she was never able to capture on the page and the casual mention of her breaking in a new guard. &hearts

<3 thank you! I have a feeling she has a lot of fun breaking in the new guards. Definite head canon that she times each one to see how long it takes them to quit.

[honeynoir]

Ooh, like that head canon! I bet she has charts and everything.

Lovely. I love the reassurance of the last line, the uncertainty of time, the sadness of revisiting the past. Nic work.

[ssw_loved]

Thank you! I definitely enjoyed writing this one. And I wasn't planning on writing it, either - the actual writing of this prompt just came out of the blue. At three A.M.
