This is really intense and lovely - you've got the balance between the Doctor and River just right. *shivers* so sad.

It doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt, but she understands. They had their reasons, the both of them. Bringing her to that beach had hurt her now but helped her in her past, touching the suit that had held her captive had helped him understand and work out their futures. They’re always hurting, always fumbling and trying to find their way in the dark but those moments, when they find them, are better than anything she ever could have asked for.

YES. THIS.

And also, this:

When he presses his mouth against hers, it tastes like the stars, and of time. There is no flailing of his arms and protesting, no confusion - he presses himself against her and knots his fingers in her hair, and it is as good as very not first and not last time they have ever had.

*sigh* Lovely.

Aww, sweet. Time kisses are lovely. A good way to deal with River's two childhoods and point out the similarities to Amy.

Ohhh, so beautiful honey - do love that he can be so tricksy, but...

At least she has this last time with him.

*HUGS*

Aww such ♥ I do figure they'd cheat quite a bit so long as they're not crossing any personal timelines.
