empress (of the lost)
who: river and doctor
what: forgiveness?
when: aug. 8
where: Bluebird
rating: G?
status: incomplete
In the grand scheme, River is afraid of everything and nothing. She fears crowded spaces and embraces the emptiness of space. She fears solid earth because she knows gravity won't ground her and adores the freedom of spaceships because of their isolation.
But above all else, she fears isolation. And therin lay the irony.
The journey to the TARDIS felt longer this time, and River felt less in control of herself. There were things now, in her memory, she hadn't seen before. Remember too much - and some of it isn't mine... Bodies, sleeping in decay. Old men with blood on their hands. A woman's name that didn't belong to a woman but River couldn't quite catch it on her tongue.
She looked exhausted. She felt like she was crawling out of her skin and any moment expected to turn and see it on the ground behind her, a pile of flesh and blue skirts.
"Doctor.." Her hands finally came in contact with Bluebird and her pale fingers curled around the inside of the open door.
