Snowflake Challenge #6
I'm behind, I know. Challenge #6 is to rec 3+ works by other people. So here are some things I've read recently that I have not yet extolled to the ends of the universe :)

In some timelines, Captain Jark Harkness rescues her from prison. In others, she escapes on her own. In many of them, she makes it back to New Year's Day in Sheffield, 2021.
This is not one of those timelines.
Thirteen onscreen has not been all that appealing to me, but luckily there are some fic authors out there who are doing her justice. This story is everything I wanted from the setup at the end of the last series--it makes the Doctor's incarceration mean something, it is a mindbending twisting tale where the lines of what is real and what is a dream are blurred, it is a sometimes brutal but ultimately redeeming fairy tale. With countable infinities.
She knows she left people behind. People she needs to get back to. A family. But time is stretched thin, distorted, the seconds and minutes and hours and days and months and years blurring into one. Past and future have traded places - what has come before is cast into uncertainty and what will come the only thing she knows for sure. Without a doubt, she will be here.

River spends years in Stormcage. Her only visitor is the Doctor. Him, and a blonde stranger, a fellow inmate, who keeps appearing in the corner of her cell.
oooh, another Thirteen in Prison fic, but this one has River Song in it. It's timey wimey, with despair and hope, and of course, a love story.

Nothing is in sequence.
Some things just Are.
A beautiful TARDIS POV ficlet. I have a soft spot for the Old Girl and her perspective. This is a short journey through her life, non-linearly.

River drops in during the Doctor’s year with the Ponds in “The Power of Three.
Is this me recc-ing fluff? OMG it is. Because it's fun fluff that is so true to the characters, with laugh-out-loud dialogue and at the same time it has that bittersweet tinge because we know how things turn out.
"Hello, hello; gorgeous to see you, slightly slime-covered bride of mine," he says, pulling her dramatically back up into his arms. When they’re cheek to cheek, he whispers in her ear, "Please do explode something. I’m so bored, I’m- and this is in no way an exaggeration-going to die of it in five seconds, and you’re far too foxy to be a widow."
River kisses his earlobe. "Everybody feels that way about visiting the in-laws," she whispers back. "Suffer."
