Oh, I love this. I just rewatched the Library episodes and had a craving for River fic, and then found this and read it all at once. The way you write their relationships is just so great. I'm really excited for the next bit! :D

Thanks! I'm working on Chapter 7 now. :)

Another wonderful chapter. Quirky and fun but with an undertone of sadness as we, and the Doctor, already know River's fate.

Thanks! I think there's always going to be an undertone to the Doctor's and River's relationship - even River can sense it, although she doesn't quite know why. That is...she thinks it's for another reason entirely.

First, thanks for the awesome review. I'm glad you took the chance on both River and Alice - I know both can be hard to stomach (well, not so much Alice herself, but the idea of an original companion).

I wasn't sure how I felt about River to start - I didn't much care for her in the show either, but I had that first bit in mind, and it sort of grew from there. Alice - well, she wasn't meant to be much more than background, at first. And then, very Alice-like, she grabbed center stage and hasn't let go, and thank goodness everyone likes her, because I'd be screwed otherwise.

I'm still not sure how I feel about River Song, and I really don't know what their relationship will turn out to be - but I do sympathize with her. Writing about her has certainly been an experience
