And, yet, somehow I can imagine the River of the future smacking him very loudly if he comes back. Oh, Eleven. That's so ... Ten of you.

If the River who had met him even knew he considered erasing their story together, she absolutely would. :D

I think it's pretty much a general Doctor-y trait, actually, re-writing someone's life. Certainly it's not alien to Eleven. See: Kazran, A Christmas Carol.

I think I may have actually made a little strangled sound in the back of my throat at the end of this. Ooooooo, that hurts (in a good way), and seems far too plausible. Who needs straightforward?

So sad, but I can see the Doctor sacrificing his happiness for the one he loves. Well done.

This had some very shining lines of epic in it. The thought of River marrying anyone else, pulls all the heart strings.

Painful but cool.
