This is jaw-droppingly gorgeous. Every single line is perfect, you captured River and all the wonder and anxiety that comes with having her relationship with The Doctor unfold out of order beautifully. This line: She can’t afford to give anything away (he’s taught her well-told her so much), but she wonders if he’s ever had to be this strong, ever had a person that defines every single moment of your life bounce in and out of it, like a leaf floating on a breeze. She doesn’t think so. is everything I love about this ship. There's this enormity to them and River has to carry so much of it by herself.

And the ending! GUH. Thank you so, so much for this wonderful present! I love it to pieces.

I'm so, so glad you liked this! I think this request made me a little nervous because I've never written River before. I really had fun doing it though, especially for someone that's always been so generous about writing for others. :)
