Nice! Very poetic without trying too hard. I know I liked it!! Is there more like this?

Thank you very much! As for more, if you're interested...

I do have one other Ten/River fic, And Drive Another Night Away. You might also want to take a look at Now It's Come to Distances or Not a One, which I think are very similar in tone. And you might just want to try browsing my Tenth Doctor tag - I like to play with the Doctor's screwed up emotional issues. A lot. ^^

Very Ten - too much thinking going on his head, too much loneliness in his hearts. I hope he's happy with River.

God, I hope so too. Kind of disappointing that she's not likely to be in the remaining specials, but we can always make up for that with lots and lots of fic. ^^

I really like this. <3 It's very well done, evocative without beating the point to death, and very poetic.

Love it.

Thank you! When I was writing it, I felt like it might be a bit short, but there was really no way to go on without, as you said, beating the point to death. ^^ I'm really glad you liked it. ♥

I liked this quite a bit! It's just so very Ten.

But River murmurs in her sleep, and rolls over restlessly, and tucks her face into the space between his shoulder and his neck, and he can't even imagine moving from this spot just now.

Loved that bit right there. :)
