Lovely! I especially like the touches of gray! *squee*

It's taken me a bit to warm up to River...I hope we get the chance to see them together for a long time to come!

Thank you! I'm glad you liked that. :) I thought the differences in his appearance had to be pretty subtle--it takes her a little bit to pick up on just how young he is in canon--and that seemed right. Just the tiniest bit of gray, though. ;)

I feel similarly about River--I didn't love her in SitL but by the end of FotD I really liked her.

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. :)
