What a wonderful piece. I don't know if this is entirely what you were going for, but the imagery of River taking the Doctor's place in reaction to his death is a really fascinating, thought-provoking one. You have a lovely writing style, so thanks so much for this great fic!

[hihoplastic]

That's exactly what I was going for - I'm so glad that came through. :) It's my personal head canon that if anything ver happened to the Doctor - wibbly wobbly time aside - she'd carry on his work. I'm so so glad you enjoyed this piece - thank you so much for reading and commenting!

I have loved this whole story, every part of it, it is one of the best AU pieces i have ever read. Seriously.

So much beautiful language, you capture so much emotion and sensation in every short section. I love your writing. The bit with Amy...."you were our daughter" *cries*

I wondered what the ending was going to be, if you would go for the happy ending of giving him a way out and setting everything back, but.....*cries* *collapses in sobs*...you didn't and i think this is so much better, how you did this. I love that she effectively becomes him, and who he is to her. Instead of him meeting her with her having died at their first meeting - it's all the other way around, he's dead to her from the start but she still meets the other versions of him and oh gods, it's such a clever clever piece because of that.

There is nothing about this series that isn't wonderful.

Oh, thank you for such a wonderful comment! I really appreciate it.

I thought about making it a happy ending; I'm still vaguely considering an epilogue, but I'm not sure yet. This ending seems to fit the best, really, with the tone of the rest of it. I'm so glad all that stuff came through - her taking his place, their beginning/end role reversal.

I'm so so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you again! <3

This was a beautiful conclusion to this fantastic fic. I want to cry, I want to hug River and the Doctor. I love that she's taken over the Doctor's burden. River Song, in the Tardis, saving the universe.

Amazing fic, my dear! I loved it very much.
