This is really lovely. You've got a beautiful way with language, and it's very tender and sweet.

Thank you so much! That means a lot to me. Part of the fun of fanfiction, at least for me, is practicing wordplay and playing with language.

I love the insight into little Melody and how that's still a large part of who she is.

Gorgeously written. I adore this bit:

His eyes open and widen before finding a tender, loving expression that sears straight into her soul. He doesn't say anything, and she doesn't expect him to. He's never been that type of lover.

Wow, thank you so much! That is a lot of what I was going for, with Melody and the Doctor's deep but unspoken love for River.
