The problem with my newly restructured and restrengthened belief that 11 wasn't an entirely shitty husband - at least not the way THORS sort of made him be - is that I now have to be careful of reading 12/River fics because 11 had his faults, yes, but come on, 12 isn't that much better too.

there's this tenriver fic i've been reading and it's wonderful. i love the plot. it's certainly interesting. i love how the author shows their dynamic. what i do not love is how this follows the vein of people believing that eleven is a shitty husband who has never ever cared for his wife but oh well we can't always get what we want yeah?

reading Eighth Doctor/River fics always leave me squealing in a different manner than the other Doctor/River ones. not in a bad way. or > way. but ugh it's Eight and River!! 8 and River!! 8 and River!! 8 and River!!!

I was re-reading this fic last night on baby River and I LOVE the thought that the reason why baby River broke time was because she wanted to tell him she loved him. Although I don't agree that the Doctor kept away for *that* long and that the Ponds weren't that present in her uni life, I love how the author built up their relationship though. Little adventures which the Doctor insisted weren't dates because their real, actual dates were infinitely better. How she kept on wondering when she'd be the River Song the Doctor spoke so fondly of in Berlin, whether she really will be that River Song. She wanted to tell him she loved him but always held back because it wasn't the 'right time' yet. So when Kovarian and her lackeys once again took her away and bundled her into that spacesuit in the bottom of Lake Silencio, she had to do something because she couldn't let him go like that. So she broke apart time and space. She wasn't going to stop his "death". She just wanted to *finally* tell him that she loved him back.

The palpable confusion on my face when I read "River initiates the kisses" and then I remembered it was written with outdated data

He’d never been one for staying still. Staying still was boring. But his magnificent wife would never be so, and as he lay next to her, he knew he wouldn’t care if he never moved again.

I hunger for more fics that has River calling Amy and Rory as Mum and Dad, and the TARDIS as Mam or Mama or whatever variation

i'm sorry(-ish). but reading something that goes along the lines of "River likes it in the Library" makes me spit out my drink in amusement because gurl, let me tell you -
