    Summary

    The Doctor knew she’d be there.
    He knew he was cheating, breaking his own rules.
    He said long ago that good men don’t need rules.

    What he needed was to see her one last time.

    Summary

    The camera catches his eye in the middle of a search for his favorite jumper, the worn strap poking out from beneath a wayward cushion. He picks it up with a grumble about old companions never picking up after themselves, straightening to study his find. It’s an old polaroid - the kind from the sixties that offered instant gratification. “Rubbish,” he mutters, and hangs it around his neck anyway.

    Do pictures really help?

    Summary

    He gazes at her in silence for a moment as the gravity of what has just transpired settles over him. They had just promised to guard Missy for a thousand years. “She'll need constant supervision and I don't trust anyone else to do it.” He pauses, licking his lips. “You said...You said we’ll look after her. Did you mean it?”

    River’s expression grows even softer as she steps closer to him, until her hand brushes his and the heat of her is enough to warm him from the inside out. “Of course I did,” she answers softly. “Together.”

    Summary

    “What are you afraid of?”

    He asked as gently as he could, but it didn’t stop River glaring at him like he’d as good as smacked her across the face. “I’m not afraid. My love defines me. It’s what stands between who I am and who the Silence wanted me to be. It’s my freedom, it’s my - purpose-”

    “Then let someone give it back.”

    “No.”

    Summary

    That was why a lot of people took his class, or even just attended his lectures when they had a chance - in order to try and solve the mystery that was the Doctor. And every once in awhile, someone would get lucky enough that they would find out just one more thing about him.

    Eventually, they learned about her.
