   Summary

   The Wedding of River Song.

   Remember what actually happened?

   River refused to kill the Doctor because she loved him.

   That act broke history. Eventually, the Doctor found another way to preserve the fixed point, but the episode establishes something important:
   River's love for the Doctor was powerful enough to affect time itself.

   What if reality never completely recovered from that paradox?

   what if.
   It left a tiny fracture.

   Years later, after Demon's Run...
   The fracture finally "heals."And what does it heal?

   The one thing that created the paradox in the first place.
   River's love.

   because that specific love once altered a fixed point.

   but...
   The events don't change. Only the feelings do.
