    Summary

    Each time he seemed to land the exact year, the exact month, the exact day - and each time he could feel it happening, the exact second when River Song died. No matter where he stood in the universe at that moment, as far as he was from the Library, he always knew.

    and somehow those moments had become home for him too; little seconds where he saw her, felt her, kept loving her. Sometimes pain, sometimes small instants of joy, enough to remind him she was still running somewhere, and so was he.

    Summary

    It’s not unusual to be propositioned by the resort guests. It happens at least once a week, much to his chagrin—always with a drunken smirk and a well-placed tip, like he can be bought for an extra few pounds. But there’s something different in the way she’s asking, the teasing lilt to her voice—like she knows, like she’s mocking them, not him, and while he has very little doubt she would and could eat him alive if so inclined, there’s something else. Something deeper. He’s been here a year, and become an expert in recognising sadness and shame—it rolls off people here in waves. Bad business decisions, complicated affairs—but it’s different, with her. Darker. There’s a caution in the way she moves, an edge to her voice that he’s never heard before, and it makes him curious. Draws him in.

    He intends to say no. Intends to turn her down flat and go back to his business and forget all about the strange encounter, but instead what he blurts out is, “I don’t even know your name.”

    Her expression softens, like it’s one of the most heartfelt things anyone’s ever asked her. Moving back toward the bar, she holds out a hand. “River,” she says. “River Song.”

    Without thinking, he shakes her hand.

    At night they take a blanket down to the beach and stare up at the stars, and she tells him about Altair and Aquila and he tells her he thinks he’s always been her lover, just hers, and when she kisses him he breathes her name like a prayer.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “You’ll never be forgotten, River. Not by history and least of all by me. You know, I never told you, but if you were to separate all of the hours I spent with all of my friends, companions and family into bundles, yours would be the largest, by some distance. I’ve spent the greatest fraction of my life in your company. And what spectacular company, I couldn’t have asked for better.”
