Summary
“Well, this is optimal.”
Yaz couldn’t help but stare. “Doctor, how can you possibly say that without the least bit of sarcasm in your voice?”
She shrugged. “At least we know how it got started.”
“If it’s all the same to you,” Ryan piped up, “I’d rather have not learned firsthand.”
In which the Doctor and her companions end up in the wrong time (surprise, surprise) and end up being saved by the one person the Doctor thought she'd never see again.

Summary
She knows what she needs to do. Has known, from the moment Yaz stumbled into the TARDIS, breathless, her hair singed and a streak of dried blood on her arm and said, “They took him. They took Ryan.”
But knowing is different from moving. From careening around the console and pulling the lever that will put them into flight, put them on this path—put her on this path—that once she’s on, she can’t avoid.
It will change history. Their history.

Summary
She didn't need to check the Book of Faces to know which Doctor this was. Short hair, sharp features, long, lanky body - this was number nine, whom her Doctor had told her she would never meet. This was the Doctor fresh from the Time War. (Spoilers for "A Good Man Goes to War.")

Summary
“I’m never going to give up on you, River. I’ll find a way. I’ll bring you back. I promise.”
The moment the universe relinquishes its demands, the Doctor conjures up a plan. It’s far from risk-free, but she’s spent over half her life now trying to save River from the Library. She had been after a miracle all these years and now, bolstered by the new knowledge of who she is and what she’s capable of, for the first time she feels like she might have one.
She has to try. She has to.Bookmarked by ReaderLurking

Summary
“Did the pastries hurt you, Doctor?” It’s Ryan’s attempt at levity, and at getting her to talk behind a metaphor. She appreciates him more than she can put into words.
She hums a positive, “Mhm. I’m short two pastries. And I wasn’t planning on it.”
“Did someone take them?”
“No.” She drags Yaz’s hand to her hair and receives a few scratches before she begins on a braid. Perfect. “I let her have them. They were for her and her husband.”
Or,
The Doctor has been missing her favorite Portuguese pastries. Only she finds someone she's been missing just as much.

Summary
"You found me," she says, and there's nothing - no happiness, no relief, not even fond exasperation.
Not even love.
"I - found -?" he stammers, and there's still nothing, no indication that she's at all glad to see him.
"Oh, of course," she smiles ruefully. "You weren't looking for me at all, were you?"

Summary
“Have we met before? Well, no matter – that makes things easier. Or perhaps not depending on our last encounter.” Without waiting for a reply, River reaches for the gun strapped to her thigh and levels it right in his face, smiling serenely. “Don’t make any sudden moves, Scottish Eyebrows. I’m going to need you to marry me.”

Summary:
It shouldn’t have surprised him that he left the courtroom and fell straight into another adventure. Soldiers and Rusty the Dalek and a miniaturisation ray… just an ordinary Monday. But River’s words kept ringing through his mind. ‘Are you a good man?’
He didn’t know, anymore. He certainly didn’t feel like one.

River Song is in love with the Doctor.
It is simple, her love for him. There is no need for dramatic poetry or extravagant romance - it simply is. She has spent her entire life being lied to and she can no longer stomach lying to herself - she is in love with the Doctor.
