Hell in High Heels

"Explain to me in terms that I can understand. What happened to time?" "A woman." River Song isn't one to sit passively. Whether it's shooting the Doctor's hats or facing down Weeping Angels, she is ready for the challenge. My one-shots, mostly character studies, for River Song.

1. Destiny

This has to happen, River. No one can help me.

She'll stay awake at night for it, she'll weep over it , she'll go to jail for it. And that is how it always has to be. Just as he remembers the destruction of Gallifrey, always weighing on him and the wild hope of the Corsair's absolution. He cannot let River bear that weight from now until the Library. So he tells her aloud, so her parents can remember and tell her too. "You are forgiven. Always and completely forgiven."
