This story is basically a collection of Doctor Who song fics and oneshots I've written and thought they were no good. Also, I know I haven't updated in a while and I know I needed to do SOMETHING to make it up to you guys. So, here's the little drabbles. Hope you guys will forgive me. I promise I'll be back soon!

I don't own the songs or Doctor Who. No rights infringement intended.

Omnia Sol (Let your Heart be Stayed): a Doctor/River oneshot/songfic

The Doctor sat on River's bed as she flipped through her TARDIS diary, trying to figure out where he was in her time line. Of course, he hadn't met her many times. This was the first time he'd seen her room.

He sat on her bed, bowtie around his neck, and his tweeter jacket hung over a bedpost. He was looking around the room, making mental notes of everything. There were many pillows on her bed, with a few stuffed animals, but no dolls. There was a desk by a window where a vase with roses sat. On the wall nearest the desk was a calender. A few days were circled.

"Have we done Asgard yet?" The Doctor asked, trying to be helpful. River have him a confused look. The Doctor laughed. "Guess not."

River frowned, frustrated, flipping through the diary again.

The Doctor looked at the flowers. They weren't Earth roses. Earth roses weren't purple and blue. There was a card. He opened the parchment and immediately recognized his handwriting.

"Be back soon, I promise.
Call if you need anything at all
I'll come running, as always.
Love, the Doctor x"

"Pandorica!" River suddenly exclaimed, suddenly getting it.

The Doctor was in a daze as pieces clicked. "Ah...yes. Soon after, in fact. Amy and Rory are on their honeymoon." he said absently, turning to look at the calender.

The dates were circled. There were three this month. He flipped to past months. Five, seven, one with two. They all had a number. Some the same. They never went below eleven. If he was right...

He looked at River apologetically. His hearts aching. She had been drabbling on about her findings in digs and it occured to him that he hadn't heard a word. River looked at him and stopped, confused.

"What is it, Doctor?" she asked, worried. She hated seeing her Doctor sad. What had she done?

The Doctor looked away from her. He couldn't look at her. He felt so low.

River put her diary down, stepping toward him. He was pressing his thumb and finger of one hand over his temples, using the other to brace against the window sil. "Doctor?"

The Doctor swallowed, unable to speak first. River was the best thing that ever happened to him. How could he just...? He sighed. "I leave you alone a lot...don't I River?" he asked meekly.

River paused. She had managed to forget that when he'd shown up in the TARDIS. The Doctor turned to her with sad eyes. She gave him a small smile. "Yeah..." she said.

The Doctor jerked around back tithe window. He hated the tone in her voice. The sad tone he'd caused. Or would caused. Bloody time travel!

She desurves better. She desurves one who would stay with her. Could grow old with her. Could give her all she desurved. When would he learn?

He felt River's arms around his waist. It was comforting to have her so close. He turned to look into her eyes, expecting to see sorrow, but was instead greeted by a gaze filled with something he hadn't seen in a wile and couldn't exactly pinpoint.

"But it's okay." she continued. "It makes things even better when you come back. Like now."

How could she still feel that way after being alone all this time? "But WHY do I leave you?" he asked. It didn't sound very him at all, dumping a companion home. Especially him. Unless something had happened or they had asked, there was no way he would.

River shook her head. "Spoilers." she whispered with a smile.

The Doctor chuckled. "I hate that word."

He pressed his forehead to hers. Who knows the next time she would see him? He couldn't spoil it for her. He didn't want to, anyway. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close.

"Omnia sol temperas. Absence in remota." River whispered. "A mame fide liter. Fidem me a noto."

"Latin?" the Doctor asked, confused. "What?"

"It means 'The sun warms everything, even while I am far away. Love me faithfully and know that I am faithful.' " River explained.

"Why Latin? I hate Latin. Such a...DEAD language even the TARDIS won't translate it." he said.

"You do, but you chose Latin. It goes along with what I say when you leave." she paused, getting a sad look. "When DO you have to leave? Surely you could stay the night? I haven't been in YOUR arms in a wile. I miss the bowtie..."

This made the Doctor smile. "Finally admitting bowties are cool?"

"I didn't say that."

The Doctor smiled. "I say we go out then. Come on." he took her hand and led her to the TARDIS. He opened it with the snap of his fingers and led her inside.

River was beaming like a kid on Christmas. It was refreshing to see the TARDIS again, especially when the Doctor opened it just by snapping his fingers. "Hello old girl." she said, touching the console, running her fingers over levers and buttons. It had been too long...

With another snap the doors closed and the Doctor was at the console flipping switches and pressing buttons and pulling levers so fast River could barely keep up.

"Where are we going?" she asked excitedly.

The Doctor smiled at her, his eyes holding love and trust for the woman who remained his no matter how long he was gone. "Asgard."

-

The Doctor hugged her closely once again, but this time inside the TARDIS. He had parked in her garden, careful to avoid her plants. There seemed to be a little pocket in her garden just for the TARDIS to land.

It was time for him to go, though he didn't want to. He supposed he never WOULD want to let her go.

"Come back soon." she told him. "Promise?"

"I promise." he said, though he wasn't sure when he would. He tried not to think about it. "You just be safe. And have fun with your archeology matters."

River nodded with a laugh. "I'll have fun all right. But archeology isn't exactly the most dangerous job." The Doctor winced, remembering the incident at the Library. River continued. "YOU, Doctor, are the one who needs to stay safe. You're much more important than me."

The Doctor smiled, pulling her closer. River wrapped her arms around his neck and gazed into his eyes. Those eyes that were old yet young. That held so many secrets and so many memories...and an emotion she recognized that made her single heart skip a beat and her stomach flip.

The Doctor's instinct was to shy away as her loving, trusting gaze caught his. He couldn't look away. His first instinct was to turn and run, but he found himself pulling her closer and kissing her tenderly.

"I'll miss you." he said, pulling away.

River didn't want to let him go, though. She grabbed the back of his head and dragged his lips back to hers, where they yielded and kissed her with more passion.

"I'll miss you too, sweetie." she said with a sly smile. "You were always the best kisser." she backed away and stepped to the doors, opening them. She turned and took one more look around the TARDIS, her TARDIS, and at the Doctor. Her Doctor. "Till next time, pretty boy." she said with a wave.

And just like that, she was gone. The Doctor thought of all the people that had gone through those doors. They rarely came back, but River would. She always would. He knew that.

While charting the course for the next destination, the Doctor got a message on the psycic paper.

"Oh stay your soul and leave my heart is song
Oh stay your hand, the journey may be long
And when we part, and sorrows can't be swayed
Remember when and let your heart be stayed.

Come back soon, sweetie. And don't be kissing any more girls while you're away! x"

The Doctor laughed. River Song. The girl who would stay faithful. Who would stay his. Forever. Because she didn't care that she desurved better. She wanted him.

And that was enough to keep him coming back.
