A/N: Oh my gosh, I haven't written in forever! I'm so sorry! I have had 5 month long writers's block that is finally starting to subside, thank goodness. Now that the time is present, I'll be writing a lot more. Concerning Matt Smith's news- I am devastated! I don't know what to do! And adding a DW reference in his statement, while it was definitely the right thing to say and he couldn't have ended it any better, made it hurt so much more! Concerning The Name of the Doctor- I really enjoyed it, as always, but something about the ending of a certain character (I won't mention names in case someone hasn't seen it yet) didn't seem very Stephen Moffat-ish. It makes me suspicious, so maybe, hopefully, our certain character will be back. This is presumably pre-TNOTD, but really it could be placed anywhere. Enjoy! : )
They say you can sum up a person by how they act when they are in love. If that's the case, the Doctor thought, he must not be half bad. Some might even go as far as calling him pleasant. She makes him these things.
When she is around, he's kind, and honest, and caring. He is reasonable, or as reasonable as he could be- most of the time. He is thoughtful, considerate, and more courageous than ever. He's flirtatious, which was new and just weird. It was a totally new tone of voice.
One certainly can't leave out youthfulness. She made him feel young, as though she were his first, when in reality he is over one thousand years old. She teaches him to think in different viewpoints and perspectives, so he sees things differently than his own way. With her, he is less stubborn- except for the times when she causes his stubbornness, but that's completely different. She shows him faith; she had always believed in him through every time he had given up. From her he has learned to be lighthearted and teasing; the times they've bantered back and forth are uncountable. She teaches him to appreciate what he has, because he'll never know when it will be gone.
Finally, she shows him how to be loving. He had learned how to say 'I love you' through nothing more than a smile. He loves her more than anything in the universe, more than the worlds themselves, and he will never know what he would do if he ever had to give her up. She has done so much for him, has molded him into a better person. And he loves her for it.
Everything he is- and was, ever could be- is because of her. Because of that unexpected, courageous, completely insane woman. His River Song. His wife.
I'm considering writing another chapter like this from River's point of view, about what the Doctor has done for her. It depends on how this one goes. Thanks for reading!
