Drabbles of the Doctor Whoniverse

by ShinyTogeticFTW

Drabble: noun - a fictional story, typically in fanfiction, that is exactly 100 words long. This is a collection of my Doctor Who drabbles. They may include any of the Doctor's incarnations in no particular order and/or his respective companions, but they mostly feature New Who characters (including, but not limited to, those listed below, which are the ones who appear most often).

14. River's Greatest Loss

I sent him a message on his psychic paper, knowing he would come; he's never let me down before, and I'm certain he never will. When I catch up with him, I offer my usual greeting.

"Hello, Sweetie."

He looks somewhat confused, and I wonder how it could be that he wasn't expecting me. I'm slightly apprehensive when I realize he's younger than I've ever seen him before. Holding my breath as I move closer, I am faced with my worst fear: I look into that man's eyes – my Doctor – and he doesn't have the faintest idea who I am.

A/N: Unlike the other two "lost" prompt drabbles, this one takes place mid-episode rather than towards the end; in Silence in the Library, when River approaches the Doctor and discovers that he doesn't know her – just as she predicted to Rory in The Impossible Astronaut.
