What happens when the Doctor meets a Whovian? He invites her to be a companion, of course! Doctor Who fan April accepts, and soon learns that his Tardis has been malfunctioning. What has happened to the Tardis? Why is the Tardis so intent on making the Doctor travel with April? Could they possibly have met elsewhere? Originally a one-shot, turned into a multichapter story.

This is story of River Song's life, starting as Melody Pond and continuing through Trenzlore. This is how she became the woman that the Doctor fell in love with and how she watched the people she cared most about know her less and less. This is her story. 11/River, Amy/Rory. Cannon through Matt Smith's era (or supposed to be). Rated T because it's River.
