Summary
River can feel time breaking around them, like a physical object stuck in their gravitational orbit. They're the epicentre of collapse. And a part of her buckles, fracturing under the weight of what's been taken from her.
"Time is not your plaything, Doctor."
----
In a universe where River Song has never existed, erased from time so that Melody Pond can live, who's left to pull the Doctor back from godhood?

Summary
River turns in his arms, unable to keep her eyes off him for too long. He's giving her a curious look, trying to read her thoughts by the lines around her eyes. It's impossible to fathom a reality in which they don't know every last thing about one another, where she hasn't known him since his very first face, where they didn't sneak into the Capitol like teenagers out after curfew. It's difficult to think that, somewhere out there in the boundless universe, she hasn't called every one of his faces hers.

Summary
River shakes her head, confusion and disbelief creasing her brow. "You can't be serious. This has to be a trick. You and I, we'd never..." her voice trails off, dejected by the deeds they'd witnessed only a moment ago.
"Infinite universes, River," he shrugs, as if he's not speaking his greatest fear aloud. "We were bound to tread a dark path in one of them."

Summary
Shortly after losing Donna, the Doctor receives a distress call from Orion XI, a space station that surely contains a mystery somewhere in its hundred floors.
But to his surprise and to his horror, to his devastation and compulsive intrigue, someone from his past is there too.
"'Professor River Song,' he says stiffly, taking a step back to breathe air that isn’t wreathed with her, choked, nauseatingly undone. (That perfume she wears—it’s floral and half-unearthly. He thinks roses and second guesses himself. Ionized lavender? Extractic vanilla? Chrynocian blooms from Atraxas? Parma violets? The inexorable, omnipresent fragrance of Time?) She’s too much—overwhelming. Alive. He deconstructs complex quantum-astrotechnical equations in his head in mere seconds and can’t quite wrap his mind around the fact that this is in her past. She’s dead and she doesn’t even know it. Can’t know it. It’s his little secret. Hush now—spoilers."

Summary
A soft smile spreads across her face and she sits up further in the bed, tucking pillows behind her back and settling in against them, still watching him. She reaches out and touches his face, her palm soft and warm on his forehead.
“Heal thyself.” She whispers quietly, her voice breathy and sweet as her fingers tickle his skin.
He snorts, “I’m not that kind of Doctor.”
“I know,” She cocks her head to the side, “And even if you were, the last person you’d ever heal is yourself.”
He makes a non-committal sound in his throat because he knows that she is right, but even now, even after everything, penitent as he is, he still has trouble admitting that to River. That she’s right.
