    Summary

    It’s not unusual to be propositioned by the resort guests. It happens at least once a week, much to his chagrin—always with a drunken smirk and a well-placed tip, like he can be bought for an extra few pounds. But there’s something different in the way she’s asking, the teasing lilt to her voice—like she knows, like she’s mocking them, not him, and while he has very little doubt she would and could eat him alive if so inclined, there’s something else. Something deeper. He’s been here a year, and become an expert in recognising sadness and shame—it rolls off people here in waves. Bad business decisions, complicated affairs—but it’s different, with her. Darker. There’s a caution in the way she moves, an edge to her voice that he’s never heard before, and it makes him curious. Draws him in.

    He intends to say no. Intends to turn her down flat and go back to his business and forget all about the strange encounter, but instead what he blurts out is, “I don’t even know your name.”

    Her expression softens, like it’s one of the most heartfelt things anyone’s ever asked her. Moving back toward the bar, she holds out a hand. “River,” she says. “River Song.”

    Without thinking, he shakes her hand.

    Summary

    Like most people, she didn’t choose her family. Amy chose her in a way, and Rory always loved anything Amy loved. It was a disconcerting day when River discovered she was not the first Pond adoptee. That honor belonged to the man currently on stage enthusiastically butchering Simon and Garfunkel’s Mrs. Robinson.

    Summary

    "You found me," she says, and there's nothing - no happiness, no relief, not even fond exasperation. 

    Not even love. 

    "I - found -?" he stammers, and there's still nothing, no indication that she's at all glad to see him. 

    "Oh, of course," she smiles ruefully. "You weren't looking for me at all, were you?"

    Summary

    River Song was always left behind. She’s accepted it from the day she knew about her parents.

    She was always lying.

    She was always lying about not being hurt by being abandoned.

    Being lonely.
    She tried to console herself with the fact that, it wasn’t anybody’s fault.

    Maybe, just this once, she doesn’t have to do it on her own.

    Summary

    She’d opted not to wear her lab coat – meeting him in plain clothes would disassociate her from his other doctors – it was important that he trusted her. He didn’t look up as she shut the door behind her and walked over to sit across from him. “Hello, John – my name is Melody-”

    He looked up at the sound of her voice and a bright grin broke across his face instantly, all appearance of tiredness falling from him as he sat up straighter. “Doctor River Song, my bad, bad girl, what have you got for me this time?” His eyes were bright as he leaned forward and she stared at him for a moment, and debated how to proceed. He’d obviously instantly included her in his delusion – which could be good in terms of acquiring his trust, but bad in terms of him talking to her – depending on what role he’d assigned her.
