DW Drabble
So, life is sort-of kind-of back to normal. And... I wrote a drabble! Maybe it should have been a ficlet, because 100 words restricts everything, but I think it just about works. And I don't have time for anything more...
Title: A Promise Kept.
Summary: Amy and the Doctor talk about River.
Characters: Amy, Eleven.
Rating: U
Length: 100 words precisely in Appleworks.
Setting: Some time post-A Good Man Goes To War, hence SPOILERS!
A Promise Kept.
“Doctor. About River...”
He stops fiddling, slowly meets her eyes.
“She’s... she’s my little Melody. And she grows up to... marry you. Or near enough. Plus she’s in prison and...”
Her voices catches.
“They stole her once. And life with you - you’re so dangerous. And I-”
He reaches out, cradles her cheek, and in his eyes are dark, painful shadows - just like those that show up whenever he talks of his people.
But when he speaks it is with absolute conviction.
“Amy, listen. I promise you this: I will always be there to catch her. Always.”
She nods.
“You’d better.”
