The fic that ate my head.
28 June 2011 01:24 pmRight, here you are. This thing has not let me have any peace the last few days, but it is done now, so I’m inflicting it on you! :) Now the sticking point was that it is pretty much hurt/comfort - nothing wrong with that, but it’s not normally my cup of tea... There are exceptions however, and the degree of earnest heartfeltness in this piece is bordering on the ridiculous.
However, I managed to weave all kinds of other meta-y things in there - f.ex. you can see it as a subversion (gender-flipping) of the manpain trope if you like. Or as an examination of the ways in which River is a mirror for the Doctor. Or as a character study. Or a First Time story. Or just a bit of shameless shipping...
Title: She Can Be. She Will Be.
Summary: For it is in pardoning that we are pardoned. (St Francis of Assisi)
Characters/pairing: Eleventh Doctor/River.
Setting: Some time post-DW6.07 (SPOILERS!!!)
Rating: 15. (Non-graphic sex.)
Word count: 3000 words approx.
Dedication: For Promethia, who helped make this what it is.
