Rec: Empty Tombs by Dara Oakwise (Twelve/River)

[eve11]

Title: Empty Tombs
Creator: DaraOakwise
Rating: Teen and Up
Word Count: 11348
Creator's Summary: When River Song finally escaped the Library and started searching for the Doctor, she kept hearing one terrible word: Trenzalore, Trenzalore, Trenzalore.
Characters/Pairings: Twelfth Doctor, River Song, Twelfth Doctor/River Song, Eleventh Doctor/River Song
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: This was written pre-Husbands of River Song, and tells an alternate tale of the meeting of a post-Library River and the Twelfth Doctor. It has wonderful world building, danger, captures and rescues, and a fantastic supporting cast who shine even in brief encounters. The coda deftly navigates a discussion of the timey-wimeyness of Gallfrey's not-destruction and also sets the stage like a new beginning. So stop by and check it out if you haven't already--It was written in 2015 but I seem to have missed it until now. So glad I found it!
