Author's Summary:
She’s standing on a rooftop, gazing out over a skyline she’s never seen. London by the looks of it. It’s hardly the setting of her usual dreams, no dust covered runes or tombs just begging to be explored. The urge to run doesn’t make her bones itch. In fact, she feels almost tranquil, at peace in a way she hardly ever is in big cities. River shuts hers eyes, letting the night breeze kiss her cheeks and tangle her curls.
“You’re on my roof,” a Scottish voice scowls, mouth half full of food. River turns in time to see the door to the roof slam shut behind a wild haired grouch of a man holding a basket of fried food.
“Funny,” River quips, resting an indignant hand on her hip. “I seem to have gotten here first.”
Characters/Pairings: Twelfth Doctor/River Song (Human AU versions)
Warnings: Author chose not to use official warnings but there is "Character Death--kind of?" in the tags.
Reasons for reccing: a human au where they keep invading each others dreams is not something I would usually seek out, so when I find it by happy accident and it is stirring and lyrical and romantic and sad, I am duty bound to point it out to others. I like how the usual Whovian sci-fi space opera magic is supplanted in this story by a different magic altogether, but it still works to tell the story of star-crossed lovers who ... just maybe ... will get it right one of these times. Or who knows, maybe this iteration was just a prior life, and River and the Doctor that we know are one of just another slightly different expression of the same story told over again.
