Title: Empty Tombs
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] 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!

Title: Doctor and River | Already Gone
Creator: Margarita Life
Rating: G
Word Count/Length/Size: 3:36 minutes
Creator's Summary: "... You couldn't have loved me better..."
Characters/Pairing: The Doctor/River Song, Tenth Doctor/River Song, Eleventh Doctor/River Song, Twelfth Doctor/River,
Warnings/Notes: N/A

Reasons for reccing: This is a really beautiful, tragic, and heartbreaking vid that covers the love story of the Doctor & River Song from beginning to end. It really captures the tragedy of their love with the song choice, because as the Doctor was falling in love with River, she was “already gone” since he had already said goodbye to her. The lyrics “we were always meant to say goodbye” just perfectly captures the tragedy of this pair because they always knew that they would inevitably end, and the vidder does a great job of using this song in combination with various clips and great editing to create a really heartfelt and emotional tribute to the pairing.

Title: love looks not with the eyes
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] mygalfriday
Rating: Mature
Word Count/Length/Size: 63,855 words
Creator's Summary: Still holding onto his wrist, River turns slowly and comes face to face with her pickpocket. He’s older than she’d expected – fluffy gray curls peeking out from beneath a battered top hat. Tall and thin, he wears a shabby black coat and leans heavily on a walking stick. He’s staring right at her but his eyes are oddly blank and she realizes with a jolt that he’s blind.

“Well no wonder I caught you,” she mutters, watching him frown in her direction. “You can’t even see what you’re doing.”

Characters/Pairings: Twelve/River
Warnings/Notes: Victorian AU

Reasons for reccing: This is just the most wonderful AU. The author has fully realized River and Twelve as they are in canon and yet, completely made me believe they are not out of place in Victorian times. Missy, Nardole, Bill, Amy, Rory, Clara, they're all here and it's glorious!

Title: but she prefers two lumps of sugar and tea
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] mygalfriday
Rating: Mature
Word Count/Length/Size: 12,603
Creator's Summary: “What, no non-fat latte with a caramel drizzle or triple venti soy latte with no foam? Half sweet non-fat macchiato with an extra shot? Two percent foam? Three pumps? Upside down or some other rubbish?”

Stifling a smile at his harassed and suspicious expression, River shakes her head and says simply, “No. Just tea.”

Characters/Pairings: River/Twelve
Warnings/Notes: coffee shop AU

Reasons for reccing: Another marvelous work by mygalfriday(BrinneyFriday). This is another AU set in a coffee shop. Twelve is lovably grumpy and he and River have wonderful chemistry. Clara and Missy are here again as well.

Title: Sex Storm
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] nonelvis
Rating: Explicit
Word Count/Length/Size: 3403
Creator's Summary: Somehow, it took the Doctor three weeks to deliver Clara's coffee. Well, he did say he got distracted ...
Characters/Pairings: River/Twelve
Warnings/Notes: Porn With Plot

Reasons for reccing: This one is a hot little number set for right after the Doctor regenerates. It's rather early in River's timeline. Their banter here is spot on and really steamy as is the sex. It's also pretty funny.

Title: Maybe We're Just Dreaming
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] HellNHighHeels
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 7826
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.
