“Her name was River Song. They were together for a while and they were very happy. And then she died a long time ago in a library. He’s The Doctor. He’s very brave and he’s very silly. And I think for a time, he’s going to be very sad. But I promise, in the end, he’ll be alright. I’ll make sure of it.” ▬ Nardole (Doctor Who - The Return of Doctor Mysterio)
Telegraph’s Review of The Return of Doctor Mysterio(x)
You took me to your favourite place on Earth To see the tree they cut down ten years from your birth Our fingers traced in circles round its history We brushed our hands right back in time through centuries
Doctor: Times end, River, because they have to. Because there’s no such thing as happy ever after. It’s just a lie we tell ourselves because the truth is so hard. River: No, Doctor. You’re wrong. Happy ever after doesn’t mean forever. It just means time. Little time.

And they both lived happily ever after…
Now that is how you OTP <3
“Hello Sweetie”
He’s not here! God knows where he is right now but I promise you, he’s doing whatever the hell he wants and not giving a damn about me! And I’m just fine with that! When you love the Doctor, it’s like loving the stars themselves, you don’t expect a sunset to admire you back! And if I happen to find myself in danger, let me tell you, the Doctor is not stupid enough, or sentimental enough, and he is certainly not in love enough to find himself standing in it with me.
You wouldn’t tell me why but I suppose you knew it was time. My time. Time to come to the Library.
The Doctor spent 24 years with River. He loves her and no one can tell me otherwise. He stayed by her side. For him she came here after Manhattan, he knows the Doctor she’ll meet in the Library doesn’t recognise her. He didn’t want the last memory she has of a Doctor that knows her to be of Manhattan, or the last memory she has of ‘her’ Doctor to be of one she doesn’t recognise. So he stayed back. The Doctor stayed still with her for 24 years so that she gets to know this him as much as she’s familiar with Eleven.
And after death, she hung on, as an echo to get a final goodbye from the Doctor she has spent more than a 100 years with. She told him ‘Till the Next Time Doctor’ in Name Of The Doctor because she knew he had a next time with her. One that stretches over 24 years and he said 'See You Around Professor Song’ instead of a goodbye because he never gives up hope of meeting her again.
If anyone dares tell me that River doesn’t love The Doctor or that The Doctor doesn’t love River, please feel free to unfollow me because that is one fucking amazing love story. It’s adventurous, beautiful and absolutely heartbreaking. It’ll make you cry, it’s meant for legends.
The most beautiful love story ever written. One that doesn’t need a They Lived Happily Ever After, just They Lived Happily because they did. They finally were linear and spent years together being husband and wife.
You took me to Darillium to see the Singing Towers. What a night that was.
All I have left to say is...somebody better fic the heck out of those 24 years.
