the Doctor + companions ≡ Doctor and River
“Happy ever after doesn’t mean forever. It just means time.”
They were together for a while, and they were very happy, and then she died, a long time ago…(x)
idk if there’s another post about this elsewhere that I haven’t seen, but I just realized why River has a sonic trowel in the Husbands of River Song -
her grandfather is Brian “What sort of a man doesn’t carry a trowel?” Williams
river song in every episode: ▷ forest of the dead (4.09)
“When you run with the Doctor, it feels like it’ll never end, but however hard you try you can’t run forever. Everybody knows that everybody dies and nobody knows it like the Doctor, but I do think that all the skies of all the worlds might just turn dark if he ever, for one moment, accepts it. Everybody knows that everybody dies, but not every day. Not today. Some days are special. Some days are so, so blessed. Some days, nobody dies at all. Now and then, every once in a very long while, every day in a million days, when the wind stands fair and the Doctor comes to call, everybody lives.”
She thought the sunset was pretty… but, I thought she was prettier.
