Reflections Within Our Paradox

Summary:

Snapshot scenes, letters, and the like that relate to Echoes of Pain; Shadows of Love. Can be read as stand alones. Ratings span G - M

Latest: Years had turned into several decades and he was still walking by her diary and pretending. Mostly that it wasn't there but sometimes he let himself pretend she was coming back for it, desperately adding bits of kindle to a dying ember.

If that wasn't enough self torture, there was her fantasm. It wasn't enough to suffer with memories of her, memories so vivid and bright, like a thousand suns. Terribly strong and sharp, shaped into daggers that endlessly pierced at his hearts. No, that was no where near enough; she had to haunt him as well.

Notes:

Had a completely different fic I wanted to post as a sort of anniversary fic. July 24th 2014 was when I posted How to Blush a Time Lord, my first dw fic. Sadly life happened and I not only am still working on the fic I wanted to post, but I missed the 24th. Such is life.

Anyway, at the encouragement of my lovely beta. I am starting this instead, and a little late. A collection of scenes, letters, etc that not only relate to the version of River & Eleven from Echoes of Pain; Shadows of Love, but add depth to their story from before it.

Not everything I plan to write or want to, will fit in that story but I loathe giving those 'deleted scenes' up. I do hope its all enjoyed.

This first chapter I am using as an index/guide on ao3. I am also open to suggestions on anything that would fit well in this collection.

A tease from the next -

(Unedited)

River,

I ask you forgive my previous letter as I suffered what you might call an unexpected shock, literally. Had my head scrambled for a few days. Anyway, better now. I really need to take more care when messing with power couplings.

I think in my last letter, the one you really need to forgive, i mentioned getting married. I should clarify that the marriage was purely accidental. Problem with time travel is you can drink a cup of cocoa and find yourself with an Aztec bride. Personally, I've always prefered being surprised by customs but it does have its pitfalls.
