Why this must be read:

Simon watches the tapes of River at the academy. Sharp and painful, it's a wonderful and real look at River and Simon as they were and as they are.

An excerpt:

"Yes." There is no give in her voice but after a moment she smiles. "Get better, maybe. Less different. Less division. More River and less other. But not
the same. Can't go back. Principles of time travel are undefined."

"And the theories on it are dubious at best," he finished. When they were children, it had been a game of theirs. To choose a time and a life other than
that one and play at what they would have been. "If I could be anywhen, I would be before they took you, and I wouldn't let them."

"If I could be anywhen, I would be a River they didn't want to take. I would be *just*," she answered.
