Why this must be read:

This is a dark little fic that explores the consequences that messing with someone's timeline could have; the vast capacity for manipulation that the doctor's position gives him, even if he wouldn't really use it; and the limits of play, where and whether the game begins or ends.

"Your history is a river, flowing from the mountains of your birth down to the endless ocean. The river is broad and deep, difficult to divert. But if I climb up into the mountains, and put a rock in just the right place, its whole course changes. Valleys dry up and plains flood, at my merest whim."
