What Child is This, by alwaysagus (Teen)
This is my last rec before handing over my keys to the next DW driver. Hope you guys have enjoyed my recs and found something you liked!
Fandom: DOCTOR WHO
Pairing: River Song/Eleventh Doctor, River Song/OC
Length: 80K+
Author on LJ: alwaysagus
Author Website: Fiction index on A03
Why this must be read: This is a WIP, but it's close to the end. The author has a wonderful grasp on Eleven and River, and puts them into a situation that is downright domestic, but somehow still very whovian. Sometime after "A Good Man Goes to War," while searching for little!Melody on his own, the Doctor stumbles upon River Song in Delaware (of all places) with a house full of orphans, one of which is little Melody herself. And River is not too receptive to the Doctor's visitation. The author has captured River and the Doctor so beautifully outside their normal parameters of alien madness, and oh, the sexual tension between them is wonderful and enticing. Plus, there's secrets that River is holding in, which adds a level to her story that makes the reader so eager to find out the truth - almost as much as the Doctor.
Wonderful, long read.
What Child is This?
The Doctor finished up the few dishes she had left in the sink. He figured that it was the appropriate gesture considering he had offered to complete the chore in the first place…not to mention that she might look on him favorably and spare him a regeneration or two.
Nothing ever seemed to come across just as he intended. Though he did ask the last question exactly as he intended – which was the problem. Not only was time wibbly wobbly, but so was communication with River. It was most unfortunate that she had so much more practice and was far more advanced in the art of flirtation and button-pushing. However, he may have skipped a few levels in the last five minutes. Which wasn't necessarily a good thing. He imagined River sitting in a dark room, fuming and preparing the perfect verbal and emotional attack. He suspected the physical required very little planning.
Perhaps he should leave well enough alone and summon the TARDIS.
"Perhaps" was a word on which he often reflected and wished he had followed. Even a Time Lord was subject to hindsight.
This would most definitely not be one of those times. Because he had no intention of going anywhere until the question was answered.
The Doctor dried his hands as he looked out the window. The children had separated themselves into groups and were engaged in various activities throughout the house; however, Gus sat underneath a tree playing quietly by himself. Within only a couple of hours, a fondness for the little boy had settled in nicely amongst the quirks of his personality, and he had to admit he was thrown a bit off-center by the boy.
Resisting the urge to seek out River and interrupt whatever sinister plans she had in the making, the Doctor instead opened the front door and stepped out onto the porch. A brisk wind blew through his jacket and made a bigger mess of his lazy hair. His body shook with the chill of the cold and the knowledge that the boy always appeared to be alone in this "family" of many. Even sadder still was the smile that always teased at his face, as if he knew something special to which none other was privileged, and no one was ever around him to share in that secret.
"Hello, tiny person," he said as he danced down the porch steps.
Gus looked up and smiled. "Hi, really tall doctor person."
