Title: Slivers of ice
Author: flowsoffire

Pairing/characters: River/Eleven, mentions of the Ponds, Clara and Madame Vastra.
Genre: Romance/Angst
Rating: T

Summary: River does not approve of her husband retiring on a cloud. She thought she could make a difference; the presumption did not last long. In which the dark days seem too dark to breathe through, and a living woman is treated as a ghost. Headcanon/insight piece, set between Manhattan and Snowmen.
Author's note: Holy goodness! This fic was a long time coming. Well, months in fact. Originally this was me dealing with Manhattan and Snowmen, and filling in my headcanon blanks, as I couldn’t imagine how River could have allowed her husband to go off retiring on his cloud, of all things, without delivering a good kick to his sorry Time Lord arse. Then time went by with the fic fully written on my notebook and me too busy or lazy to type, edit and post it—the finale happened, and my headcanon was shoved upside down. XD It’s taken me that long to properly tackle this fic and give it a good rewrite and a new direction. Got done eventually.

I have the lovely a_phoenixdragon to thank for her relentless and squeeful support! Thanks for always being so supportive, honey =)

To help figure out the setting: the Doctor is between Manhattan and Snowmen, after Darillium. River has done Manhattan, but not Darillium yet when she seeks him out. The rest should be self-explanatory.

Enjoy!

Genre: Family/Drama
Rating: K+
Wordcount: co. 2000 words.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
Summary: in a dance out of pace or a maze of a path, they find each other through time. River's journey in scattered order, to husband, father and mother.
Author's Notes: fic written for the wonderful fanwork exchange Eleventyfest and the recipient lovelythings. (All the other gorgeous entry can be found on Eleventyfest's page.) Three separate parts on the theme of found families, for my prompter's first request.
Just for the record, for the second and third I picked sentences from the book The Bell Jar, which I used as prompts: for the second it was "I couldn't find my father anywhere", and the third: "I had the impression that it wasn't night and it wasn't day, but some lurid third interval that had suddenly slipped between them and would never end." (Used as inspiration.)

Title: Pieces and words
Author: flowsoffire
Fandom: Doctor Who
Pairing/characters: Clara, Eleven
Genre: Mystery/Friendship
Rating: K+
Word count: c. 300
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
Summary: Words fly between them, quickly, back and forth. Clara, watchful, weighs hers, attempts to find her way in the stream of the Doctor's. Words are only words, be they many or one. Who, he thinks—why, she asks. Neither answers.
Author's note: Just a random little dialogue fic, because Clara and Eleven are cool and I like the way they dance and shift around each other. Also because she's quick and clever, way enough to realize that a lot of things about the Doctor and herself aren't as random as they look. Anyway. In which Clara isn't the only mystery. Enjoy!

Author's note: It begins with an end, it seems. My first fic for my Doctor Who WIP, and the towers of Darillium. Sadness. Title comes from the song by The Killers, some parts are unsettlingly fitting…
