Rogue sharpens his tongue on the words. The Doctor tries not to cut himself on them as they go past his ear. Tries not to think about whether he’d cut himself kissing the mercenary, whether that sharp tongue would make him taste blood.

He thinks about the last times he’s wanted something this badly. Wonders if they’d tasted like blood at the time or if hindsight is doing some heavy lifting.

Then again, Rogue’s watching him like he’s something that someone should be careful with, and sure, maybe he brings the blood with him, but maybe Rogue won’t mind.

He wonders what Rogue tastes like. He bets it’s got a kick to it.

Breathless and beautiful, this is a great look at how the dynamic between the Doctor and Rogue might play out…

River senses his hesitation and moves away. Unconsciously, he finds his fingers tightening, holding her head close to his. Her eyes grip his and there is a glow to them he cannot believe appeared in the last few minutes. Perhaps he is only now perceiving it. Something in her shines. Something opened.

He wants it, more of it, but he is afraid to ask, afraid to stand too close, unveil too much of himself.

He feels like his whole perception is shifting, being rewritten. He feels her, acutely—sees so much of her, in her, senses the warmth of her body, the hint of her perfume, the shift of her curls stirring the air. That hot, buzzing air between them. He just found out that her skin feels ever so soft.

This is it, the first time fic of my heart for River and the Doctor. Or rather, for the Doctor – this is an utterly captivating peek into his mind, his heart.

I love me a good voiceover, and this vid is full of them. An intriguing look at the Doctor, his powers and his pains. Music: Experience, by Ludovico Einaudi.

As always with this vidder, this exploration of Clara & Twelve’s time together is simply gorgeously edited. A fitting tribute to a Companion that might not always have been consistently written but who definitely defined who the Doctor is now. Music: Home, by Dotan & Circadian, by Falling Up.

Aww, River’s final speech in Forest of the Dead with beautiful flashbacks (forwards?) to the Christmas special – made my go all teary-eyed…
