Title: Or Not At All
Author: sunflowerb
Rating: Teen/Adult-ish… Mild sexual content.
Characters: Eleventh Doctor, River Song, lots of mentions of the Ponds
Words: 13,706
Why I'm recommending this: Because I'm a sucker for angst and post-Manhattan!dysfunctional but amazing couple!hidden grief!fics are my drug.
Summary: "If we're going to hurt anyway, why don't we hurt together?"
The aftermath of Manhattan. River is determined to hide the damage even if it kills her. And it just might.
Something is going to crumble, she's just not sure if it's going to be her marriage or herself.

Characters: Eleventh Doctor, Clara Oswald, River Song
Words: 10,729
Why I'm recommending this: Because of moreangst and trauma and smashing writing/character insight? Yeah, merry Christmas guys ♥ (Another wonderful AU.)
Summary: The last thought he has of her is that only River Song would wear white to a funeral.
Then he forgets her entirely.

Title: The Moon Rises Over and Over Again
Author:quidly
Rating: Adult (sexual content)
Characters: Eleventh Doctor, River, Amy, Rory, the TARDIS.
Words: around 11,500.
Why I'm recommending this: Absolutely gorgeous, poetic, insightful and unique.
Summary: We are all of us memories, just stories, in the end.
Multi-chaps:
Title: The Unthinkable Verse
Author: our one and onlya_phoenixdragon
Rating: Adult
Characters: Eleventh Doctor, Rory, lots of Amy mentions
Words: 20,789
Why I'm recommending this: DUDE. Erm, where do I start? Another breath-taking AU… It just took my heart, broke it to square bits, hacked the pieces and shoved back the result into my chest. Roughly that's it.
Summary: Sleep was a thing of the past. / So far, it had been eight months since her death, and this was only the second planet they had landed at and actually stepped foot upon.
Title: Moon River
Author:avarill and taiamu's epic collab.
Rating: All Ages
Characters: Eleventh Doctor, River Song
Words: 46,658
Why I'm recommending this: Perfect in the action, perfect in the characterization, perfect in the shipping. I tried to keep my River/Eleven obsession about in check in those, and that's the multi-chap I pick, so make of that what you will!
Summary: With Lake Silencio inexorably approaching, the Doctor wonders if it's time to fulfil his first and last promise to River. But the River he finds isn't used to being the one who has to say 'spoilers.' So they compromise: an archaeological expedition on a stormy, hostile moon where an ancient danger lurks behind every shadow.
