This was beautiful and perfect. The quote at the end was spot on, and I felt the Doctor's hope and joy when he spun Clara around. Loved River giving Clara her earrings with a message-perfectly ingenious and in character.

I enjoyed this start to finish. You made me empathize more with Clara in this fic than I ever have from watching the show, and I loved seeing Happy 11 with the Pond Family through her eyes. His happiness was so wonderful (something for the good pile) but so painful, knowing that he lost the people he loved.

River's birthday gifts were thoughtful and gave me mad feels. Even though Amy didn't have a ton of "screen time" here, she felt authentic and my heart ached for her and what she and Rory lost (and what they are savoring here with River).

Love River as an Egyptian god and the Doctor going on a dig for her.

Loved River noticing Clara and doing something about it. She's taking care of her Doctor, but she also cares about Clara, and that's beautiful.

I wish I had a button to press for Super-Duper Favorite. "Favorite" doesn't seem to quite cut it.
Thank you for this!

:) Just saw the Xmas trailer after Hell Bent, well, you could fit this in as canon around the corners a guess. :)

génial y a de la matière pour continuer

That was just amazing. A perfect mix of Eleven's era and a little bit of Twelve. I could picture it all so clearly in my mind's eye. Just perfection. No words. Excellent job. I loved every second of this. :) :D

This was amazing and so sweet

I LOVE IT!

Not really a River fan but well done. :)

This is beautiful. I cried at the thought of the Doctor and his family, how happy he really was. I can sort of see why he needed Clara, because he needed a friend :)

Really beautiful and really sad :(

I miss 11 but I have to remind myself that incarnations never will last forever but the Doctor will stay always.

12 meeting River, too be honest, I'm not sure what to feel until I know what 12 is like. Matt would disagree the thought of 12 meeting River, because Matt is quiet possessive and thankful that River is 11's wife and not 12 ;)

Anyway, so beautiful ;) so sad, memorable and something that we all needed to be reminded.

I really love the ending, i really hope that River appears if only for one episode this upcoming season, Resurrect her, let her regenerate from time to time, she's earned a permanent part of the Doctor's life as much as Sarah Jane, and Romana.

That was adorable. I loved how Clara wound up right where she needed to be st just the right time. And I love how happy the doctor was with his family. The raw emotion was perfectly balanced with plot. I just loved it! M
