Randomly generated character: The Eleventh Doctor
Fic: Make Believe
Author: musedepandora
Author's summary:It didn't end in The Library. For either of them. (Eleven/River, Amy. Spoilers through Pandorica).
Characters: Eleventh Doctor, River, Amy
Rating: All Ages
Spoilers: As the author says, through The Pandorica Opens
Length: 3269 words
Why the rec: It's a simple but brilliant premise: the Doctor sometimes takes the TARDIS back to orbit The Library so he can have conversations with the River he left there in the computer. There's no false romance pasted on here; their relationship is exactly as portrayed in canon, with the Doctor both drawn to and bothered by River, while River is as mysterious as ever. Her status as a dead hologram is not shied away from, nor is the Doctor's fundamental discomfort around her -- and yet it completely works. In the end it's a fascinating exploration of two very complicated characters who have a complex relationship with each other, perfectly executed.
