Summary
For centuries, Sage has clung to a fading prophecy, making an annual pilgrimage to Darillium, the planet built on a legendary love. The once-singing Towers have been silent for a thousand years, their song lost after a cosmic heartbreak. Now, in their twilight years, Sage discovers a single, impossible bloom—a sign that perhaps, this Christmas Eve, the universe might finally keep its promise. But the return of the song might reveal a truth far more profound, and far more personal, than Sage ever dared to imagine.

Summary
The Thirteenth Doctor was only meant to sit in on one of River Song's lectures-maybe two. Just enough to satisfy her curiosity. But then it became three. Then four. Then she lost count.
Now she's in too deep.
River's been working on a secret plan to escape her future-the Lux Library, and the Doctor's stuck in a now fixed point in time with a choice: walk away and keep the timeline tidy... or stay, and bring back the woman she never meant to fall for all over again.
(Accidentally made this a fix it fic, but I put history behind it). -
