Fics like Stolen Time

She must be hallucinating. River Song is dead, and she’s been dead for a very long time. Their time streams have separated. Darillium has passed them by, and they have said goodbye too many times to count. She was even haunted by River’s ghost for a while — data floating through the air and feeling too deeply to be entirely comfortable. Maybe that is what’s happening now: just another ghost. A trick of blood loss and shock and pain, or maybe a hazy last-ditch effort by the TARDIS interface to keep her grounded, but River’s panicked gasp sounds real. The click of heels on the floor vibrate ever so slightly beneath her. The hands on her neck and wrist that check for twin pulses are warm and firm and don’t waver in the way a ghost's would. She’s being haunted by the real thing. Somehow that’s worse. A little Thirteen/River one shot for Thirteen Fanzine prompt week day 2: Haunted
