Summary:

Based on Christmas Doctor who special 2015

Notes:

Florence + The Machine, Hardest of hearts title.
Okay, so this is my first Doctor who Fanfiction so I am sort of really excited.
Inspired by the Christmas Doctor Who episode where River was convinced her husband did not love her.
Unbeta'd, so all the mistakes are mine.
I am in the process of proof reading (04/07/16)
And I do not own these characters or the show or anything really apart from a box of pens with no lids.

Chapter 1

Summary:

Short chapter just to set the scene. I was thinking of deleting it all together. However, I did not. The other chapters get better, I promise. :)

"Professor River Song, archaeologist." she had introduced herself and the Doctor really did not care. She and her crew would be leaving and he'd never see her again. 

Only that had not gone according to plan. 

The day had ended with a causality - he really hated those days. Why couldn't everybody live, just for once? The worst thing was that when people died around him, it was all in the sake for him. For him. A lady who he did not know died. A lady who had a tattered blue book with his future - their future - engraved in it. A lady who knew his name... Fear crept through his old Time Lord bones. Fear and resentment for the lady with all the spoilers. 

He hoped that he could delay meeting her again for as long as possible, and even, if he could, not meet her at all. However, that thought made him feel a little sheepish, considering that she had died for him.

Why did things have to be so complicated?
