This is *wonderful*. I love how you put together the time displacement of River's life so that we get a real sense of her as both her mother's daughter (the parallels you show between her and Amy are *fantastic*) AND, in certain ways, her mother's *mother*--in addition to her ties to the Doctor, and the sense of her *self* as an independent entity. A whole, fascinatingly-drawn picture of River, and really, *really* well done.
