Oh, my god. Your River voice. Her voice! I can hear her voice so well in this. I was so, so happy with the first part about the cat ears (I had heard previously about Alex's comments about them, perhaps from you, even), and the way you really got into River's head right there.
And then, and then, OMG this: "the next time you use an ambiguous declension to imply I’m a family pet" made me so ridiculously happy, because I love when anyone talks about Gallifreyan, and the little nuances of language, and River learning it...wonderful!
The time loop explanation was adorable and clever all at once!
And the ending, such a beautiful and tender relationship, but you make it so subtle (his little smile, her winding him up). Oh, this was too good. Brilliant!
How are you so amazing?
