scripsiTitle: Sliding Down the Razorblades of Life
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters from Doctor Who, I just play with them for fun.
Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters: River Song, The Master (Delgado)
Rating: R
Complete: 1/4
Summary: River Song's last term at University. A sequel to Visiting Time.
AN: My fics about the Master and River Song’s started by chance and proved to be unexpectedly fun to write. So here is a third part, which will be longer and not so fun, though you will hopefully like it anyway. I have always felt that River Song, underneath her banter and flirting, is a deeply sad person. A person who gets cheated of, not only her childhood, but a happy life altogether. And the Master is evil, even if he seems to have a capacity to like people. The rating has been raised again as this fic contains some sex, even if it is not very explicit.
The title comes from a song by Tom Lehrer called Bright College Days
Gossip In the Library
“River! Oh River!”
Two young females descended on a third who looked up with an irritated frown from her work at the library table. “What?”
Despite being obviously un-welcomed the girls sat down, talking into each others sentences.“Guess what?”
“We have seen the new tutor.”
“Your new tutor.”
“He’s dark.”
“And mysterious.”
“Sexy.”
“Just up your alley!”
“And haughty. He told Headmaster that he only took on the best students.”
River started to shuffle her papers and books together. “As if I care, just as long as he is good.”
“That’s not all. When he left we heard the Dean say that he thought the new tutor seemed rather arrogant but Headmaster said she didn’t care as long as that woman didn’t chew him up and spat him out as she did with her last tutor.”
They laughed rather nastily. “Meaning you River.”
River stood up and left, throwing her response over her shoulder. “Well, at least my grades are excellent. Perhaps yours would manage to be mediocre at least, if you would put all that work in finding and passing gossip into your homework instead.”
