NineRiver is everything to me

well, I say that for all DoctorRiver pairings lol but [seagull squawks] the NineRiver audios are everything to me now and I have thoughts thunking around about it.

[POTENTIAL SPOILERS. DO NOT READ AHEAD IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILERED]

Swipe Right felt stilted to me at first but then I realized maybe that's how it was meant to be. It was the first time River met that regeneration of the Doctor's who's fresh out of the Time War. She had to learn how to vibe with him. The continuous "I'll NEVER marry you. I don't do that." made my heart hurt honestly and I just wanted to hug River 😭 Nine may be brutally honest but he's also so kind and we see that soft!Nine in Archipelago.

Then with Face of the Apocalypse, ohh it hit me right in the gut. It made me laugh too honestly 😆 Doctor Sweetie and Miss Curly Hair <3 then I ended up bawling lmao

With the last audio, Archipelago, ohhh. I haven't been the same person I was before I listened to that audio. I have been irrevocably changed. That audio is now on the same level as Someone I Once Knew (4River). I also love how this smashes any belief that River forces the Doctor to have sex with her or do anything that the Doctor is uncomfortable with. Nine is asexual and River adjusted herself accordingly. They grew old TOGETHER and River was happy enough just holding hands with him and exchanging stories, truths with each other that no other Doctor or River will ever know.

Anyways, I've done my best to hold back from too many spoilers. SO I RECOMMEND Y'ALL TO LISTEN TO STAR CROSSED RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

1, 2, 37, 41, and 11 (I know you’re partial to doctorriver so in this case let’s make it abt which dynamic -4River/CuratorRiver, 8River, 10River, and so on or are you equal opportunity)

1. What fic of yours would you recommend to someone who had never read any of your work? (In other words, what do you think is the best introduction to your fics?) I think the best introduction for someone with some time on their hands is probably there is a love I reminisce but for a lower-commitment intro, I'd probably go with I don't wanna run, just overwhelm me.

2. Go to your AO3 “Works” page, to the sidebar with all the filters, and click the drop-down arrow for “Additional Tags.” What are your top 3-5 most used tags? Do you think they accurately represent your writing habits?

Oh, god this is an embarrassing question. I'm so bad at tagging, and I used to be even WORSE at tagging, because I'd been out of the fanfic world since the days when people unironically used citrus terminology, and had only dipped into reading Doctor/River fic a few months before but had not updated myself at all on the modern conventions of fanfic or like How Ao3 Worked. Which is, of course - in combination with having absolutely no idea what I was getting into when I decided to write a scene from Darillium that popped into my head one day - how I ended up writing an 84-chapter fic as a series and making everyone hate me for 6 months. My friends in the fandom assure me no one does hate me for this but they also will never let me live it down, so 😂 ANYWAY this monstrosity fucked up all my tagging stats and I was, at the time, clueless of conventions and haphazardly tagging it with things like "romance" like just normal non-fanfic entertainment genres. All that considered, though, romance, family feels (which is more specific to that one series,) light angst and fluff are not a bad representation of a lot of what I've done.

41. Link a fic that made you think, “Wow, I want to write like that.” Everything Pam @mygalfriday has ever written is phenomenal but I'll throw some love at this one which I still think of even though it is TEN YEARS OLD???? and I daresay it has not aged a day, it is spectacular. And all in war with Time for love of you

11. Are you partial to a certain character/pairing or are you more equal-opportunity? If you are partial to any character/pairing, why do you think that is?

Obviously 11, 12 and 8 are my top three- as well as my top three favorite Doctors generally, and I will not decide rankings between them, I can't do that to them 😂 And so far I've only written her with ones she's met in official material, whether the show or Big Finish so I at least have a little something to go on- with the exception of 13 who I wrote before she was even on TV lol. But I love her with all of them, it's so much fun pulling out the subtle differences in their dynamics as well as the overriding things that don't change at all. That's what makes this such a great ship- endless possibilities with matchups of different Doctors and different points in their timelines, but they are always fundamentally the same two people not so far beneath the surface.

We’ve done a variation of Hoppin’ John on New Years Day for a few years now. This year I remembered to add the black eyed peas to the grocery order this week but completely forgot to add any of the fresh ingredients. Still wanted to have black eyed peas and cornbread for dinner though so I used pantry staples. Think of it like the Southern American version of beans on toast.

Y’all it rocks (measurements below are estimates because I measured nothing)

Black Eyed Peas

1 small sweet onion, fine dice

2 tbsp butter

Heavy pinch salt

2 can black eyed peas, drained and rinsed

1 can diced tomatoes with basil

3 tsp Fat Cat Mexican style habanero hot sauce

2.5 tsp Worcestershire

1/4 cup dark brown sugar

2 tbsp 4Rivers bbq sauce

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp cumin

1/4 curry powder

1 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp celery flakes

Peel and finely dice the onion. Add it to a medium sauce pan/pot over low heat (2.8 on my stove) with butter and salt. Stir occasionally until the onion turns golden and starts to get jammy. Took about a half hour for me. Wander off for a minute or so, come back, stir and then pat into an even layer in pot. Repeat for what feels like forever. Use one of the wandering off bits to open the cans, and drain and rinse the beans.

Mix everything else in and simmer on medium low, occasionally stirring, for 20 minutes. The Fat Cat hot sauce was 3 short pours. Worcestershire sauce was 3 good shakes. BBQ sauce was 2 dollops. Celery flakes were a quick shake and then I had to scoop out half because it was too much.

Serve over cornbread. Cornbread was a pack of Martha White gluten free mix with 1 egg, half cup milk, and a tablespoon of vidalia peach hot sauce. Baked in a glass pan with melted butter in the bottom.
