The Edge of Time

by queer_cheer

Using a vortex manipulator to transport into a TARDIS, also traveling through the vortex, was a bit like hitting a bullet with a smaller bullet, if both bullets were traveling ten times the speed of light and you couldn’t see your gun. Piece of cake, thought River. If the cake was poisoned and filled with acid or maggots or lava or something. It was all about perspective.
 
With the Doctor stranded in a bubble universe on the edge of time, the Watcher has bitten off more than he can chew: reality has collapsed, and from the rubble emerged a new history — one in which the Daleks won the Time War and have conquered half the universe. But River Song is on the case, along with an unlikely group of temporal anomalies who have memories of the old world, and together, they have to save the Doctor and set reality back on track before it's too late — before everything and everyone they've ever known is gone forever.

*This is the final bit of the Adventure of River Song series, and it might not make the most sense unless you've read at least the epilogues of the prior three fics in the series!*
