DW Fic: Despatches from the Rear

Title: Despatches from the Rear
Author: kaffy_r 
Characters: Brian Williams, Gus Pond, Tabetha Pond, River Song
Rating: PG
Edited by: my beloved dr_whuh, aka buckaroobob , with invaluable help from a_phoenixdragon 
Summary: Brian Williams didn't mind getting older. He did mind losing people he loved. A story of what might happen after.
Author's Note: I find myself returning again and again to the fallout from The Angels Take Manhattan - and, because I have never quite reconciled myself to that ending for The Family Pond, writing things that might or might not be fixits. While the timing in this story is such that it simply doesn't jibe with the events in Ports of Call, it posits much the same potential outcome. 
Disclaimer: As much as I wish it were otherwise, no Whoniverse characters are mine. They belong solely to the BBC and their respective creators. I intend no copyright infringement and take no coin. I do, however love them all and thank the BBC for letting me play in its sandbox.
