Friday Meme Light: Cause It's A Bittersweet Victory (Ten Years Later Thread)
The clock continues to turn on the ship.
The last years have been of turbulence, surprises and great fights, but eventually, five years ago, the Ohm were defeated and slowly, peace was restored to the entire multiverse. The crisis was averted! Congratulations!
...However rebuilding universes takes time. Energy. Power. It still might be years off before you'll get to go home, and Stacy is truly saddened about that. Call it catch 22 if you will, but at least the life on the ship is a lot more peaceful now. The farms have grown, and now there's enough in-house grown food to feed everyone who doesn't feel like eating slop or eating slop in the sensoriums every day. That's a small comfort, right? Oh sure, there's still the surprise or two on it, but now there's slowly more places to stop, and Stacy has been a lot more lenient about people getting their shots...
As they sometimes say, life will find a way to flourish, anywhere it can. My, there's a lot more bellies around the ship than before...
And maybe. One day. Far off future. You'll get to go home. But that's not now.
Ten years is a lot of time for people to grow, personalities to change and emotions to emerge. How have your characters turned out of it?

River Song
How time flies when you're fighting a never ending war.
Very little had changed for River Song. If anything, her life had settled back on the track it she should have had in the first place. A linear relationship with the Doctor. It hadn't taken very long for her secrets to be revealed. Her status as a human equivalent of a Time Lady. Her sacrifice of all her regenerations to save the Doctor's life. Everything came out in the end.
Like most people who had been on Stacy for the long haul, River had settled down
againand had a family. One curly haired little girl who had her mother's penchant for getting into trouble and drove her grandfather up a wall just keeping her from wasting away her regenerations with her crazy stunts. The apple of her father's eye and River Song's darling little girl.
