Addendum to LKH meta.
I've changed my mind on one point.
So, the finale is called 'The Wedding of River Song'.
Well then.
a) The Doctor promised Mels to marry her, so technically he's already proposed, (plus, of course, there's their conversation at the end of TBB, so he's actually proposed twice!) and
b) "There's only one reason I would ever tell anyone my name. There's only one time I could..." What if it's all to do with getting married? The way she says 'Spoilers' when he brings up the subject doesn't seem to indicate 'I was there when you died', but something nice.
So. My initial thought when he whispered in River's ear was 'Tell her that I love her'. I'm going back to that, unless proven otherwise, since getting married would fulfill both 'could' and 'would'.
ETA: Here, have some caps:
And then he dies... And I think that watching him, with this message in her mind, she begins to understand that nothing exists in a vacuum. Killing the Doctor doesn't end with his death. Somewhere, out there, is a woman who has now lost the man she loves, and this obviously never occurred to Melody - the fact that actions have consequences reaching beyond the people closest to her. If the first chink in her armour comes when the Doctor refuses to give up and begs for her help (which she gives), then the second comes here. The third... is knowing that it's herself she has caused grief to.
I shall end with a final Buffy quote...
Love is pain, and the Slayer forges strength from pain. Love... give... forgive. Risk the pain, it is your nature. Love will bring you to your gift.

I HAVE BELIEVED THIS FROM DAY. ONE. THREE YEARS AGO. BACK IN THE LIBRARY. I liked her and I was totally way more excited for Rose, but I wasn't denying to myself this totally-seemingly-obvious-truth. And THIS is why I always thought him telling anyone his name had a deeply emotional, VERY SPECIAL connection to it, not "Oh you were there when I died." and that's why Ten was so visibly shocked. I totally remember being like "OMG it's wedding vows. It has to be." And I never changed my mind on that!
ILU for making this addendum. I really do. I DON'T FEEL SO ALONE IN THE WORLD NOW. XD

And then along comes Moffat, where hopes are not crushed and happy endings come true and I am very slowly beginning to think that MAYBE what I want is what I'll get...

Plus, I think River is his baby. And he's spent so much stinkin' time building all this up, and there's already so much hinted at established territory, he can't undo all of that. Besides, we already know how River ends, so there can't be any Doomsday repeats or something. So unless he pulls a major "TIME REWRITTEN!" card out of his sleeve, I'm fairly confident that these things are going to stay the same.
(Here's hoping I won't be EATING MY WORDS one of these days D: )
That's not to say I'm fully expecting a wedding in the finale, because I smile a little and look at that sideways, but if we get it I'll be flailing so hard I can't even ALKJFL:WDIURWERWEWRE. XD Just thinking about it makes me squeal lol!

Aw, thank you. *blushes*
So excited for the finale now that we know the title, but it will be hard to top TPO/TBB, which is on my top 5 finale list, along with Becoming I&II, Lost season 3 and season 6 finales, and Chosen.
Mmmm. This is why I don't make lists!

I know! It's like a miracle every time! \o/

Oh so much word. Plus, like I said elsewhere, she a plot generator. No way is he going to throw his best toy out of the pram!

Ditto ditto DITTO! *FLAILS* Although if it does happen I expect it'll be like... an accident, or they HAVE to for some reason. Not all white dresses and flowers and the whole typical shebang. It'll be very Doctor Who style, lol!
Still, trying not to hope too hard. ;D

Oh absolutely! *prays a lot*

I thought her change of heart was a smidgen too quick, but looking at it like this, it's rather lovely, so -- thank you, I'm now watching that scene differently!
And, er, I came here via the pingback bot and your tags, I think.

:) You might also want to check out this post (so many thoughts, so many parallels...) Mostly though, then yes, I think she does it 'for herself'.

Ah yes, it would be, since that's the one where I linked to your fic (perfect fic!). (I've written that much meta over the last few weeks it's all blending together...)
And awesome icon is awesome!

This makes me happy. Er, the amount, I mean (yay moar meta!), not that it's blending together.

And the meta is all self-inflicted. Am glad it's proving to be a good thing for others. :)
