This is just lovely. I've been arguing about how River is like Rose/Bad Wolf, incredibly young still (I mean, really, surem she's in her 40's-50's by that point atleast, but in her actual own life, free of the Silence manipulation and discovering who she is without it, she's still so young.) - and this is first love. The love that makes you and him the only things in the universe of possible importance. And you don't let that end, you don't let it die. OTP and all. (I also have made the Buffy/Angel comparisons - both women are passionatately in love and that love leaves to the end of the universe because they can't let their lover die.)

But I do love this meta more than that thought. They could work together too though?
