This was completely gorgeous, and I happen to agree with everything you wrote here. ♥
In this case, Lina Inverse had been known to shy away and deny any attraction she had toward her protector, but for once, instead of he protecting her, she protects him. Really, just how Doctor/River they are when it comes to protection like that, looping back into your analysis, would take ages to write. Sounds brilliant! (And I never even got round to comparing Doctor/River to Spike/Buffy... Oh the parallels. But yeah, the meta is INFINITE, no matter what direction you go in.)
I'm wondering, since Moffat has been working to deconstruct the Lonely God that RTD's Doctor had become if the answer to the question just isn't the Doctor's name, but that unlocks the Time Lock that the Time Lords are stuck in. It's a theory that's been bandied about, though I bet it would need to be said in a particular setting since River said the Doctor's name in SITL and the universe didn't go kablooey then. Oooooh. Interesting. I doubt that he'd bring the Timelords back... Although maybe some of them? Last we saw Romana she was stuck in E-Space (I think). There are certainly a LOT of possibilities to play with. (I still lean towards Omega. Just because he'd be such a nice fit. *g*)
Honestly, you're an inspiration here. I've been wanting to sketch out a longform Doctor/River adventure, but couldn't figure out where to start. I think I know now. Totally my pleasure, I know how wonderful that feeling is! :)
As I originally heard on Twitter and have adopted for series 6: "Everything's canon, and nothing hurts." Oh that's perfect! I might have to change my tag line... (HOW MUCH DO I LOVE MOFFAT? TOO MUCH FOR WORDS!)
