I'm still feeling like Clara saves everything and the Doctor saves Clara. She is getting saving the world lessons, after all. And she is a dying and resurrecting god (probably). And they keep mirroring her with the Doctor. And wouldn't it be a nice way to bring the Amy/Doctor parallel journeys full circle if he essentially does for Clara what Amy did for him in TBB? Ooooooo, remembering! He's supposed to remember. Run, and remember. If she gets all exploded, does he remember all the different pieces into existance? Also I can't help but notice that she's now died TWICE (whilst saving the day) - maybe what he is currently learning is to save *her*?
Though, also, River really wasn't happy about him wasting regeneration energy, which makes me wonder. Yeah, she didn't take that well. Also I wonder if we'll see more of the 'Don't let him see the damage' aspect...
But say the Doctor's name is revealed and the Time War is opened. Could Clara re-seal it? Presume that she is a relative. One of her names is "god's power." And if she is a relative, does she then have the Doctor's name? *snaps* A bit like Buffy being able to seal the rift that Dawn's blood opened because they have the same blood. And there would be a nice quasi-karmic thing, there: for the Time War to stay sealed, the Doctor must remain the Lonely God. If Clara exists, then he's not the Lonely God anymore, so her existence must be the cause of the time lock opening (hints that she will be the one to ask the question) and the price of closing it again would have to be her life. Yup, that all hangs together. I'm guessing River will be pivotal in some way too. After all, he *trusts* her, and I'm not sure he trusts Clara.
Mmmmm, in Rings of Akhaten, she objects to running away when Grandfather begins waking up because "I caused this." She was the one who encouraged Merry to perform. Nice catch. She's not as volatile as Amy, but she very much believes in seeing out the consequences of things. This is good. No running away.
And then if Clara got sealed into the time lock, could the Doctor recall her out of it? The mechanics of that sound an awful lot like TBB--the Doctor did say that the cracks couldn't seal all the way without him on the other side, and yet Amy was able to recreate him out of her memories. Aaaaand, now I'm suddenly writing crack!fic in my head wherein the Doctor remembers the Master back into the universe...
Somehow Clara will have to be scattered and/or reconstituted (quite possibly both?). River will do something. Music will be involved, somehow. And magic sparkles. Yes, yes, yes and yes. :)
