Yeah, it would be kind of weird, but at the same time, they can sort of develop a deeper connection over how much they miss her. River, obviously, because she's away from her mother, and the Doctor, because she was the first companion to see him and fully know him and understand him in his new regeneration, and because he truly loved her and wanted to see her safe and happy.

AGREED SO MUCH. I'm definitely picking up my Moulin Rouge/Doctor Who fic that I started months ago (seriously. fuck RL and work and ugh. I need to write fic so badly it hurts.) But. It still. I can't. My heart. It hurts. She has to come back. This can't be the definite end of them.

We are writers. We are entitled to make up our own fantastical new words and phrases. For example: spacey wacey technical terms :D
