There are River Song/Laura Roslin prompts on the Porn Battle. I am so tempted.
The thing with me and the first/last meeting is that I love it as a story, but I hate it for the characters. You know what I mean? Like, I think if Moff actually pulls off a bit where she kills him - no matter that I think it unlikely - it will be an absolutely brilliant piece of circularity. But I can't divorce my appreciation for the storytelling from my desire to smoosh River and Eleven together and be all MAKE OUT AND LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER GUYS.
Too, I was trying to work it out in fic and failing, but it really bugs me that her last meeting with him isn't when he's him at all. Possibly some of it is tied into the fact that she is in so many ways his equal in knowledge and power, and yet he's always holding this ultimate knowledge over her in a way that almost negates everything else? I don't know. *handwavey* I think when/if/when we get to see them being more intimate and properly trusting, I'll probably feel better about it. *g*
And, okay, I like that explanation for Eleven running away. It does make more sense in the context of the episode, too, now that I think about it. I think I was so annoyed at him that I didn't see this possibility. Hmm.
I'm really enjoying the amount of River meta-squee on your journal. Mind if I friend?
