Haha yeah they definitely are the love interests, but I felt like they became something more for a while. I'm kind of okay with Rory, at least, returning to love interestness because he really has been so ultimately focused on Amy for so long that no matter what he was always going to sideline himself in a way. Besides, the object is often a more interesting character to write fanfic for. I noticed that in my Harry Potter stuff as well - I hardly ever write from Harry or Amy's PoV (and definitely never the Doctor's) because it's more interesting to me to make the object the subject and see what motivates their objectness if that makes sense.
I endorse your Rory/River Bechdel test and I shall use it to entertain myself during the next season in hopes that it may perhaps come true.
Part of me wants MORE PONDS FOREVER (of course), but part of me also feels like the best (only) thing to do at this point is to just leave it and move on. Plus I don't think I can take another season of getting jerked around. Like, I am just scared at this point. Yes, this exactly!!! As soon as I realised they were coming back I was all 'wibble' because I just don't like being so emotionally attached and not knowing where they will end up. I liked their drop off last series and was almost :-( when they reappeared because I worried like hell what was going to be done to them.
