I don't really ship Doctor/River, although the head writer and showrunner apparently does, so it looks like we'll be getting it whether we want it or not... I just think that if the Doctor was looking for a human to shack up with, she's plausibly his "type", whatever that means... ;D
Regarding Time Lords/Humans my fanon is that back in the old days, when Rassilon was young and the Time Lords didn't have their laws banning interference with the "lesser" species, they did an awful lot of pretending to be gods on various planets, maybe Earth too... And like real oldschool gods like the gods of Olympus or Asgard or wherever, getting up close and personal with humans was part of that...
Except the Time Lords don't talk about any of that any more. They'd like to pretend it never happened...
I have new fanon on the Master and Time Lord sexual mores after watching EoT; In Part 1 he mentions his father's estates - now how do we reconcile that with our my beloved LOOMS? Well, I'm thinking that the Master's father was some sort of high-ranking Time Lord - a Councillor, perhaps, or one of the leading academicians at the Academy - and he...well, had what the Time Lords would consider to be a moral lapse and got some Time Lady/one of his students/one of the Shobogan servants pregnant... Which is not only scandalous but kind of icky according to the mores of Time Lord society as I imagine it, where "our sort of people" use LOOMS to reproduce. So, the kid got sent off to virtual exile on some plot of land in Outer Gallifrey that his dad happened to own, well away from the Citadel where people might see him and rumble his dad's dirty secret... No wonder he grew up maladjusted...
And yes, I have no evidence for any of that whatsoever. ;D
And yes, just a mention of Romana would be nice...
