Here's my take on River Song timeline. It's been bugging me for awhile, but with Husbands of River Song out I just had to give it a go. Hope it will lead somewhere.
Spoilers for everything.
No beta, sorry for mistakes that will occur and will be stupid as non-native speaker would make.
All the planets were the same while she hunted her prey, elusive Doctor. Just means to an end, end which will bring the destruction of the one vile creature that brought pain and suffering to the universe. He was the black hole in which all light disappeared, or that was what she was told. But in any other case she didn't care enough to check. She was created to kill the Doctor, and by all the might she had she will achieve it. But now she had more pressing matter to attend to, her parents. She had to find them. Not because she was a sentimental fool. She was never that, but because they will lead her to him. The man they loved more than her. And they will bring destruction to him. She found it to be soothing revenge for their failure in keeping her safe.
She wasn't denied the truth about her origin, or the ways she was stolen from them. But they managed to save themselves on her account. She was left behind so they could run around carelessly, not thinking of her at all.
When she found them, in her childish new body she procured for herself in New York? That became all the more transparent. They were children then but she could see that careless detachment in them, the way they cared only for each other. She played the third wheel between them and it was fun to make them run for her. And did they run. Did they yelled at her, reprimanding her lack of fear and remorse. It was a fun game to play while she waited, and she had to wait for a very long time.
It was frustrating really how time moved slowly, how they didn't do anything interesting most of the time. They just sat around studying and talking.
She flee often enough to find some entertainment, she matured slow enough to be absent for chunks of time, and they expected of her to disappear. It was a small wonder really that they did accept her back every time. She half expected of them to become tired of her, like she was tired of them playing around each other pretending they don't care. It was childish really and she was in a hurry to be born. Stupid time didn't allow her to do anything before that event. She would erase herself and all her actions, and she didn't want to be erased.
She didn't fear death, she teased it often enough, but she did fear disappearance. Like absence of her scared her sometimes. When her young mom would look at her not knowing how they were linked through time. When she would speak her name Melody, like she wasn't the one that gave it to her, the only thing she gave her. That were the times she would rush to the mirror and stared at her young face. It wasn't first face she wore till now. Few of them were burn on her training. First one was an accident, till then her tutors didn't know she could do that, sparkle and get back new. After that they tested her, maybe they tried to make her fearless against the death. They surely did achieve that. She praised moments when death would come near and she would escape. The times she didn't escape were fine too. She liked the gambling that change brought with it.
She wasn't too attached to this face. She was willing to shoot that reflection just to see what will come in next, but she couldn't do that, not before she would make her parents suffer while their Doctor disappears before their eyes.
His execution was too good not to share with them. It was perfect in every way. Simple and efficient. He won't ever see it coming. It was a sweet weapon she found in her training with the Time Agency. Those were the sweet times, they still fear before her there. Lipstick was always ready in her pocket. She burned with desire to use it. To kiss her enemy and kill him with the kiss was so right in every way. She dreamt about that moment when their lips will meet to end him.
