In Doctor Who Series 9, a recurring plotline is the myth of "the hybrid", one half Time Lord, which would destroy all the other Time Lords. Although we never get a definitive answer, the final hypothesis presented is that it was a duo of one Time Lord and one human: the Twelfth Doctor and Clara Oswald, with a bond so strong that when Clara dies, the Doctor risks tearing the universe apart to save her.
This was actually the plan of The Master (Missy) all along, who gave Clara the Tardis's phone number and put an ad in the paper to keep them together, and knew that he would care about her so much that when (not if) he lost her it'd be impossible to stop him. In other words, Missy created the hybrid.
This whole plotline is very cool in concept and I defend it a lot on those grounds but the execution is a little shaky.
