one of my favourite things about amy and rory's relationship is that you can tell that they grew up together, that they were childhood best friends first, before they fell in love. i just love the signs of that that we get to see

[phoenixspirits]

Rory doesn't regret the life the weeping angels gave them, not really. He regrets that they lost their family. That River and his father would be alone. He regrets the way that they left the Doctor----- but they had all known it was coming. The last goodbye. It had to, eventually.

Rory wonders if the Doctor would have continued popping around for Christmas Dinner if they'd been able to stay in the twenty-first century. He doubts it, somehow.

He shakes his head fondly at the Doctor's answer, smile curling upwards. Somehow the words comfort him, that this grey-haired scotsman is the Doctor he knew and loved for so long, a best friend who could never be replaced.

"It's good to see you, even if you probably didn't even mean to come here aaaand it probably means we're all in mortal danger again."

As if they haven't been getting themselves into plenty of danger WITHOUT the Doctor.

"Come on," he adds, "no doubt Amy's already found the trouble, and if you don't wait to say hello to her, I'm the one who'll suffer."

@phoenixspirits liked my rock'n'roll starter call [open] current lyrics: Still Breathing - Green Day

The Doctor loved Rory - Rory was his family. Yet, whenever he saw his friend's face, it reminded him of the pain he had felt in Manhattan. Rory had died and returned so many times, and the Doctor had hoped beyond hope that he and Amy would also come back. However, they never did, and he regretted his actions that day deeply. He still blamed himself for their loss, to the extent that he couldn't bear to risk breaking his own rules just to see them, even though he knew he should.

But the universe had different plans; it found a way to reunite them under different circumstances. Despite the Doctor's claims to understand the rules of time and space, every year of his life was another lesson in the way existence sometimes didn't make sense.

So when Rory asked where he had been all these years, his answer was simple and oh so Doctor-y:

"I've been running all my life. Making my way away."

anyone want a starter from my roman rory AU? (in which rory is an actual roman soldier who meets amy and the doctor in 102AD and starts travelling with them after the whole pandorica/big bang issue is resolved?)

“I’m Professor River Song.”

“You took your name from the Time Lord’s wife?”

“One problem with being a living legend. No one ever believes it’s really you.”

prof. song. independent & private portrayal of dr. river song from bbc's doctor who. written by doretha (she/her, 21+).

rory's lips twitch upwards, a little surprised and a little sheepish. mels says things like that; but usually more teasing than compliment, more matter of fact. jo seems entirely earnest. he could never be embarrassed about loving amy; it's more the COMPLIMENT that makes him flush.

"that's---- that's really nice of you. i---" he's not really sure what he's supposed to say in reply to that. thank you? "i got lucky. amy and i've known each other since we were kids. she first met the doctor when she was eight, you know. he crashed in her garden."

@phoenixspirits ( 𝐫𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐦𝐬 ) liked for a starter.

“ i’m sorry, i didn’t mean to laugh – ” it’s a sweet, melodious giggle that escapes her lips rather than a mocking sneer. chestnut eyes twinkle, jo’s heart beating loud in her chest the more anecdotes the man from the future shares during their conversation. his own adventures in the tardis are thrilling to say the least, yet it’s the domestic life with amelia that truly seems to strike a chord within her.

“ the way you talk about your wife is just so endearing … i really, really hope to find someone like you when i eventually settle down. ”

@profsong liked for a roman rory AU starter

Rory's stood in front of a display of roman paraphernalia in a museum, a frown furrowing his brow. The twenty-first century ( and all the rest of them ) have felt like an incredible adventure so far. But seeing these broken fragments of his HOME on display makes it hit home just how far he's come.

There's a faraway look in his eyes, but as he speaks to the woman next to him, his question isn't about the artifacts, but something she'd said earlier. "If you study ancient history, but you can also move through time.... isn't that cheating?"

i have a headcanon that rory figured out, at somepoint before the river song/melody pond reveal, that the doctor has seen river die. it just seems like the kind of thing rory would figure out, being the observant guy he is

and he never talks about it or confirms it with the doctor but it's definitely something fun for rory to think about when they discover that river is their daughter

its too cold to stay up late writing :(

“And you had a nightmare about us. What happened to us in the nightmare?“

it's just after two when she wakes up, cheeks wet with tear and bed sheets tangled around her legs. beside her, the bed is cold. rory's still at work, stuck working the overnight. she tosses and turns on his side of the bed for what feels like a lifetime before finally caving and sending him a text.

sms: rory 💗: i love you. sms: rory 💗: pls bring home breakfast.

and then, leaving the phone on her pillow, amy drags herself in their shower. the water is cold, and she shivers underneath it until she can breathe easier, think clearer. when she turns to water off and steps out of the shower, rory's there, just stepped into the bathroom while amy wraps a towel around herself.

“And you had a nightmare about us. What happened to us in the nightmare?“ @phoenixspirits asks into the silence.

god, it feels like she's been having nightmares every single night since they've come back home. it's easier to avoid them when they're traveling with the doctor, easier to wake up next to rory and pretend that she's fine. it's when he isn't within easy reach, within her line of sight, that amy can't breathe. the panic presses against her, and there is no place to escape.

cold showers help, but rory, having him close, eases all of it.

"nothing, shut up." she's quick to answer, but steps into his orbit anyway. his arms around her are a comfort, and she anchors herself to him. rory can't know that she's worse when he isn't here. amy will always worry that if rory finds out, he'll work less shifts and he's such a good nurse, and he's works so hard. she doesn't want him to worry about her and feel like he has to stay home with him.

"i couldn't save you," she says into his shirt, her voice a whisper. she keeps her eyes closed. if they're closed, she's not crying. "when we were on that pirate ship, and she took you. i couldn't save you." i never save you.

doctor who - amy's choice. accepting.

anyone want to plot with rory? 👀
