Fanfiction: A Simple Song for Amy
Title: A Simple Song for Amy
Author: bendingwind
Notes: [Doctor Who | K/G | 200 words]
Characters: River/Eleven, River, Eleven, Amy, Rory
Summary: prompt by grlgoddess for the spoiler_song ficathon, River + Amelia, Comforting her after being abandoned by the Doctor, in a somewhat roundabout way. Double drabble.
It was the simple things that saved Amelia’s hope. The miniature police box that appeared under her bed the day after a boy stomped her paper time machine. A doll, custom made and dressed and oh-so-beautiful before her third psychiatrist told her aunt to take it away. It reappeared in her toy chest a second time, but when her aunt took it away again she whispered that she didn’t want it to come back. It never did. The way when she closed her eyes, she could almost feel a cool hand on her forehead and hear a soft voice whispering, Hush, now, you know it’s all real. Someday he’ll come back and you’ll see. We’re the same, you and I… always waiting for him, aren’t we?
It was the teacher-one she’d never seen before, and one she never saw again-that told a little boy named Rory to come over and play with her, and so is responsible for her first friend. It was the feeling that someone was always watching over her, protecting her, that kept her believing. Someday her raggedy Doctor would come back, because he hadn’t forgotten her-he’d sent someone to protect her, hadn’t he?
A/N: I apologize, because I realize this isn't my best work. I got home after a seven-hour shift of doom (you know, one of those days) and I didn't want to write at all, but I still wanted to contribute something to the ficathon today. This seemed like a very calming prompt. I hope you enjoy it at least a little. :)
ETA: I should mention that I'm also running on five hours of sleep, which apparently was enough to make me forget a cut, and quite possibly means that this fic is even worse than I think it is.
