First of all: gallimaufry

I LEARNED A NEW WORD TODAY! And to me, this is always very, very exciting. Also: IT SOUNDS LIKE GALLIFREY. Best word ever!

Okay moving on:

This is gorgeous. I love the concept, and you've written them SO strongly. The ending is lovely without being heavy-handed, and the whole thing is just... sad without being overwrought. You've really found balance, here. And the Pond on a pond joke will never not be funny.

Thank you sooo much for liking this fic and for your comments. ♥ I truly appreciate it!

As for gallimaufry, well, thank Catey for critiquing the original phrase used in that paragraph which was way too complicated and long-winded and awkward, so I substituted it with 'gallimaufry'! I've been looking for a chance to use that word in a fic for ever so long. I had the same reaction when I first saw the word a while back: IT SOUNDS LIKE GALLIFREY! :D

Awww, this was so *sniffle* -- such understated sadness for both of them! And the repetition of things that Rory has said is so well done. His presence is enormous even though he never appears.

But through it all is the lovely humour, like the running Rio joke and the silly Pond on a pond that Amy objects to.

It was all just lovely.

Awww thanks! I'm glad you could 'feel' Rory in the story even though he is not actually mentioned; that was what I wanted a reader to bring away from it! :)

Oh, so well done! You did a great job writing the Doctor, managing to capture his unique blend of absurdity and compassion. I don't know why, but the idea of Amy and the Doctor ice skating and then having hot cocoa just makes my heart smile. I want more awww! moments like this in the show.

All in all, sweet and funny and sad!

I love this! Even though this an Amy/Rory story, I was totally squeeing over Eleven and Amy. Pond on a pond. :) It must be annoying to have a last name like that.

I love stories like this, where Amy can't remember Rory. They're so sad but so perfectly heartbreaking. <3

Awww thanks for loving this! ♥

'Pond on a pond' is such a great gag, I couldn't resist. :)
