There was a lot of this that just made me snicker into my popsicle, such as

"That was the worst line I’ve ever heard. And I’ve had a Raxacoricofallapatorian try to pick me up." (which needs to be a fic all its own), and

"I’m only comfortable in the bow tie." (because we all know where everyone's mind just went). But then there was

He’s got a 900-year-old Time Lord cuddling up to him like a little boy afraid of the dark, and I thought I might want to cry a little, because that's the Doctor exactly.

Aah, poor Rory. I hope he's an appropriately awful patient for them. XD

I agree! I think Eleven has such a little boy-ishness about him, but he's still the Doctor with his knowledge and his past and his demons.

I'm glad the humor worked for you. And yes, Rory should be difficult for them, but somehow I see him as a good patient. ;) Though he does have hidden depths, our Rory...hmm...

Thank you for commenting!

oh this is just lovely! I love Rory, Nurse Rory, and your insight into him is beautiful and charming. Such a beautiful, cuddly, little fic.

I just want to snuggle everyone, especially the helpful Tardis. Very cool. Very cool indeed.

Hey, you. *snugs*

[oparu]

hello stranger, fancy meeting you here. :)

[trialia]

hehe. indeed :)

Oh, this is awesome. :) Your Rory voice is dead on perfect, and you've captured the Doctor and the TARDIS equally well. I loved (I always love) Rory's calm in the middle of crisis, and the way he can cope with anything. Then end made me crack up.

I caught a few typos -- couching instead of coughing, trey instead of tray -- but otherwise, this is brilliant. Very well done!

[philote_auctor]

Thank you for catching the typos; I've fixed them now. And thank you very much for reading and commenting! :)

awwwwwwwww! This is utterly adorable and hilarious and brilliant. I love Rory being all care-givery and the TARDIS being helpful when he doesn't know what to do with the Doctor. Of course the Doctor would be a stubborn patient, but his semi-delirious conversations were everything from funny and cute to touching.

I want to quote bits, but there were so many lines that made me laugh I'd be here all day! Okay, maybe just one quote...

The Doctor squints at the ceiling. “Are there pterodactyls in here?”
And Rory actually follows his gaze to check, because you never know when it comes to the Doctor. “No, no pterodactyls. You’re safe.”
“Pity,” the Doctor murmurs as Rory looks him over, contemplating his options. “Pterodactyls are cool.”

This bit made me giggle so much. I can just picture it!

Yey for group snuggles at the end. Although poor Rory...

[philote_auctor]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked the pterodactyls, that was a last minute addition and one of my favorite bits as well. Poor Rory, yes, but he does have the Doctor and Amy to take care of him. I'm sure that would be...interesting. :)

Thanks for commenting!
