This was really wonderful insight, I love the way you delved into Rory's mind and emotions at such a key moment of the Ponds' relationship. It was all spot-on and very interesting-his train of thought was nicely depicted, first with how bizarre and disturbing the whole adventure had been, how he still felt rather lost at first and felt like he still couldn't quite tell reality from dream, in a way that, once more, left him a bit disconnected from Amy and the Doctor, not quite managing to adjust. But then he realized the true implications of the day's events when it came to him and Amy (with a bit of help from the Doctor… ;)), and that epiphany just blew him away. I really loved the amount of detail you put into Amy's mannerisms and body language, showing just how well Rory knew her and could read her, how very attentive he was-that's really like him :) The insight about their two personalities was great, with Rory's insecurities about Amy's feelings, but the fact that it was Amy's insecurities that made communication such a problem,

Wow, what an amazing comment. Thank you :) I think it shows just a teeny bit that Amy's Choice is one of my favourite episodes :) I am endlessly fascinated by this relationship and how they work together, and this episode is such a great well for it :)
As for 'subsumed' - I think I should have said 'subsumed into' rather than 'subsumed by' because that would make better sense -- his fears and need for reassurance become a small part of the greater whole of her fear and need for reassurance. 'Subdued' isn't quite what I mean either. I wanted something to suggest that what he feels becomes subordinate to what she feels. Not sure on this one. Hmmmm ....
No, I actually think you're right -- it's not quite the word I was looking for, but neither is 'subdued'. Language -- never quite what we want it to be! :)

And okay-that might very well make sense, I just couldn't find the word and I'm not a native so I occasionally get confused ;) Sorry!
