Awww, thank you *hugs* This one was a wee teeny bit stressful to write, but it needed to happen, I think :)

All the heartbreak! Oh, Rory's pain was so terrible here, just heart-wrenching ♥ And of course I particularly enjoyed the bit of character insight about always trying to be a nice person, and always having that to hold onto despite the sea of his insecurities ;) Also love the way you portrayed the terrible fall from almost-happiness into horror, Amy's graceful fall, with all the dramatic aesthetics from the finale, his handling her body so carefully, with all the details about how she was still warm but he couldn't pretend she was only unconscious no matter how much he might wish to, and his holding her and speaking to her, praying for a miracle. Except his miracle came in a rather random form. Love the confusion and frustration about the Doctor, too. XD It was really powerful! Well done ♥

Thank you very much. I found this one very difficult to write, but it really wasn't a moment I felt I could skip over. For someone like Rory, this would have been the very worst moment of his life :)

Indeed! Poor baby ♥
