*grins* Why hello you! Haha, your comment was partly the reason I waited until de-anoning to start my responses—I wanted to be just as flaily and natural and myself as I wanted, without worrying about giving myself away ;) SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE GORGEOUS COMMENT. Gosh, you just stated perfectly everything I wanted to convey, and so beautifully too. The angst, but restrained—and the sharing it, finding some balance together somehow, some relief and hope. Your liking the writing and insight ♥ Eleven and River standing in the background—at first I thought I'd focus my entry on those two because OTP and it seemed obvious, but then I realized I much preferred centering on the Ponds and would actually be more inspired for that… (OTP's are too wide for me. They inhabit my head every hour of every day, it's hell pinning any scene on paper and making it stop shifting around.) Then I really had to keep Eleven in the shadows, because he's so huge in their lives and this was really to be about River with Rory, and with Amy—no other person, no adventure, no distractions, just two hearts. And space to grieve, indeed. You just got it all =D I think River should be uneasy, in such a situation at least, in adventures once more she can put up her act and own the stage, here there's nothing to hide behind. It's feelings and making her way to her parents and letting them in in return, necessarily. It kills me how the show makes River flippant around Rory. The playful calling him Dad, making it sound kind of like a joke, but with no other intimacy to ease the teasing. Amy and River had the wine scene, the "Why did you lie to him?"—quiet, strong moments. Rory and River had beautiful scenes BEFORE he knew who she was, and then nothing anymore, but instead of River being even remotely gentle or tentative around him, she was all cool and smug and "hello, Dad"-ish? Kill me. *forever wanting Rory and River talks and silences and understanding and special-ness* Complicated and tragic is my drug ♥ I think we share that, hahaha. And I had a blast with River's own frazzledness and making her unsure of her own identity just as she was attempting to reach out. River fragility is the best thing. I love her. ♥ Oh god, your favourite lines are favourites of mine, too =D ♥♥♥ Love you!
