FIC: What Came After Petrichor

[eblackwell]

Summary: Amy’s perfume company created a new fragrance and the Doctor couldn’t miss the mane of golden curls in the ad. The woman they belonged to is gorgeous, bold, his. Actually, he belonged to her, the one everyone in the shop either wants to be or to be with

“Two women in silhouette walked towards the camera. No one could mistake the figure on the left as anyone but River, not with that hair, and he knew from experience the other woman was Amy. Their walks spoke of a woman’s commanding presence, all feminine with a sway in the hips and all strength with strides that owned the ground they walked on.”

That is an utterly AWESOME description! I love it to death! I can see that perfectly clearly. It’s like the show did put up a commercial like that. (Actually, I’m surprised they didn’t, it would have dragged new viewers in by the boatload.)

“a woman’s commanding presence, all feminine with a sway in the hips and all strength with strides that owned the ground they walked on.”

Yes! That’s exactly it.

Damn I wish I’d thought of this.

“The Doctor could see how River moved like her mother because of that unmistakable, glorious Pond in them,”

Yes. You know, I knew that, but I never really thought about it. Amy and River have completely different body types, but they do move the same, I can certainly see how that would come out in the video with them strutting side by side, in synch. I’d love to see that.

“They came into the light with no smiles but matching looks that dared anyone to just try it. “

Oh yes. God I’d love to see this.

“As they reached the end of their walk, they turned to each other while still looking at the camera. The Amazon logo came up between them and repeated the tagline, For the woman who shows no mercy. “

Man, they need to film this! This is so perfect!

“Melody Lake.”

LOL! I love it.

ROFL! I love that you used the beetle money! That’s one of my favorites. (And, yes, we need Ace in that commercial too!)

“new bowtie. Something for River to undo after she put the perfume down “

LOL! Yes.

“The atavistic feeling and the power of a Time Lord showed in his stance as he strode to the men’s department.”

LMAO, yes. I love how that sentence is both powerful, and so pathetically dorky and domestic at the same moment. Perfect fit.

I think this is now officially one of my all time favorite fanfics. So much thank you for this. Definitely keeping it.

Thank you so much!

WOW! I can't find the right words to say how happy this review made me! You took the time to give these details and said such extraordinary things!

I wish the show did a commercial with Amy and River side by in a silhouette, slow motion walk. You're right; I would have watched the commercial a dozen times alone let alone holding my breath for the episode. It' would have been like Karen Gillan said about the relationship: the Pond girls united. I've wanted a slow motion walk with the two of them -- if not all three Ponds -- forever; I'm such a fangirl. :-)

Wasn't the beetle money such perfect Doctor? I adore Seven and that episode was just amazing all the way around.

Really, thank you for everything you said. You made my day!
