Title: Seventeen Things that Happened to Rory Williams, After
Author: scribe on AO3
Rating: Mature (themes, sex)
Length: 7682
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Rory, Eleven, Jack, Jeff
Genre/Category: time-travel, character study, canon deviation
Warnings: Major character death
Spoilers: Through DW 5.08
Summary: In which Amy dies and Rory, eventually, keeps going.
Why you should read it: The question is: how long can they go on being Amy's boys without Amy? Although this story deals with loss and grief, it is anything but a downer to read. The story gives us a Rory who slowly comes into his own as a Doctor's Companion -- someone who can give and receive in his own right, who can choose and guide their adventures, and who, in coming to terms with what he's lost, helps the Doctor to do the same. There are stray cats, babies, and ex-Companions (Jack Harkness in tighty whities, anyone?), a well-meaning TARDIS, and alien aphrodisiacs -- in short, the full range of Whovian adventure and absurdity. But as with all good listfics, each vignette takes us a little deeper into the characters and gives us new ways to feel with them. A must-read for all Rory fans, it's also an insightful take on how Eleven deals with mortality, and an interesting spin on the events of S5.
