Is it weird to say that this fic kind of broke my heart? I mean, it's funny and adorable and *perfect*, but there was an underlying melancholy. Which is appropriate, because the Ponds have been through quite a lot! Child narrators are always poignant because there's a gap between what they understand of the adult world and what we know, and you really felt that here.

I was so happy to see Aurora again! And Canton and his partner. <3. Plus Alfie/Stormageddon! And Donna! But then you went and broke my heart again with her. See what you did there?

I loved the little exchange between Aurora and the Doctor about his age. And it's good to see some psychological fallout from River after her abduction and brainwashing. Well, not good, but you know what I mean. And I loved that Aurora is a feisty little girl who punches people in the face; takes after both her parents there. But then the end! My tears, let me show you them.

It kind of broke my heart by the end, so no, that is not in any way weird. I tried to write happy family vignettes! This is what happened! D: D: D: ARG. The bits with Donna, the tears. I don't even know what my brain is.

I WILL REVISIT THIS UNIVERSE. AND IT WILL BE HAPPIER. I SWEAR. Ponds♥

LOVE THIS SO MUCH THERE ARE NO WORDS!

Also, Aurora Pond is the most perfect of names (and I'm totally not biased because I wanted to name my first daughter Aurora for several years). She could be nicknamed Rory!

:D :D :D

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Ponds! Ponds! A whole family of Ponds! (And the Rory thing did not even occur to me until the other day when, in the middle of WalMart, I stopped walking, clapped my hand to my forehead, and said, "RORY." Oh fandom. What have you done to me?)

♥!!
