This is so beautiful, and glorious, and wonderful, and funny - What To Expect When You’re Expecting A Fortysomething Femme Fatale Badass Who Clearly Didn’t Get her Hair From Either Of Us?” - made me cackle. The Ponds are gloriously fucked up, in their way, and at the same time they so entirely aren't, and this fic is just - it's perfect. Genuinely perfect.

I don't even know what life is anymore. Seriously. I almost started crying like five times; and it was lines that I don't know why I would cry but I wanted to. And oh God Amy, who's just so dazed and where's my baby, where's my baby that it hurts, oh my lord it hurts, even for the reader.
This was just wonderful and skewed and shows all the emotions so beautifully. How does one go back to the kettle and the hospital when somewhere out there is a daughter that is yours but never really?
And where's my baby where's my baby.
Really. Just stunning.
“How do you turn a baby into a weapon?” Rory says, like he doesn’t want to but the words just fight their way out.
Really, that was just a perfect line because Rory, for all our fangirling is just the perfect Earth Human, who won't can't shouldn't look beyond, and can't won't will never fathom things that the rest of the universe will think and do. And you just capture it so well. Like he doesn't even understand how the words he's saying could be connected, but he knows they are and he just

I don't even know what to say; what a beautiful comment! ♥ I am so touched that you were so moved by this. Thank you so much!

This is beautiful and perfect and everything that was missing that needed to be in the show but wasn't. Now it doesn't matter whether it is or not (well, it matter less) because you wrote it and it's wonderful.

Awwwwwww, thank you! ♥

Ah well. You know what. Okay. I just. There is no part of this that isn't perfect. And its about Amy and River and Rory and the Ponds! Thinking Big! And Mels popping in and out! Then the parts where there is nothing about River that is hers I'm just going flail about now because, oh bbs.

I have so many feelings about Amy these days its overwhelming and this brings about more feelings!

“What you are going to be,” she murmurs (Rory twitches in bed next to her; above her, the ceiling stays shut), “is very, very brave.”

Oh, Amy.

[dollsome]

Awwww, thank you so much! <3 I, too, have ALL THE AMY FEELINGS. I hope the show does her justice.
