This is beautifully done, with a great deal of emotional acuity. You make baby Melody's memories completely believable, you make the tool of her being able to remember a completely valid story hook, and ... and this brought tears to my eyes, because it has everyone I love in it: the Doctor, Amy, Rory, River and the TARDIS. Thank you so much for writing this!

Wow! Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

I am trying desperately not to cry - and very nearly failing! What a beautiful piece of writing, and what a perfect "missing scene" to take on! Lord, I love these sort of fics. You've written both River and the Doctor so very well. Thank you for sharing this with us!

I'm ready to cry over what you said! THANK YOU!! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it so much!

What a brilliantly written moment. The way the Doctor choses to prompt River's memory, to do this for both of them, the way they tenderly share this, yet she cannot resist flirting and flirt-mocking him all the while, and then your wonderful description of Baby Melody's perception, feelings and most of all her love for the four most important beings in her life - her parents, the Doctor and the TARDIS. Until you tie it all into a bow by having the Doctor give River the clear instruction on how to guard this until the events of Demon's Run played out... This is a beautiful and superb story, I'm so grateful you shared it. Thank you.

Ooh, this is fascinating! Love the several versions of River and Eleven still not knowing himself fully, and baby Melody's perspective has to be totally unique! And Golden-Blue Mummy! <3
