Lovely! Just lovely! It's for little things like this (and what a perfect characterization you provided here) that Rory lives in my heart! Extra points for the wibbly-wobbly accuracy! ;D

Thank you so much! This is the first time I've really tried to focus on Rory, so I'm super glad you thought it was in character! *grins*

Rory is probably my favorite companion, ngl. (River notwithstanding, ofc) He's just wonderful and perfect and alkjwaerkwje. RORY.

Fantastic!

I love it that Rory tries so hard to keep everything straight, when there's just no chance. And I could really really hear his voice in all this.

And I do like that his baby girl is someone who grew up into someone he could secretly admire.

And I'd really love to see a story where Rory and River, father and daughter, sneakily team up together against the Doctor. After all, the one who likes to annoy him, and the one who likes to see him annoyed, have a lot more in common than just a way with weapons.

:D

I love that about him. He's just so 'go with the flow' about everything, even though you know it has to be extremely difficult for him, everything he's been through. I really hope the show explores a bit more of the father/daughter relationship before the Ponds depart. *fingers crossed*

I will take that as a prompt and file it for future writingness! That sounds like a blast. :D

Ah, my love for Rory just grows with this. I really do feel like you've captured his voice here and I love his thoughts on River and his not so subtle hints to the Doctor :P

Thank you so much! I've never really tried focusing on Rory before, so I'm relieved you thought it was in character! There are a lot of fics where Rory's all, (to paraphrase), "NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH!" to the Doctor, and that just never felt right to me, personally. *shrugs* But I do think he'd have an excellent time making him blush and freak out, lol. *squishes Rory* I love him so much.

That was amazing! I love how Rory slowly realises what has been going on right under his nose, and especially all the flirting, and the innuendos (and damn, River didn't stop and think that her parents were right beside her every time). But what I love the most is that he accepts it and doesn't really question it.

I loved this fic!

That is one of my favorite things about Rory. He adapts so well, even though you know it has to be traumatic and stressful for him; he focuses on taking care of Amy and helping others and alkwerjwlkjr. I LOVE HIM. And I think he'd be okay with the Doctor and River's relationship, honestly - I think he'd be a bit pissed that the Doctor, unintentionally, basically ruined her life, lol; but at the same time he knows what the Doctor means to River, and I don't think he'd ever say anything or try to take that away from her. 'Cause he's awesome. /blahs at you, lol

Thank you sweetie! *hugs*
