Having Tam Lin feelings about Amy and Rory again, send help

I just - she loves him so fiercely and stubbornly that she remembers him back into the universe, and then is prepared to love him until he's human again (hold me fast and fear me not); she tears apart time for him; she's ready to do battle for him against creatures that want to take him ( Read more... )

There's "Psycho" . . . "A boy's best friend is his mother." ;-)

Always love your take on Amy and Rory.

Thanks!

And hee - I think the book I was looking at mentioned Psycho: the author felt like she was actually really close friends with her son, but couldn't say that without getting weird looks, even though she * could* have said that if she'd been talking about a daughter.

Can't send help now the idea is now rooted in my brain as well *smile*. I'm in the middle of reading Pamela Dean's book for the umpteenth time at the moment. Amy saves both her "boys" in much the same way not using guns like Rose.

O I forbid you, a'
That wear gowd on your hair,
To come or gae by the TARDIS,
For the young Doctor is there.

According to Dean Janet's baby is a key factor in saving Tam Lin (not specifically in the ballad). Amy's Melody saves both Rory and Amy.

Hee!

I hadn't thought about Melody's place in all this - interesting!
