it's the freakiest show, is there life on mars.

Guysguysguys. Right now, go read Handlebars by orange_crushed . It is brilliant and amazing, all about Amy and Rory and the Doctor.

She is twelve years old, almost thirteen, and she is standing on top of the garden shed in an old blanket. It isn't a blanket, and it is. It's a toga. Never mind the flowers. She's about to be sacrificed to the gods of the volcano, represented here by a sandbox dragged underneath the awning. She closes her eyes and imagines the smoke and ash floating in the air around her, the low sound of chanting, the jingle of gold chains. She's tied her own hands together awkwardly with a handkerchief and her wrists are sweaty where they're rubbing together.

I mean, I love Amy, I really do, and I think Karen Gillan is an amazing and quirky actress and I'm totally charmed. But some things about her have left me a bit mystified- like you commented in your post (that I am totes going to go comment on... am bad about commenting but I really loved reading your China posts, btw) it seemed a bit implausible that she married Rory, got preggers, but she can still say that she never told him she loved him? And just, some of her choices? But this ep was quite solid, and this fic explored so much of what wanted refining, so I just have epic love for it.
