It does make you wonder whether Amy wrote that into the Melody Malone books. A love interest who keeps dying in every book, but somehow comes back in the next one seems like the kind of side plot that would make a mystery novel quite interesting.

Rory never gets or got the credit he deserved, he was such a unique companion. He wasn’t enamored with the Doctor, he was just there for Amy. He grew as a self doubting nerd into a hero, way better than any that’s since followed.

I love this, thank you so so much. Amy and Rory are just fantastic and this is fantastic and it’s funny because I don’t think Arthur, Karen and Matt will know how much they’ve made all of us cry, yet all of us so incredibly happy :)

I love Rory. I just love him. His total devotion to Amy, his compassion, his lack of fear for the Doctor... He grew more than any character ever has in the show imo. He's just brilliant.
