river song appreciation week: Day 5 | May 29: Favorite Theme – Mirroring Rory
Fibbing: “This won’t hurt a bit.” ↰ ↳ “I lied.” Insecurity: “But who ever said he loved me back?” ↰ ↳ “Amy, basic fact of our relationship is that I love you more than you love me.” Notable Warriors: “I’m River Song, check your records again.” ↰ ↳ “Do I have to repeat the question.” The Doctor’s Reality Check: “This was exactly you. All this. All of it. You make them so afraid. When you began, all those years ago, sailing off to see the universe, did you ever think you'd become this? The man who can turn an army around at the mention of his name. Doctor. The word for healer and wise man throughout the universe. We get that word from you, you know. But if you carry on the way you are, what might that word come to mean?” ↰ ↳ “You know what it's dangerous about you? It's not that you make people take risks, it's that you make them want to impress you. You make it so they don't want to let you down. You have no idea how dangerous you make people to themselves when you're around.” Death and devotion: “If you die here, it'll mean I've never met you.” ↰ ↳ “And anyway, what else is there? Dying of old age downstairs, never seeing you again?”

Coming Out (Mels & Amy & Rory)
Entry for @riversongweek | river song appreciation week:
day 6 | May 30: Favorite Dynamic
Rating: somewhere between Teen and mature, maybe, leaning towards teen
Genre: Fluff
Warnings/Topics: Homophobia (not active but undertones/implications, mainly the possibility of someone outing another person is discussed and someone mislabels another person, also someone decides to stay in the closet), swearing, wolf whistling, French kissing, alcohol consumption, vague age difference between make out partners where one is barely an adult and the other definitely an adult
Words: ~1.5k
Mels comes out to her parents while playing Never have I ever. Technically, Mels doesn't intend to come out, she's just launching yet another playful attempt to make them face their feelings for each other. To make the penny drop, so to say. Coming out is just a welcome side effect.
"Never have I ever fancied a boy at our school," she says, taking a swig from her bottle and immediately on the next round following with ", and never have I ever fancied a girl at our school, " taking another swig.
It flies over their heads spectacularly. The rule violation, the coming out, even the matchmaking attempt. They just both blush scarlet, Amy takes a sip for her drink and avoids their eyes, then, the next round Rory does the same. Mels is this close to hitting her own forehead in frustration.
Amy realises later that night. Or, rather, she circles back to that moment once Rory has left and they're lying in her bed, the dark (and the tipsy) making it easier to confess secrets.
"I'm almost certain Rory is gay," she says and of all the takeaways someone could have had from her coming out, that would not have been among those Mels would have bet on.

"Goodness is not goodness that seeks advantage. Good is good in the final hour, in the deepest pit, without hope, without witness, without reward. Virtue is only virtue in extremis. This is what he believes, and this is the reason, above all, I love him. My husband, my madman in a box, my Doctor."
