Awwwww, Sam, this is the perfect Roranicus Pond fic. The whole thing gives me the same chest-achy love for Rory that the last two eps did.

I like the whole Roman backstory for Rufus, and its parallels to the Earth backstor(y/ies), and Amy and the Doctor always being there someplace.

Rory's voice is very good, too, and the way time flies by when you're guarding the Pandorica...

the "It's All Rubbish" theory - works for a lot of Who stuff. Torchwood too. :-)

It's odd how SO MUCH of your fic finds its way into my fanon. This is another one that's going to find a home there.
