amy pond

barrissoffee:

Memories are more powerful than you think, and Amy Pond is not an ordinary girl. Grew up with a time crack in her wall. The universe pouring through her dreams every night. The Nestenes took a memory print of her and got a bit more than they bargained for, like you. Not just your face, but your heart and your soul.

After finishing that Lorna gifset last night I suddenly got a story in my head. It’s short, and since it deals with Amy and the Demon’s Run stuff it’s probably not very nice, but here it is anyway.

Title: Justice
Rating: PG13…I guess?
Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters: Amy Pond, Rory Williams, Jenny Flint, the Eleventh Doctor, Lorna Bucket, Madame Kovarian, River Song
Warnings: Child loss, death, and abuse
Summary: Three lives that touched the life of Amy Pond on Demon’s Run.

Read it on AO3, or-

So the duck pond WAS supposed to be a thing?? (I’m assuming a hint that stuff was disappearing from Amy’s life?)

Oh, yes it was! To quote Steven Moffat:

“From the start, I had this single idea: that the ducks, like Amy’s
parents, had been sucked through the crack in time. And to round
everything off, in the very last shot of the series, we’d see the TARDIS
fade away, leaving us with a shot of the duckpond, and some happy
little ducks.

“Then, at the last minute, we had to relocate the scene to Amy’s back
garden, and it never happened. So! There you go! Nice thought, never
happened. Oops!” [x]

I actually think it still kind of works. A “duck pond” without ducks, effect without cause, something is missing, something doesn’t quite make sense but Amy doesn’t see it… it still functions as a parallel of sorts. But the actual plan would have made it a central symbol for the series arc, rather than a puzzling little remark.
