AU: Amy/Rory: The soldier and the queen
Amy is a warrior queen on a distant planet- there’s no technology, only grand castles and noble deeds. Rory is the Doctor’s companion, keen to see more of the universe and help out wherever he is needed.
Amy’s planet is at war. The Doctor wants to help, but the situation to him seems to delicate and too full of fixed points to meddle in. Rory, though…
Rory falls in love with the Queen, at almost first sight. Amy has feelings for him too, but she has no time for love, as she is due to lead her warriors into one final, near-suicidal battle.
On the eve of the battle, Rory puts on the costume of a warrior and goes to fight with her, despite her insistance that he should stay away. He fights bravely, but Amy is the warrior, and she doesn’t want nor need him to die for her-
-but he does. He takes a shot she could have easily deflected, and dies in her arms. The Doctor leaves the planet, never to return, The Queen and her armies defeat their enemy, and order and justice are restored- but Amy mourns terribly for her Rory, a boy who threw his life away for love.
