quick messy sketch of amy and rory’s reunion after they get sent back in time by the weeping angels (I’m guessing it didn’t take much to find each other and they were sent back to the same exact spot)

sigh I need to draw more of them
I want to draw good fanart of them too, but I wanted to try something quick and dynamic looking- and amy/rory hugs are the best kind of hugs

More Amy/Rory stuff from The Doctor Who Companion:

-In the first draft of A Town Called Mercy, “That night the Doctor prowled the main street, worrying, while Amy told Rory she was thinking of being a travel writer; the couple discussed babies in a prickly manner with Amy saying that one option was for Rory to find somebody else who could give him children.”

I’m sincerely hoping that this first draft was written before Asylum Of The Daleks– I’m assuming it was- because otherwise that completely undoes all the character development in that episode.

-In the first draft of The Power Of Three, there’s a scene where Brian gives Rory details of an adoption agency and tells him he wants to be a grandad. “Later, Amy was furious at Brian telling them how to live their lives.”

I’m really glad they ditched all that stuff. I just…I don’t really like Amy’s infertility being a running thing, I just don’t. I don’t mind this (filmed, I gather, but cut) scene though:

BRIAN: You still haven’t talked to him, have you?

RORY: Don’t nag, Dad.

BRIAN: You can’t be with the Doctor forever.

RORY: Says who?

BRIAN: You both do. You’ve been cutting it back. Building a life. You said you’d had a meeting about applying to adopt…

RORY: We have, but what if we’re wrong? It’s a lot to give up. You’ve seen it, Dad. There’s so much out there.

BRIAN: And you’ll never see it all. You can’t. So don’t try. It’s better to leave the party while you’re still having fun…….I want to be a grandad, Rory. I’d be really good at it. Don’t make me wait forever.

Oh, taken with PS, that’s pretty heartbreaking.

“Originally when Rory entered and saw the hospital beds, he first examined Arnold who was dead, his eyes staring lifelessly. Rory closed his eyes and walked on, then seeing the orderlies with his dad. “What seems to be the matter?” asked the first orderly while the second said, “Just lie down on the bed…” as their syringes appeared in their hands.

Rory grabbed a drip stand and used it to whip one orderly’s legs out from beneath him; the figure fell to the floor whereupon his chest and mouth grille sparked and exploded.

(…)

He then turned to his unconcious dad on the bed and slapped his face in an attempt to wake him. Brian stirred a little, and Rory was starting to push the bed when two discs of blue light appeared and exploded fire at him, slamming him back against the wall. With energy fizzing around him, Rory was paralysed as if he had been tazered. Then the Shakri emerged from the darkness; its glowing eyes had been the blue discs. Coming up close to examine Rory with disgust and fascination, the Shakri said, “So many of them. Crawling the planet, seeping into every corner, breeding and fighting. And when cornered, the urge to destroy.”

“Let the others go,” gasped Rory in pain. “Keep me, and let the others go.”

RORY MY BEAUTIFUL RORY WHY DIDN’T THEY KEEP THIS IN

It just showcases everything I love about him: his respect for others, his unexpected action skills, his epic tendency towards self-sacrifice…it breaks my heart that they cut it.

“As Amy declared that the couple’s bond with each other would prevent the Angels taking Rory, the Doctor asked, ‘That’s all? True love- against the Angels?’ Amy looked at the Doctor, pityingly, and said, ‘You’re right, River. I shouldn’t have let him travel alone.’”
