Last bingo rec for me, this time for the prompt "Home".

Title: If you're not really here, then the stars don't even matter
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] leiascully
Rating: Teen and Up
Word Count/Length/Size: 1539 words
Creator's Summary: There's no point in stars anymore.
Characters/Pairings: Amy Pond/Rory Williams
Warnings/Notes: none

Reasons for reccing: This set after the Doctor leaves Amy and Rory back home at the end of "The God Complex" and told from Rory's POV. It's about coming to terms with all the good and especially the bad things they experienced during their time with him, and about being back home, finding a way to shape their life. I really like it because it provides some emotional follow-up that the characters were rarely allowed, anger and guilt and holes in their lives. Given all that, it still isn't dark, though, because it has an ending that is hopeful and warm and just a little bit wise.

He stands there a moment longer, glaring up at the sky. But there's no familiar blue box tumbling through the atmosphere. The Doctor won't tumble out and make everything better with his sonic and his habit of talking anyone into anything. There's just the blue door of his blue house opening and light spilling over the road.

"Oi!" Amy says, crossing her arms and leaning against the doorframe. "Are you going to be at that long? Because it doesn't do any good. I should know." She jerks her head to indicate the cozy, warm interior of the house. "Besides, there's a curry with your name on it getting cold."
