AU: THE DOCTOR AND ROSE AS WRITERS
“Oh, I’ve seen that look. Prob’ly worn it myself a few times. That secret pride when you talk about what you do, you know. Written all over your face.” {x}

Doctor: Becaue I thought it would hurt too much
River:I believed I could have coped.
Doctor. No. I thought it would hurt me.
plot twist: it actually hurt everyone
#i feel like this is the perfect counterpart to aotd #because everyone always assumed that rory loved amy more than she loved him #but she loved him so much as well #and people always assume that river loves the doctor more than he loves her #because she’s better at showing it #but here he is admitting how deeply his feelings for her affect him #he loves her so much (via a-bitey-mad-lady)
but can we take a moment to appreciate this
because that is a fucking kiss
a kiss like that deserves it’s own post
a kiss like that deserves it’s own show
