I don't expect anyone to read this, really, but it helped to bash it out in words and I like the idea of having a record of how I put a piece of writing together. *laps up with spoon*
While she was trying to remember her parents in order to bring them back during the Big Bang, she blanked and ended up thinking of the two people who have shown her the most parental-type affection in her living memory. The universe then did its best to accommodate her. This makes perfect sense!
He’s ready to be wiped out of existence so that she can have a normal life again and has just finished that lovely scene where he tucks her into bed and tells her a story, so if the universe calls him back into a role as her father, so that she can have a normal life again, subconsciously he’s going to be more receptive to that than he would under normal circumstances. On top of that, he’s finally started to warm to the idea of River as his wife, so that’s going to be interesting to him, and obviously they’ve shaped a life together in Leadworth that’s not exactly what you’d think of as a normal, boring existence but is about as well suited to them as life in a sleepy village can be. And, finally, the John Smith-y, catching a taxi at 2am part of the Doctor is always lurking somewhere in the depths, looking for a little gratification. Love all of this (esp. the John Smith parts) and agree v. much. Also in 'Amy's Choice' he was an accidental visitor, where here he's Amy's *father*, a role he has put himself into for most of the season, and one he is very comfortable with.
If she wakes up one day and big parts of her life aren’t making sense, well, that’s pretty much par for the course, and she’ll take note of it but essentially keep going and doing what she can with what she’s got in front of her today. *nods* Yes, I can see that.
Amy, on the other hand, is primed to know something’s wrong. Yes, very much so. Also she (in the alt!verse) was the only one to believe in stars... She'll go with what her gut tells her, even if reality seems to say otherwise.
Rory has grown so much as a character and had his consciousness so much expanded over the course of the season that I rather think he would be ready to accept the idea that something was wrong, if Amy pointed it out to him. I may have her go to him first with her concerns. Also Rory has always been her confidante - even when he didn't believe her (see the Raggedy Doctor) he still went along with it to please her.
“So, are we married now, or are things back to where they were?” “Yes.” “I’m glad that’s cleared up, then.” *dies* I didn't think I could love them more, but then you wrote that! :)
