Hello, hello! Have a fic, in celebration of the new episode tonight (and as a break from writing Alexithymia). I know, the title's totally unrelated.
Hope you enjoy it!

She doesn't know if he knows what she feels.
She doesn't care, either.
Because it can never work- love's too complicated and they're complicated enough, walking on thin wire towards their final destination, always slipping but they've learned to hang on and get back up again, they've learned sometimes time can be your worst enemy, they've learned some of the pain must be left behind because it's impossible to carry the weight of those burdens lest they stumble and fall. They're both too strong and at the same time too weak, one blow could be a fatal hit, and there's space for one final mistake before their gauge is empty. And this is where time comes in- they're always turning back to fix whatever needs mending, because they're verging on empty and want to be complete again.

Sometimes, he looks over at her, just a glance, but it says so much more to her than he thinks. He looks back because he's afraid- his past haunts him and he doesn't want his life to be a pile of endless bad things- but he realizes it always has.
He turns away.

"We're almost there," the Doctor says to an impatient Amy.
She doesn't say anything. She's thinking about the word almost and how it describes her relationship with the Doctor perfectly- almost there, but not quite, on the verge of everything either falling apart or coming together. Almost- but they stop themselves because they don't want any more pain; they can't handle any more of it. Almost- but something's pulling them back from the edge they want to jump off of.
"Pond?"
He's standing inches away from her now, looking at her intently.
"We're here."
She laces her fingers with his.
She doesn't want almost. She doesn't want to look back.

She holds his hand as tight as she can, and Amy Pond and the Doctor run.
She smiles. This is what she's always wanted.
So? :) Thoughts, guys? Please leave a review. I need some cheering up, kind of a crappy day...but you know, if you don't want to, go on with your life. Haha.
Oh, and I'll update Alexithymia soon- plus my new multi-chap will be up sometime next week! (hopefully.)
