  Summary

  Rory always believed it would be him and Amy, together forever. So when he'd asked her to choose, he never imagined she would choose The Doctor. But she had made her decision, and he had no choice but to try and move on.
  Leaving Leadworth and all thoughts of Amy Pond and her Raggedy Doctor behind, he hopes for a new start in London. Then he meets his new coworker, Dr. Martha Jones, and for the first time in what felt like forever, Rory starts to think he might actually be able to rebuild his life. Maybe he can finally leave Amy, the Doctor, and everything that happened behind. But the past has a way of catching you. And no matter how hard Rory tries to run away, he can't seem to run fast enough.

  Title from Strawberry Fields Forever by The Beatles.
