Everyday Life with the Ponds #4-9

Continuing with our adventures in a merry Pond life ... these short stories have been excellent writing practice this week since Namesake was just not happening for obvious reasons.

Story #4: Defense — It was Rory's job to defend his daughter no matter what -- even if it was from her husband.

The below stories are all epilogues to the Pond Life episodes that the BBC streamed this week. If you haven't seen them, you will be spoiled. Likewise, story #4 contains a spoiler for "Angels Take Manhattan," episode 5 of series 7. You might want to avoid that one if you've seen Pond Life but trying to remain spoiler-free for the main series.
