she remembers Oswin's last words to the Doctor (proving that this happens to her after Asylum of the Daleks, just as it does to him).
I'm not sure that's the case. Is it that she remembers and is repeating? Or is that just what Oswin says/does when dying in the Doctor's aquaintence?
In a lengthy Harry Potter AU triofic I'm writing, I had to cause to have Ron, from memory, tell The Tale of the Three Brothers, rather than Hermione reading from the book. Still, as when Hermione reads the tale in DH, when Death's invisibility cloak is mentioned, I steal two lines of dialogue from JKR: Harry asking, "Death has an invisibility cloak?" and Ron responds, "Yeah, sometimes he gets bored of running at people, waving his arms and shrieking." My purpose was to show that these are still, even with all the ways the AU events have made their lives different, the same to lads JKR was writing about, so with the same stimulous -- mention of the cloak, in the Tale -- they have the same response -- smart-alecky commentary.
I felt like that was what Moffatt was doing: "Here's what Oswin does when she dies helping the Doctor."
