Why this story must be read:
Because Mickey is love. My favourite use of Five Things stories is with characters who haven't always gotten their due, because it provides them with five whole other universes. The manipulation of canon herein is wonderful. This story is by turns hopeful, touching, and hilarious, and so very, very Mickey.
“Come with me.” The Doctor said. Let me show you the life Rose was willing to die for. Let me give you something precious to make up for what I took from you.
It wouldn’t be enough. Nothing in the whole stinking Universe would be enough. But the Doctor was lonely and he might be an alien, but he understood. Everything. About Rose and life and those eggshells he’d been walking on. And if he stayed he’d just stick. Rot and fester in the ‘then’ instead of moving on to face the ‘now’ head on. And that’s not what Rose would have done.
Rose would’ve taken the Doctor’s hand and flown off to the stars. Rose had. And now he did. Because he couldn’t face his flat. Because he couldn’t face work. Or Jackie. Or pubs and football. Because it was what Rose wanted.
Because it was what he wanted.
