Ahem. That was lovely! I've been wanting to see this conversation for a long time, and I really like what you've done here, the way they clearly still love each other. I like that Rose was already suspicious before he told her, and that he's honest with her. Mainly, I love imagining that they all got this chance to sit down and talk after all the madness. *squishes them*
This is simply excellent. You have a great facility with words and phrases, and the observational acuity that benefits from that:
"Rose is breathing in the air of the TARDIS, the taste of the vortex lingeringing in the hollows of her mouth like sweet spices. It's these little, monumental things that she has remembered, the way this corridor arches upwards seemingly into infinity, that room that greets you with lilting melodies you didn't know you'd always been longing for." (I underlined the phrases there that particularly impressed me.)
And this one is pure brilliance: "When they sit down they tell stories until their hearts ache."
Mickey is talking about the parallel London, the vagaries and differences, like the entirely inexplicable non-existence of Eastenders and Boris Johnson's worryingly successful ongoing prime ministerial campaign.
(Oh Boris Johnson.)
ETA: & meant to say... Jack & Rose reunion!fic is very much needed, as they got rather cheated in JE. So hurrah for you!
Yay Rose! (I'll convert you slowly, along with all the other characters I seem to be thrusting onto people... man, I'm like the bloody Happiness Patrol or something, heh.)

& the last line is perfect.
This, however? is my favourite line:
