Rose/Mickey/Jake Part 1: Picspam

Well, I think I’ve scientifically proven that these three are all extremely good-looking, so my work is done… what, actual reasons why I think they’re awesome together? You lot want the moon on a stick, honestly.

Why I ship Rose/Mickey/Jake as an alternate universe threesome of sheer awesome )

This is lovely. I like to think that Rose and Mickey and Jake are kicking ass in the AU.

This is so lovely, and now I'm shipping them all for real. I love love love the way you summed up the Rose/Mickey, especially the bit where Mickey, y'know, saved the universe - I was sold on them from that first ep where they meet up at lunch and eat sandwiches and Mickey dances for her and they have a laugh and, oh. And as you say - they've both grown, so much, and there's something ridiculously sweet about them finding each other again.

here is a lot of affectionate sarcasm, world-saving, ganging up on Mickey, silly-looking aliens, gadgets, disguises and plans nicked directly from James Bond films, and quite possibly nobody else entirely gets the three of them, but that’s okay.

Oh, so awesome.

And thanks for mentioning my fic, and comm! ::hugs::

I'm not totally sure about the OT3, but I do love Mickey/Jake, and i love what you've said about all the individual relationships. I so agree about the separate pairings having to work for the threesome to work.

I also really love what you were saying about Rose having made an awesome life that she loves with adventures and butt kicking. I've pretty much come to the conclusion that after S4, I don't mind what they do with her, whether it's with the Doctor, or back in the alternate world, or something else altogether, as long as she's happy and has found the life she wants.

Unless and until season 4 Josses me

WTF is "Josses?" I read that and now I'm really curious. And I'm with you 100% on Rose having a fantastic life in the AU 'verse. I hope RTD doesn't screw us.

When your theories/spec/hopes are comprehensively demolished by events in canon, you've been Jossed. The term originated in Buffy fandom with people jokingly blaming Joss Whedon for messing up their beautiful fics, etc., and has been widely adopted elsewhere. (You occasionally also see it adapted with the name of the relevant executive producer, e.g. "Russelled" for DW, but generally Joss now gets the blame for everything ever done on genre TV whether he's responsible for it or not.)

Ha! Aww, poor Joss. He really did mess people's personal cannons up. Loved Firefly though.

The original and the most major Jossing, AFAIR, was in Fool For Love; Spike had said twice before that Angel was his sire, and all the fic about them naturally enough went with canon on this; then we saw the flashback to him being sired by Dru...

I completely agree that Rose would have had a fantastic life in the alt!verse (I've always been a Rose/Mickey shipper, and yeah, I can see how adding Jake might work with that) and I'm hoping against hope that at the end of S4 she CHOOSES to go back to her life there, perhaps to the Doctor's surprise.
