Why this must be read:
When in comes to new series fiction, the vast majority, whether shippy or not, tends to focus on the Doctor and/or Rose. Particularly during the first series, Mickey and Jackie were only really seen as comic relief, and were rarely ficced (The second series has done quite a bit in getting them more notice, it has to be said. Particularly Mickey, who has some great fic about him now. Which, being a big Mickey fan, I highly approve of).
Now, I personally am a big fan of minor character fics, and alternate POVs of canon stories. Andsarah531 is one of my favourite writers of these fics. This was the first fic that brought her to my notice, as it had a heavy Mickey focus back when I couldn't find Mickey fic anywhere. But it's a wonderful story about those who have been affected by the Doctor - those who remain here on Earth - set alongside Series One (There is a Series Two sequel in progress). With wonderful development for Mickey and Jackie, but also in developing great characters from throwaway lines (and some great OCs), and it genuinely shows the influence that the Doctor has on anyone. And the power that gives them.
On the way home he weighed things up. Rose had gone off with some alien who he didn't know. Right. He'd got that one now. Something absolutely horrible had happened last night and it had almost definitely ended in a few deaths. Right.
It's not the end of the world.
He felt really miserable all a sudden, like someone who'd just woken up on his ninty-ninth birthday and realised there was a lot of the world he knew nothing of and now it was almost too late. Or something.
On the other hand, one day he could walk past that house, knock on the door, ask the person who answered if that kid was alright...
He could.
It's not the end of the world.
Bloody felt like it, though. Okay, so Rose wasn't dead, as far as he knew, and his parents and other assorted family members weren't dead either, but still...
He had no idea why it happened, or how, but he found himself walking back towards the kid's house, and knocking on the door. A woman answered the door- her eyes were red, she'd been crying a lot- and she let him in. He went into the living room. The boy stayed huddled on the sofa, barely looking at him.
"Maybe you should look at the website," he finally said.
And after that, Mickey knew he was caught up in something considerably bigger than him, and he knew he wasn't going to get out of it in a hurry.
And after that, just to top it all off, it was the end of the world.
