Why this must be read:
Shortly after The Girl in the Fireplace aired there was a rush of AU's which featured Reinette travelling in the TARDIS, this is my favourite story of that genre. The characterisation of everyone, especially Reinette is superb. And the interactions between the TARDIS crew are very believable. Rose, alternatley jealous and kind towards Reinette, the Doctor oblivious, Mickey falling for Reinette while still being more than a little in love with Rose.
This fic makes Mickey/Reinette seem not only plausible, but one of the best ideas fandom never had.
The door, which was metal, started to dent.
"I'm sorry, Reinette," Mickey said hopelessly. "I'm so so sorry."
"It is in no way your fault," said Reinette. She drew closer to him. "When I first met you," she said, "I thought you were another angel. A lesser one, but an angel nonetheless. I was wrong. You are merely human, as am I."
Mickey put his arms around her, hopelessly.
"I am not afraid of dying," Reinette said. "I just wish I had seen him, one more time."
Mickey didn't need to ask who. The door continued to dent and lose it's shape.
"I consider myself the most fortunate person to have ever lived- with the possible exception of one Rose Tyler," Reinette whispered. "To have an angel, to have the whole world, and to have you."
"What do you mean?"
"I love many men, and one angel. You are not an angel, but I love you. Understand?"
"...Yes." And he did, and he was scared, but he went and kissed her anyway- and wondered if he would have done so if they were not about to die.
