Reconsideration

Funny how things changed. On first meeting him, Mickey'd thought Captain Jack Harkness an insufferable prick, and the world revolved around Rose.

Now, as they walked out of The Black Pig, Mickey liked the feel of Jack's arm around his shoulders. Jack also held Martha, the loveliest woman in the world. Jack was remarkably steady between them. Mickey liked that. Maybe he was more like Ricky than he'd thought. He'd enjoyed the promising warmth of Jack's hand on his thigh, inside the pub. Mickey grinned, remembering. Jack and Martha grinned back.

Life at Torchwood was looking better all the time.

I'm choosing to ignore two of those words completely...
But I liked the rest of it - especially where Mickey realises he's more like Ricky than he though *VBG*

...Two words?

especially where Mickey realises he's more like Ricky than he thought

Seems plausible to me!

...Two words?

I don't want to read them again I think they were near the beginning of the last line *sticks fingers in ears and sings loudly with my eyes closed*

Ah. If you mean what I think you mean, I was extrapolating. You didn't hear it, anyway.

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

Extrapolating is fine - it just came while I was feeling a bit discombobulated about the whole thing.

Hee. We shall see. What, about a year of suspense still to go? How can they do this to us?

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

I am so not in suspense for *that* and if I have to suffer a year of fic based solely on that premise I think I may lose my mind...

I think I already have lost my mind...!
