Title: Time
Summary: The first of seven short fics going through Jake and Mickey's relationship in jumps- from right after Rickey dies up to several years later.
Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who. If I did I'd...probably still be writing fanfiction, but I wouldn't post it.
Notes: Jake/Mickey, past Jake/Rickey. So, yeah, concrit is very much appreciated, reviews are chocolate, concrit is truffles, and somewhere in there are jellybabies.
Seconds
It was seconds before it dawned on Jake that it wasn't Rickey. He'd known it as soon as he saw him coming, of course, just one of him, known from the look on his face- Rickey never looked like that. But he'd hoped...he'd thought maybe he was wrong. Twenty seconds wasn't much time to think, actually, so it'd been more like...like his mind was rejecting any possibility that the man coming towards him wasn't his Rickey. But it'd only taken one moment for Rickey to die. One moment, one moment for the one man he cared about more than anyone else to die. One moment for just one man to come back. One. He thought, now, that he hated the number one.
