yesterday i was like oh no i couldn't possibly try to bull my way through more who rewatch or new material it's simply not feasible ive got too much else going on . but i checked and the last place i left off rewatch-wise was 'age of steel' which of course is a perennial favorite due to the mickey ricky jake of it all so

#i have this whole unwritten betweentime fic spanning the end of age of steel and the beginning of doomsday #between mickey and jake in which mickey is a) convinced he's straight and b) an absolute gentleman in all things #and therefore c) not even TRYING to kindle anything bc he's trying as hard as he can to downplay his resemblance to a grieving man's lover #but jake is torn between the memory of ricky (kind of a prick but then so was jake. they were both assholes and they were in love)#and the reality of mickey (world's sweetest guy ever. born to please. has taken jake round to his grandma's multiple times)#and he's like but i could NEVER. he's straight and it'd be disloyal to ricky #and they both think the other one will be hurt more if they do something. while also both thinking. there's nothing TO do.#(they're both wrong. culminates in some deeply english ladsex when they're both high on achievement after liberating paris)#dr who #and substances. they're also high on substances
