Actually, you go Doctor. Do it the right way, this time, stubborn.
As for Mickey and Rose's breakup - I think it was brilliant and completely believable the way you wrote it. A lot of people don't know what it's like to be in a relationship that is never ever ever going to go anywhere but slowly grinding BOTH of you down to absolutely nothing. I think this is much more fair to both of them than the way they did things in canon, with Mickey guilting her into staying with him and treating her like she was a bitch for wanting more out of life. If there is anything I ever wanted to grab Mickey and Jackie both for and shake them, it was the fact that they both had to act freaking entitled to keep Rose where she started. I'm sorry, that became a huge rant, didn't it, but I've been there.
Also - TEENY thing, and I bet you'll be really annoyed about this, because of the LJ being a pain in the @$$ thing. Should be "Your chariot".
I just really adored how you handled all of this. Thank you!
