Summary
Saving the world is hard at the best of times. Jake finds that it's harder when the man he's saving it with is the spitting image of his boyfriend, who's only been buried for a day.
Worse, he cannot bring himself to hate Mickey. Not like he rightly should.
--
The world doesn't stop because Ricky Smith is dead. But it's a helluva thing to have his ghost beside you every day.
A Pete's World slow burn. Follows Jake & Mickey from the events post-Rise of the Cybermen/Age of Steel through to Journey's End and beyond. Canon compliant in the sense that canon can't prove I'm wrong. Updated approximately weekly.

Summary
The first thing Jake does is take care of the body. He has to drive around a little bit, in part to dodge the police—he's out past curfew, after all—and in part because he felt uncomfortable asking Mickey "by the way, where did you watch yourself die?"
No. Not yourself. They're different people; he has to remember that, has to get the knowledge in his veins as quickly as he can. But he can imagine that to Mickey, it felt like watching himself die. Same face. Can't have been easy. Mickey's been holding up remarkably well under the circumstances. Or maybe he's like Jake, just waiting for the right moment to fall apart.

The world doesn't stop turning because Ricky Smith is dead. But it's a helluva thing to have his ghost beside you every day.
A Pete's World slow burn which has been cooking in my head for a decade. Follows Jake & Mickey from the events post-Rise of the Cybermen/Age of Steel through to the events of Journey's End, and beyond. Mostly canon compliant. [FIRST DRAFT - please see updated fic for current chapters + continuation!]

Summary
There, a dark smudge against the pale blue bedsheets, is a blood-smeared sticker of Thomas the Tank Engine.
His hands tremble when he picks it up.
“Where was this?” Tangerine asks. He doesn’t shout, knows it would do no good, but he wants to grab her by the shoulders and shake as though it would shake some sense into a world gone topsy-turvy.
The nurse’s brow furrows. “It was on you, sir.”
“Where.”
If he can bring the pieces together, he can reconstruct the scene. He passed in and out of consciousness, but he can’t remember this, and it’s either a cruel mockery or -
***
Tangerine wakes up in hospital and starts planning vengeance, only to find that it may not be necessary.

Summary
There are some great quick-and-dirty guides to HTML on A03. This is not one of them - it is a comprehensive guide
It's now 2025, a decade later. A03 supports some new HTML and and we're all walking around reading fic on supercomputers that fit in a jean pocket. It was time update this and take a crack at finishing it. (Links and Images are in, the new Audio and Video tags are not.)
The previous three chapters have been divided into smaller concepts. Each tag continues to have - at a minimum - a link to the w3schools page about it (so you can learn more), a code example, and the result of the code example. Most tags have their attributes, things like [src] or [title], listed and examples of how using the attributes modify the tags.
There's a chapter on Bad Ideas, including how some of the archive's default CSS is available to you to format your work (users can't turn that off by hiding a workskin!)
Oh. And I added a bunny army. You could learn how to add one too.
