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.
