Actually, I know I should still be annoyed since it's technically "hooking up the spares"... or worse, "hooking up the ethnic minorities", but it's Mickey & Martha, so I honestly don't care.
Yeah, there was so much 'huh - where did that come from?!' and '...kind of fits in with the whole racefailyness theme' that it shouldn't have worked - but like you said, it's Mickey and Martha, so I love it.
And not to tip my hand too much, but my basic idea is that the Doctor (who knows this things being a Time Lord and all) chose a time in the future when Mickey and Martha were both together, but it had taken them years to get to that point. The fic is Mickey sort of admiring Martha from afar while she is married to Tom and what happens after she becomes a widow.
And speaking of loving things - I love this idea! I can't wait to read it :)
