Disclaimer: Does not belong to me.
A/N: The idea for this came to me when I realized that Mickey is pretty much the only human left alive on Earth who a) remembers meeting Jack before he became immortal and b) truly comprehends the significance of that. I wanted to write Mickey's point of view on his travels and how he became a much different person, catching him at a point where he's focusing on someone at the edge of his life (Jack) as well as someone who, offstage, becomes the center (Martha). The title comes from the song "Five Years". Thanks to heddychaa for the fantastic beta that really pushed me to make this the best I could.
