Summary
Debbie Gallagher falls into a different type of addiction than the rest of her family; anorexia. Trying to grasp control over her life whilst she sees her whole family spiral, she has no idea this level of control will end up overtaking her. This isn't written to glamorize or romanticise ED's, instead it's written to explore the dark side of such a consuming disorder, alongside family reactions and the hope for recovery.

Summary
For as long as she can remember, Nancy Smith has lived in the quiet spaces between everything else—between her mother’s double shifts, empty dinners, and the life she’s never dared to reach for. Raised by a single mom who’s always working just to keep the lights on, Nancy learned early how to take care of herself… and how to stay invisible.
But next door, invisible isn’t an option.
The Gallaghers are pure chaos—loud, reckless, messy, and impossible to ignore. Their house is always full, always falling apart, yet somehow still standing. To Nancy, they’re everything her life isn’t: unpredictable, unapologetic, alive.
And then there’s Ian.
From the moment she noticed him, Nancy was drawn in by his sharp edges and quiet intensity—the way he seems just as out of place as she feels. Liking Ian isn’t simple. Nothing about the Gallaghers ever is.
As Nancy gets pulled deeper into their fights, secrets, and survival, the line between outsider and belonging begins to blur. Feelings complicate and Loyalties get tested.- Language:

Summary
Neil Josten, on the run and looking for a place to hide, is attempting to break into an abandoned building in Chicago's South Side. He's interrupted by Lip Gallagher, who quickly surmises Neil's predicament. After a tense initial exchange, Lip offers Neil a place to stay, not for money, but in exchange for his "utility" – a capable and quiet presence who can help with the family's various schemes without drawing unwanted attention. Despite his ingrained distrust of others, Neil, seeing no better option, reluctantly agrees to follow Lip back to the chaotic Gallagher household.

Summary
The younger’s nose scrunched up at the bridge drowsily, his voice husky with sleep as he murmured a soft, “Why’re you staring?”
Mickey’s blue eyes flashed from across Ian, the taller’s hands wrapped around his waist. Lashes fluttering beyond his eye, he licked his lips as he contemplated for a moment.“Nothing—fuck… You’re… you’re fuckin’— shit.” Mickey stammered, ignoring the soft bubble of a sleepy laugh that rose from Ian. “I like your stupid fuckin’ freckles.”

Mickey and Ian embark on having a baby in an unconventional way. Lip is a good sport. Mickey is protective. Terry is an asshole.
Seeing Mickey plan the wedding made me think he would act similarly to having a child, and so, this story was born.

New room, new bed, new life—and each other. It’s all they’ve ever needed.
Ian watches Mickey sleep on the other side of the mattress, still close enough to reach out and touch but far enough away that he probably won’t wake up if Ian decides to get out of bed.
He doesn’t.

Summary
“I wish you had gone to juvie.”
There was one of those automated clap-tracks on the television as another contestant got the question correct. Gallagher’s eyes were dark as the blue lights of the television screen threw weird shadows onto his face. Mickey wished, almost idly, that there was more lighting in the Milkovich household, if just so that Gallagher didn’t look so ominous. He picked up the remote and muted the TV.
A canon-divergent story from 1x09, in which Tony Markovich suspected foul play and coerced an unwilling Mickey Milkovich into revealing the truth about Kash Karib.
