Summary
Ian couldn’t handle touch sometimes. He never said so, never pushed away from any touches or said no to any advances, but there were times when touches from anyone made his skin crawl and made him feel as if he was covered in muck that seeped into his skin. He would throw up, after days like that.
So Ian ran until he threw up.
***
After he has a nightmare about the club, lan falls into some unhealthy coping mechanisms and runs for a few hours too long, but ultimately comes to some much-needed conclusions about his past.(title from skinny by billie eilish)

Summary
“What’d you do?” Mickey asked eventually after a few minutes of passing the joint back and forth. Ian shifted just a little, flexing his fists.
He had tried to fight back. He always did, now that he was that bit older and should be able to. He was in ROTC for two years, he trained at the gym, he worked out every single day, so why couldn’t he fight off a 50 year old junkie?
“He was going through Lip’s shit. Tried to take a 20”
“Lip had a 20?”
“That’s what I said”
***
Ian has a bad run in with Frank and calls Mickey for his help.

Summary
“Ian?”
He hadn’t realized his eyes were shut so tightly. Didn’t realize he was holding his breath until he felt Mickey’s hand rubbing his chest, encouraging him to breathe.
“You okay, man?” asked Mickey as Ian took gasping breaths, trying to get air into his lungs to ease the pain in his chest.
“Turn it off,” he managed to get out, pushing Mickey off of him.
To Mickey’s credit he didn’t ask what Ian meant. Simply got off the bed and immediately shut his phone off, showing Ian that it was no longer recording before tossing it to the other side of the room.

Mickey wants to make a sex tape but Ian can't stop thinking about all the times he's ever been filmed having sex and wishes he could take them all back.

Summary
“Why’d you call, baby?”
“Because I feel like I’m going insane,” He replied, finally turning to face Monica with as bittersweet a smile as he could manage. “and I felt like you would get that”
Monica pulled him in closer. This time, Ian let her.
Monica was already down, her life was a mess, she had children that hated her, too many addictions to count and a lifetime illness that her shitty genes passed on. Ian couldn’t drag her down any further, he couldn’t ruin her life because it’s always been in shambles. She was the shakiest foundation known to man, but right now, that was all Ian had to lean on.
***
Ian gets down, and he calls the only person he can think off. It helps more than he thought it would.
(Post season 5, before Ian sees the car crash.)

Summary
“Kash was a creep” He said again as he turned to face Lip. Lip raised his beer and took another drink.
“Fuck” Ian opened his beer and took as big a mouthful as he could, slumping against the back of the couch and propping his legs up on the coffee table.
“Fuck” Lip agreed, kicking one of Ian’s feet off so there was room for his.
***
Ian finally comes to terms with the fact that he should not have been in a sexual relationship with his boss.

Summary
"She's dead," he blurts out, numbly, before he can stop himself. His voice sounds foreign and unfamiliar to his own ears.
Mickey's brows pinch together. He looks troubled, and a very detached part of Ian wants to smooth down that crease in his forehead and kiss his worries away. "Who is?"
Ian chokes up, his mouth dry, his chest heaving. "Monica. She's– fuck." He drags his hands – they're shaking, so fucking badly – through his hair, and tugs at it, hard.
This can't be fucking happening. This is– it's not–
The grim realization that takes over Mickey's features is all the fucking proof he needs.
~~~
Or, Ian gets the call about Monica's passing just a little sooner. This changes things.

Summary
But when it came down to it, distancing himself from the emotions and the trauma helped him react better when bad things happened. Because then he never really experienced it at all right? This method typically worked out for Ian rather well, unless it was something new.
That's why Mickey Milkovich ruined him.
