    Summary

    There’s something building, bubbles rolling across frothing water, heat and sound and thick steam curling like an impenetrable wall of humidity over the city. Each time Mickey comes into the store, gives him that predatory look, the rope of tension between them tightens, laden with the tantalizing possibility of more.

    For someone so stubborn, Mickey's about as flighty as a deer. The slightest threat of a kiss, even Ian looking at his lips for a second too long, always has him bolting.

    Summary

    Mickey and Mandy have a new nextdoor neighbor and the whole block is abuzz with how hot he is. Mickey’s not denying that he’s attractive, with his nicely trimmed beard and his reading glasses and his overall vibe. But what really gets him is how kind he is - how willing he is to share his experience. He’s got a full motherfucking decade on Mickey and for some reason that just really does it for him.

    Ian Gallagher is hot in a Daddy sort of way, and Mickey couldn’t be more obsessed with him. His pursuit may be met with hesitation at first, and Mickey may be much younger, but he’s learned how persistence works in his favor.

    Summary

    The more Mickey loves something, the quicker his dad is to kill it. That’s why he keeps his distance from his brothers and sister, why he never calls Mom in lockup. Why he ignores Ian Gallagher as much as the stubborn shithead will allow.

    Ian has fought his feelings for Mickey since the sixth grade, and he’s getting pretty sick of it. Love like his? It's as good as a death sentence in the Milkovich world. Only a lunatic would risk it, but people always say Ian is Monica’s son through and through. And if she's crazy enough to walk a tightrope for trouble, he can do the same for Mickey. He’ll do anything for Mickey, given the chance.

    Summary

    The miracle of the rabbit on the moon.


    “We took this photo at their seventh birthday party. His father baked a cake. But someone ate all the jellybeans off the top before they could even sing the birthday song. That’s why Atsumu cried. He used to cry a lot. It stopped when the twins found out about volleyball, but before that Atsumu would cry over everything. Spilled milk. A skinned knee. The neighbor’s dog. He was the twin that was scared of paper straws. It's funny how things have changed.

    “He looks happier now. Did you do that?”

    Summary

    "Ian’s looking at Mickey like he’s got all the answers though. He wants to give them to him, he just doesn’t know what they are yet or how to give them to him yet." written for the gallavich gift exchange on tumblr a few weeks ago.
