Summary
Sometimes, on his early shifts when he starts at six a.m and the guy comes in at six thirty, like a whirlwind with a dirt streaked face or a bloody lip or a black eye, but ordering his coffee like he doesn’t look like he just got into a car crash, Ian thinks he hallucinates him. This little guy can’t actually exist out there in the world, right? He’s not actually part of society, is he? Surely, this angry asshole only exists in Ian’s diseased mind?
Or in which everything is about the same, except that Ian Gallagher and Mickey Milkovich meet each other a little later in life - a little more mature, a little more stable - and manage to make a million mistakes anyway.

Summary
When he makes it back into the kitchen, what’s left of his ice cream is completely melted. There must be a metaphor in there somewhere. Deep down Mickey knows that this whole thing had just been blown out of proportion, to put it fucking mildly: Ian doesn’t care that much about whatever happened at Dottie’s yesterday. Still, as he throws away what’s left of his Chocolate Caramel Cookie Dough pint, he knows that it’s definitely too late to backtrack now. Not that he was going to anyway. Pig-headed, remember?
He spots Ian’s forgotten phone on the kitchen island and audibly groans.
Being married to Ian Gallagher is like being married to a California King sized, ice-cream-dropping toddler.
There’s your fucking metaphor.
(In which Mickey puts their neighbor in her place and won’t apologize for it, Ian learns a valuable lesson about compromising and Lip just needs everyone to check their fucking phones for a change.)

Summary
"Tell me about your years as an assassin."
"That's a lot to tell," Gallagher says. "You're going to have to be more specific."
"Tell me about Milkovich."
The change in Gallagher's expression is immediate. His smile vanishes and his eyes go cold. Then he takes a deep breath, and laughs. "Oh, you want to know about Mickey."
----
In which Ian is a cold-blooded serial killer with a soft spot for a certain South Side asshole.

Summary
An unexpected inheritance allows Ian to purchase a building in the heart of Chicago’s Wicker Park. He plans on turning the ground floor into a music lounge, but he’s not expecting his upstairs tenant to be Mickey; an irritable (and intriguing) tattoo artist struggling to get his business up and running.
As they navigate through the frustrations of sharing a building, Mickey’s relentless ex begins hanging around in an attempt to get him back—until Ian shakes things up by playing the fake boyfriend card. They may not be actors, but they are exceptionally convincing.

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.
