Summary
Soulmate AU (canon adjacent). Some things are different, some things are jumbled, and some things will always stay the same no matter how two South Side teenage boys meet. Mickey is fucked for life or at least that is what he always believed. Trying to keep a part of himself secret from everyone but especially his dad, he gets blackmailed by his school's principal to enter the Student Mentoring Student program. As if that wasn't already a huge shitshow, a global freak event binds Mickey to a certain freckled ginger. Ah, and he has special abilities now too. Has Mickey already mentioned how much of a clusterfuck his life has turned into?

Summary
In preparation for season 11, I’ve created a canon compliant (99.9%) fic for season 10 that covers everything Gallavich from Mickey’s arrival in season 9 up to their wedding night. It fills the gaps, explains their motivations and deals with the past. I’ll post a chapter each morning so that it’s complete before season 11 airs.

Summary
“You gonna tell me why we had to watch Tuesday turn into Wednesday or…”
Ian doesn’t answer him. Not right away.
It’s silent for long enough that Mickey shrugs it off and goes back to looking at the sky. He’s long since accepted the fact that Ian’s weird. He doesn’t dislike it or anything, it’s just how it is.
So he doesn’t think much about the non-explanation.
Until Ian finally speaks.
“Today’s my birthday.”

Summary
Recently released from prison on a manslaughter charge, Mickey Milkovich isn't looking for anything messy. He's had enough messes for a life time, with prison, his piece of shit dad, and his drugged-up brothers. He just wants to work forty hours per week to keep his PO off his back and make sure his little sister doesn't have another breakdown. Keeping his new life as tidy as possible should be easy.
Except there's an annoying red-haired dancer at the club he works at who keeps talking to him, and nothing about Ian Gallagher is tidy.

Summary
Mickey doesn’t care. There isn’t much he cares about. He’s become a fossil, with layers of hard rock filling his insides.
He hasn’t called Ian. Ian called him, and Mickey declined it.
There’s an ache.

A canon-divergent story from 3x08, where Mickey and Mandy are taken into foster care.

Summary
The day Ned asks Ian to rob his house the redhead almost says yes – why shouldn’t he, after all? Ned seems nonchalant enough about the whole thing, he’ll get some free expensive shit out of the deal, and if he plays his cards right maybe he can even convince Mickey to be his accomplice – but something stops him from going through with it.
The third-eldest Gallagher has never been much of a believer in fate or divine intervention or destiny or anything like that – can’t be, with the life he’s led – but he just might have become one, had he only known how that one seemingly insignificant decision had changed the course of his entire life.
He gets it now; why people write songs about this, why they become addicts when they lose it. He gets how it can mess with your whole life, why you’d go to jail to keep someone else safe, why you’d kill to see them happy. He understands it all; every cheesy line in every crappy movie, and all the bad decisions he’s seen his brothers and sister, his mother, make. He gets why people do all of those things. Now that he knows what it feels like, knows for sure, he finally understands.
Love ruins you. -

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.
