    Summary

    You’re a fucking onion, aren’t you Mickey Milkovich? Layers and layers under that brittle shell.

    Mickey and Ian come from opposite sides of the tracks, but strike up an unexpected and deep friendship. When their lives implode however, it’s tested to the limit – while also revealing that things between them are not quite what they seem.

    Despite this being a ‘friends to lovers’ fic it deals with some very heavy and dark subject matter, so if you’re looking for a lite fluff-fest this ain’t it. That’s not to say there’s no fluff – I always balance out the dark stuff with sweet and comedic moments and actually the tone of most of this is humorous. But please be sure to read the tags so you’re not caught off-guard. I also use chapter-by-chapter trigger warnings.

    There are two separate versions of this story: Mickey's here and then Ian's. This fic should be read first to avoid spoilers contained in Ian's POV Looking Through a Glass Onion.
