You broke Carl's heart, Kelly. [...] You rejected him and West Point rejected him. He's rejected and he's giving up and that is on you for encouraging him into thinking he could ever get into fucking west point to begin with and making him fall in love with you.

[bluevaries]

i'm usually a lurker here but this is just a lil idea of ian and mickey getting drunk, losing a shoe each, and ending up on the gallaghers front porch and mickey cant stop telling stories. ian's just happy mickeys happy

[em-harlsnow]

for a while now, ian’s had scars on the palms of his hands. one hand has a pale slice from his time in the army, and the other has wrinkled and calloused skin from the cooker at Patsy’s Pies.

he still has no problem shaking people’s hands. he doesn’t seem to think about it much, at least from what mickey’s seen. when he’s bored or stressed, he’ll spin their wedding ring around and around in circles. He doesn’t realise he’s doing it, mickey knows that much.

mickey likes ian’s hands.

they’re bigger than his, a lot bigger, all freckled and pale. there’s a sweet warmth whenever ian grabs his hands, something attractive and heated about how mickey’s hands are swallowed up by Ian’s.

ian never minds when mickey follows the divots and bumps of the burn scars with his thumb and fingers. mickey’s not sure if he even notices. The skin is roughened and has bursts of raised tissue with bolts of white streaks running through them.

mickey recalls when ian did it. he remembers coming home to ian’s hand bandaged up and no explanation about it. not until years had gone by.

it reminds him, those burns, the scar from the army too, of what could happen if ian went off his meds again. it scares mickey, that thought, sometimes. but more often than not, he puts the fears aside and tries instead to consider how much mickey wants to keep ian from getting hurt again.

it’s dark in their bedroom, moonlight tipping in from the window. ian’s arm is slung over mickey’s shoulders and mickey stops gripping his wrist in favour of pressing his thumb into the coarse skin in the pads of his palms and fronts of his fingers.

ian hums, and mickey can feel his chest rumble with it.

‘you like my scars.’ ian points out, inebriated by sleep.

mickey grunts back in something between confirmation and disagreement. he doesn’t like them, because that sounds as if mickey enjoys that ian was hurt which he doesn’t. but he also does like them, because they’re a part of ian and mickey enjoys the closeness they have that mickey can run his fingers over them without any discomfort.

‘you like when i do this?’ mickey asks, running his finger tips along the scars.

ian leans into his hair, breathing him in and nudging his forehead against the back of mickey’s head.

‘mhm.’ he hums in assent. ‘relaxing.’ he explains.

mickey’s mouth breaks into a smile.

Thank you my dear Elise for this wonderful @galladrabbles prompt. I really had a lot of fun with it. So this one is for you, @ianstummy :) And for all the other incredibly fandom people, of course.

“‘t tickles!” 

Ian’s laughter rumbles through his chest, making Mickey’s pillow wobble.

His wonderfully soft pillow.

He hums and licks his lips before his fingers resume drawing gentle shapes into Ian’s skin. His tongue follows them. He kisses away Ian’s goosebumps and makes his husband giggle-moan when he dips his tongue into his belly button.

Mickey lifts his gaze without moving his head. Not even one inch. He loves this.

Ian’s eyes are bright and shiny. His cheeks flushed pink. He looks so fucking happy.

Mickey smiles and pressed another kiss against Ian’s perfect tummy. 

He’s incredibly happy too.

“Do you love Mickey?”

“I like the way he smells.”

[meta-squash]

(Hi this meta went in a completely different direction than I intended so I’m sorry that it starts off talking about one thing and then derails into gushing about season 5 Mickey.)

We saw in that little scene preview that everyone can fake Frank’s signature (we already knew that) including Mickey.

I was thinking, why would Mickey need to be able to forge Frank’s signature?

And Shameless always throws me off because the writers are so lenient with the timeline, but as far as I know, Ian was still only 17 in season 5. So I bet Mickey learned to forge Frank’s signature to get Ian appointments at the clinic and his meds prescriptions and things like that.

Instead of asking Fiona or Lip or like pretty much any other Gallagher to forge signatures for him, Mickey sat down and practiced Frank’s signature until he could forge it well enough to help get Ian to the doctor.

Season 5 Mickey will always be my favorite Mickey because it’s Mickey who suddenly has a Purpose and really, really grows as a character. He’s still the same gruff, aggressive, slightly dumbass, south side shithead we all know and love, but he also really grows comfortable with himself as a person: he’s suddenly willing and able to express himself in a more gentle way. He’s responsible. He’s dedicated. He’s just a pillar of support for Ian. Like, he’s there going with Ian to his appointments, encouraging Ian to take his meds, buying Ian vitamins, trying to navigate how to give Ian space but also be there for him. Season 5 Mickey is so fuckin’ in love, in a way that’s so different from all the other ways we see him in love with Ian. It’s like, this is the season he realized he didn’t give a shit what was going down, all he wanted was to love Ian and see him happy and safe. Like, seasons 3 and 4 he was definitely in love with Ian, but still guarded (obviously), and still very much driven by his own problems and needs and desires and things. In season 5 he just becomes fucking selfless, but not in a way that sacrifices who he is as a person.

I think a lot about the 2 hugs between Ian and Mickey in 5x06. I don’t think hugging is something that’s a big staple of their relationship, but those two hugs are so intense almost purely because they lack any sexuality whatsoever. At the police station, Mickey’s hug is one of relief tinged with worry. It’s like the worry and terror of Ian being gone bleeds away into relief that he’s here in his arms, but there’s still that worry there of how fucked everything is. And the hug in the hospital is grief and worry, but also I think so much fucking dedication and love. Like, something I think about a lot is that I doubt any Gallagher ever asked to go in with Monica. But Mickey is standing there at Ian’s shoulder, asking to go in with him, asking to be there for him and stand beside him to comfort them both.

But this selflessness means I think that his subsequent freakout is so totally understandable. He’s worried, he’s helpless. Like I’ve said before, Mickey’s love language is acts of service, and when Ian was gone, he couldn’t do anything but sit around. And then he got Ian back, and now, yet again, he can’t do anything but sit around. He can’t help Ian when they’re separated by hospital rules and sedatives and the eyes of other patients and stuff like that. But, also, I think he very much already knows that he’s in it for the long haul. The avoiding the Gallagher house once Ian gets out isn’t Mickey second-guessing or not wanting to see Ian. I think it’s Mickey having absolutely no idea what to expect and being absolutely terrified. Mickey’s not great at going into vulnerable situations blind. His avoidance is him trying not to think about how helpless he feels, about how he has no idea what to do or how to help or what is going on.

Which is why, when they finally get a handle on the situation and decide to go to the clinic to get meds, he becomes so fucking dedicated. He’s clinging to the things he can do to help, he’s trying to figure out how to live with all this new shit, and doing things for Ian like forging Frank’s signature to get meds, and buying him vitamins, and getting him gatorade to take his meds with and stuff is all a part of that. And I think part of that is for Ian, is trying to help Ian, but I also think part of it is for Mickey himself. He’s not going to go around like calling Ian ‘babe’ or whatever or even going around kissing Ian on the cheek in public or being super lovey-dovey. At least at this point. So helping out, doing things for him, is also a way that Mickey can express his love.

I just have a lot of feelings about season 5 Mickey, who knows he’s in love, but is really growing and learning about how he can love.

(And wow this meta took a turn. Originally I just wanted to talk about Mickey forging Frank’s signature. Um. Okay then.)
