The new “boy next door” is more of a “silver fox next door”. Mickey likes him. And when Mickey likes something, Mickey gets it.
Dear @crossmydna, I cannot write you a story, but I do hope that these five scenes will paint you a satisfactory picture… Happy Gallavich Gift Exchange my love 🩵🧡

Hmmm. I’m thinking about their size difference. Thinking about how Ian is just strong enough to pick Mickey up. It starts as a sex thing, right? Ian bending his knees and leaning back a bit while hooking his arms under Mickey’s legs and bringing them along his back, spreading his palms beneath his shoulders and taking up as much surface area as he can while Mickey clings on for dear life around his neck. I feel like Mickey would complain about it a little, pretending to feel infantilized by that level of manhandling at first. But that would be short-lived, as it’s impossible for him to deny how into that show of strength he is, Ian’s muscles flexing and straining with effort.
But there’s also just something appealing about the feeling of being held up, something about it that makes him feel taken care of. So it keeps happening, Ian occasionally hauling Mickey up off the bed and holding him like that. But then Mickey starts looking for that contact outside of sex too, just enjoying the feeling of being held up in Ian’s arms. He learns that if they’re kissing and he’s got his arms wound around Ian’s neck he can jump up and wrap his legs around Ian’s waist, and Ian will catch him with his hands under his ass and pull him up a bit more, getting his legs wrapped around him more securely. And it just feels nice to be in the air like that, held up just by Ian’s strength, ankles locked behind Ian’s back. It’s a little addictive. So Mickey starts doing it when they’re just flirting and joking around too, jumping up once in a while just to see if Ian can catch him when he’s not expecting it. He always does.
Interview with the Vampire – Ep 9. S2:E6 – FASCINATION AND FRUSTRATION
We’re discussing AMC’s Interview with the Vampire.

Just realized that the reason I love making friends on tumblr is because it’s exactly how you make friends on the playground as a six year old. No, I don’t know their name but they love mermaids too and built this awesome sand castle. No, I don’t know their age but their imaginary cheetah is friends with mine. You like this show? You like this character?? You can sing the theme song really loud??? Here is a flower crown. Here is a juice box. You can share my time and I might never see you again but part of you stays in my soul forever. In my mind we’re still on the swing set and the sky is blue and nothing will ever be wrong again.
This was written for the @galladrabbles prompt from @jessij1997
This song is such a banger and I hadn't listened to it in years. I was more of a Slipknot girlie growing up, so though you could say I was a Corey Taylor fan, this is the only Stone Sour song I know.
I think the song for me gives a great commentary on mental health, and feeling like you're in a rut or on the fringes of something. But there's also the more literal idea of being behind physical glass. So I thought of some canon divergence after 6x03.
Through Glass
"You came back."
The weeks all bleed together, so he isn't sure how much time has passed.
What will kill him first, his broken heart or the relentless monotony?
Ian looks even worse than his last visit. There's nothing Mickey can do, and he hates it.
The scratched-up, finger-smudged glass does nothing to obscure the desolation in Ian's eyes.
“You said I didn't need a list.”
Mickey furrows his brow. But his ribs cave in when he realises what Ian is saying.
I don't know how I never heard this song before, but it was good! Thank you to @jessij1997 for the prompt and @galladrabbles as always. 💜
It felt like a while since I put them in space. Like, at least a couple of weeks, right?!
---
Why Ian notices that particular cryo tube, he couldn't say. But one night as he walks his endless rounds through a thousand passengers, he finds a man he's never met but desperately wants to.
Through frost-rimmed glass he sees black hair, a beautiful face. Ian presses his hand to the front panel, wondering what he's like.
They're crossing stars. The journey might as well take forever. Ian will be going into cryo-stasis soon, too. He might never see this guy again.
Still he hopes. Memorises the details on the side of the pod.
Thank you @atthedugouts for this week’s wonderful @galladrabbles prompt: Reflection.
—————————————————————————
Mickey stares at his reflection in the mirror, long and hard. Scrutinizing his face in a way he rarely does, noticing the signs of age that seem to be creeping up on him a little more each day.
Wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, a permanent reminder of how the skin there crinkles when he laughs.
Faint smile lines at the sides of his mouth. Because he smiles a lot.
At sixteen, he didn’t think he’d live long enough to see wrinkles on his face. So each line is a reminder that he’s still here. Happy. With his husband.
A month ago I went to @deedala because I needed suggestions for (nice, cute, silly) knuckle tattoos.
“So… Mickey is absolutely Franny’s favourite uncle, and I think she regularly asks him to draw knuckle tattoos on her in sharpie. And of course he does it. But he wouldn’t write anything too crass. Also Ian would rip his head off if he did… but also nothing too girly, cause Franny isn’t girly… help?!?”
And because Deanna is a genius she nailed it in under 10 seconds flat, on her first try. So thanks to her I present…

This drawing has been a month long labour of blood, sweat, and tears. Thank you to the @shamelesscreatorsnetwork discord server for ongoing encouragement and kindness.
Not to toot my own horn, but for the last masquerade I wrote a fic called Seven Gallavich Sins that consisted of seven ficlets, each inspired but a different deadly sin, and it got me thinking: there are seven deadly sins, there are seven days in a week... See where I'm going with this? The theme (or themes) for this year's Gallavich Week is Seven Deadly Sins! The fanworks can be as literal or loosely based on the themes as you want. Also, I'll give y'all an extra day to catch up if needed. 😉
GW will run from June 21 to June 28 and the themes for each day are as follows:
21 - Greed
22 - Sloth
23 - Pride
24 - Lust
25 - Wrath
26 - Gluttony
27 - Envy
28 - Catch-up/free space (to post late fanworks for other days or works that don't fit into any day)
As always, all kinds of fanworks are accepted, as long as they are original (obviously, this doesn't apply to things as podfics or stuff based on other fanworks — in this case, as long as the creator of the original fanwork allows it, it's fine). And of course, no AI!
CREATING AND POSTING GUIDELINES (After the break)
How do I participate?
You don’t have to subscribe to anything or announce what you’re doing, you just have to post your work on the appropriate day and tag me on the body of the post using @gallavichthings. It’s important that you tag me properly so that I can be sure to see your post and reblog it.
What types of works are accepted?
Any kind of original fan work is accepted, including but not limited to: fanart, fanfiction (no minimum words required), graphics, gifs and gifsets, videos, and fanmixes. Yes, meta and polls are also accepted (though I do request that you either try to keep them within the theme for each day or post them on the Free Day). You can also remix someone else's work, as long as you have their permission. The use of AI is forbidden.
When can I start posting?
As long as it's already (or still) the correct day for you, post away! Who cares about timezones?
Can I still participate even if I don’t have a Tumblr account?
Absolutely! Just submit something here (http://gallavichthings.tumblr.com/submit).
Can I post on other social media platforms?
You sure can, but I only have Twitter, which I don’t check that often anymore, so I do encourage you to post here as well, so it can be seen by more people.
Is there an AO3 Collection?
Yes, right here. Participation is not mandatory though, and you can rest assured this Collection will not be deleted.
Can I post something that I’ve already posted before?
No, sorry. The works should have been created specifically for GW. You can, however, create a sequel or a different version of a previous work.
Can I post something that is not in English?
Of course. Just make sure that it is original, or that you have the original author’s permission (and, in that case, link to the original too).
Can I make R-rated works?
Yes, just please give any necessary warnings and tell us the rating at the very beginning of the post. If the post is visual (like a fanart or a gifset), it would be nice for you to also tag it accordingly - Tumblr now allowes you to select if a post is deemed for mature audiences or not. It’s not mandatory, but if possible put it under a Read More here on Tumblr and under a spoilers mark (so it’s not instantly visible) on Twitter.
Can I post something that’s AU?
Sure thing! Tag it accordingly though, both for those who want to avoid it and for those who’d like to find it.
Can I post supernatural works, mpreg, genderbends or other more 'niche' content?
Yes! But if it’s a fic, please include it in the warnings.
Can I post more than one work?
Definitely! The more, the merrier. You can post as many works as you want, on as many days as you want, be it one post per day or ten on the same day. Anything goes!
Can I post on more than one day? Do I have to make something for each day?
Again, the more, the merrier! You can post on only one or all days if you wish!
Can I make one work that fits two or more themes?
Sure thing. I only ask that you post it on the day of the last theme included. For example, if you are posting a work that includes the theme from Day 1 and the theme from Day 4, post it on day 4 (just make sure to tell me that it includes both).
Can I write a multi-chaptered fanfiction?
Yes, and you don’t have to post everything either. When you do, just be sure to include either a masterpost, or the links to the previous chapters in the beginning.
Can I include other characters/pairings in my work?
Yes, as long as Gallavich is still the focus.
What if I can’t finish on time?
The Gallavich fandom is ALWAYS happy to see new fan material, so just post it when you’re done and tag me, ok? The same goes for people who can’t finish a work on the assigned theme day; you can still post it on a different day during GW, just make it clear which day it was made for.
not to sound weird but you know that the minute mickey showed up in that prison cell, ian could not stop smelling that motherfucker. started every morning and ended every night inhaling after going so long without him.
just like this! except it’s every minute of the day and mickey is like “cool it with the sniffing, you fucking creep” but he secretly eats it up
