Hello, lovelies! It's time for another Gallavich Week. This time: bingo edition!
The 2024 Gallavich Week will be held between June 24th and June 30th. As this time it's a bingo, there will be no assigned theme for each day, meaning you can post your works on any day during that week.
Guidelines and cards after the read more because this post ended up way too long. ^_^
Some general rules:
There are four cards (at the end of this post): one/two-word prompts, dialogue prompts, tropes, and art and other medias. You can post something from just one or all of them. You can also use more than one prompt in the same work. There's no minimum or limit to the number of works you can post.
All kinds of fanworks are accepted (fic, art, videos, gifs, analysis, crafts... anything), as long as they're original. (Unless they're a re-imagining of another work, in which case please also mention it when you post and get authorization first if the original isn't yours.)
AI is not accepted!
No sign-ups required. Just post and tag me. :)
Here is the AO3 community, for those who wish to use it.
Don't forget to tag me using @ at the body of the post so that I can see it and reblog it (you can do it after a read more or by reblogging if you wish to "hide" it). Also, please indicate clearly which prompt(s) was/were used.
Some suggestions, which are not rules but do help with posting:
If you're posting a long fic in its entirety here on Tumblr, please use a read more and/or tag it "long post".
If you're posting nsfw art here, please use the community guidelines to inform so.
If you post more than one work on AO3, I suggest making different works, and not just different chapters of one single work. This helps with tagging, both for those who want to find your work and for those who might want to avoid something. It also helps when people don't have to comb through several chapters to find what they're looking for. If you want to connect your works, you can put them all under a series. And yes, this is also valid for drabbles and art.
There are no prizes for this bingo, but those who make a bingo get bragging rights (and a special shout out - just let me know you've done it because I'm likely to miss it).
BINGO: 3 cells in a row (vertically, horizontally, or diagonally).
SUPER BINGO: 3 cells in a row in two cards.
ULTRA BINGO: 3 cells in a row in three or four cards (are you ok?).
UBER BINGO: All the 9 cells of the same card.
SUPREME BINGO: All 9 cells of the same card in two different cards (good luck with that).
EXTREME BINGO: All 9 cells of the same card in three different cards (seriously, are you ok? Is this worth it?).
ULTIMATE BINGO: All 9 cells of the same card in ALL of the four different cards (you get ALL the bragging rights!!! But also, please rest).
And now, the cards:
EDIT: forgot to mention, by Taste of Chicago I mean this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taste_of_Chicago
And Starry Night is, indeed Van Gogh's painting. And yes, Final Fantasy the video game.
I think the rest is quite obvious, but let me know if you have any questions.
Unfortunately, the author of this sweet and kind story doesn't have a profile on tumblr yet, so I can't tag her. Nevertheless, I recommend everyone to read this amazing fic!
I'm fucking inspired by Mickey with a guitar, my friends ♥♥♥♥♥

Prompts for fics, headcanons, or discussion, art, etc. Interpret these however you like and feel free to use them as just a jumping off point, you don’t have to stick to the exact prompt! If any fics like any of these have already been written, please feel free to recommend them to me!
Mickey’s injured badly in 3x05 and ends up hospital rather than the Gallagher kitchen. As he’s unconscious, Ian is desperate to be able to stay with him. So, he accidentally refers to Mickey as his boyfriend and is allowed to stay in the hospital room. Ian’s hoping Mickey will allow him to help him as he heals but what will Mickey do when he wakes?
Ian doesn’t go straight to jail after blowing up the van, he ends up in hospital with burn injuries. When Mickey learns of this, he knows he’s going to have to turn himself in and cut a deal to somehow get back to Ian. But first…he’s gotta get back to Chicago and sneak in the hospital at least once, just to see if Ian’s ok.
Mickey gets out of jail quickly in s6 but doesn’t get back into contact with Ian. He comes up with a very lucrative money-making scam - he signs up to an escort company & poses as an escort on their app. Then when he meets up with men, he robs them and threatens to blackmail them if they report him. Somehow, Ian discovers Mickey on this app and he’s worried. He thinks Mickey is actually working as escort and he’s concerned. He creates a fake profile to try and see if Mickey’s ok and safe. But as they talk via the app, Mickey starts to like this new guy - he’s funny, good at sexting, kind - and he doesn’t know if he wants to rob this guy. What happens when they do meet up?
Mickey doesn’t think, he just runs - from his dad, from the wedding to Svetlana, from his whole fucked up life. Ian is devastated that Mickey has left but glad that he hasn’t gone through with the wedding. But he can’t let him go off like this. After months, he finally tracks him down - living in another city, under a different name, building a whole new life for himself. Ian thinks they finally have a chance of happiness together but Mickey is still scared and pushes him away….However, Ian’s never given up completely on Mickey so far, and he’s not going to start now.
S4. Ian is offered a opportunity that seems too good to be true by one of his regulars at the club - an apartment with discounted rent on the West Side. When he reconnects with Mickey, he’s excited about the deal and he wants to take it. Mickey, just glad to have found Ian, goes along with it…but is the apartment as good as it looks?
Ian never blows up the van, never becomes Gay Jesus. He does go through a difficult period. He struggles with his medication but slowly begins to get back to feeling like himself. He realises he needs Mickey. Without telling anyone, he decides to take a trip to Mexico - with no plan apart from seeing what it’s like there. It’s a big place, he’s never gonna find Mickey. He doesn’t expect to, he just wants to feel close to him. But then…he sees a familiar face…..or at least…he thinks he does.
Everything’s the same up to the middle of season two - when both the Gallagher and the Milkovich kids are taken into foster care. Ian and Mickey end up in the same foster home, separated from their siblings but both secretly pleased they’ve ended up together. Suddenly, they’re in a nice home with kind foster parents. Oh yeah, and they get to share a bedroom….
Terry, angry that Mickey is out of prison and living with Ian at the Gallagher house, kills Paula and frames Mickey. The police fall for it and arrest Mickey, who promises Ian he’s innocent. Ian believes Mickey but when the police don’t and it looks like Mickey’s going back to prison for a long time - Ian decides to play detective and find the real killer….
Ian really can’t sneak out from the group home in s3 and he has to turn down the sleepover. When Terry comes home early, Mickey realises he and Ian could have been caught. It puts a lot of things into perspective.
After their hookup in s1, Ian finds himself a little bit obsessed with Mickey. Which is why he’s secretly following him to the abandoned buildings. He expects Mickey to shoot cans or something but instead he spies him prying a brick out of the wall and pulling out a battered notebook. Later, when Mickey leaves, Ian goes and retrieves the notebook. In it, he finds drawings and notes - a journal of sorts. As their relationship progresses, he keeps secretly checking the notebook to find out Mickey’s true thoughts.
Post s6. Ian knows Mickey is out of jail but he hasn’t seen him. He keeps thinking he’ll run into him around the neighbourhood. The last place Ian expects to see Mickey is in the waiting room of his therapist’s office. Apparently a condition of Mickey’s release is therapy. It’s all awkward looks as Ian leaves and Mickey goes in. But slowly, they begin to reconnect….
S10. Ian has a good parole officer who gets him a receptionist/admin job at a private clinic on the West Side. It’s not exactly what he had in mind but he’ll take it. Only thing is, there’s a familiar face who works at the clinic - Ned. Mickey isn’t pleased with this but Ian wants to keep the job. But as time goes on, he starts to realise how bad his earlier relationship with Ned was….
3x05. Ian doesn’t think about the consequences when he sees the drunk lady with the shotgun. He just runs as fast as he can and tackles Mickey out of the way. And gets himself shot in the ass. Ian tries to play it off, to act like he would have done it for anyone. But that’s obviously not true. Mickey is in shock, not only seeing Ian get shot but knowing the reason why. It changes everything.
Ian is set on joining the army but a chance meeting with Clayton stops him. Although Clayton doesn’t know Ian well, he realises something is wrong and offers him a place to stay. Ian accepts and over time opens up to his biological father about his relationship with Mickey. Wanting to make up for all the lost years, Clayton decides to play matchmaker and find Mickey - hoping to bring him and Ian back together. But it’s not that easy.
They get married at city hall. And it’s all good. For a minute. An attempt on Mickey’s life by the cartel leads them into witness protection. They’re told it’ll be temporary but it’s not easy when they’re sent to a random town and given new identities. Can their new marriage survive all this drama?
So, after a rather long downtime during which I was struggling with the effects of Covid, I'm finally back to creating again ♥ You all may notice that I've decided to change my style a bit, particularly my color palette. I hope it looks as good as it did before :)
I was lucky enough to see the outline of this artwork before it was completed, and I had 1000 thoughts of the story behind it 🤔
When I sat down to write, I was watching Season 11, and this was the end result 😅
Back to Back, they faced each other
(655 words, under the cut)
“I can’t fucking believe that your fucking family are doing this to us again!” Ian spat. “Bad enough they mugged us the first time, now these motherfuckers are trying it again?”
“Don't try to blame this shit on me, Bitch”, Mickey ground out. “Lou has had it in for you since you made fun of his shitty tattoos at Thanksgiving last year.”
“Who the fuck gets their own name tattooed on themselves? Fucking narcissistic pussy ass bitch. But I’m pretty sure he’s more mad at you for stealing this gun and giving it to me for Christmas.”
“There is no proof that it's the same gun! He did a shitty job of filing off the serial numbers, so I tidied it up and figured it was a great gift - better than them using it to play fucking Russian Roulette and getting the sidewalk all brainy and shit. Not that that asshole has much brain to spread!”
“Yeah, well you taunting him and suggesting that he report the stolen gun to the police wasn’t your greatest idea, Mick.”
“Oh yeah? Well you suggesting that he tattoo ‘ise’ on his other hand so he could double fist his cock and say his girlfriend fucked him last night was pointless because no-one would believe his pin dick needed more than 2 fingers and a thumb didnt exactly improve his mood, Ian!”
Lou and his goons stood before them, guns fisted tightly in their hands, slack jawed at the scene in front of them.
“Would you two please shut the fuck up and hand over the cash?” Lou demanded, eyes flickering between the two men who were back to back, with their own guns drawn.
“Shut the fuck up, Lou!” Ian and Mickey say in unison. Mickey glances over his shoulder, smirking at his red head, eye twitching and a small shudder rushing down his neck as he catches sight of the hideous tattoo on Ian’s shoulder.
Lou falters slightly, elbow dropping as he lowers his gun, aiming at Ian’s crotch. “I said hand over the money! I will shoot your dick off!”
Mickey rolls his eyes. “You wouldn’t get a fuckin’ marksmans medal for hittin’ that huge target, brainiac.”
“Mick, can you please stop talking about how big his dick is? We heard enough about it when you got drunk last Thanksgiving. My girlfriend is still talking about it” Lou pleaded. “Just give us the money and we can all go about our day.”
“One, I will never stop talking about how big his dick is, it takes a real man to take that donkey-dick up the shitter, and two, its Saturday, asshole. We aren’t delivering today. Do we look like we’re workin’?”
Lou’s eyes flicker over the pair, taking in their tank tops, shorts and flip flops, his hand holding the gun swinging down to his side in defeat.
“Saturday?” Lou looks around, looks at his bare wrist where a watch would sit on anyone else, then glances up at the sky. “I thought it was Thursday?”
“Jesus fuck, Lou. I know someone pissed in your gene pool, but if you were half as smart as you think you are, you’d be twice as smart as you really are.”
Ian snickers, lowering his gun and turning to sling an arm over Mickey’s sweaty shoulder. “C’mon Babe, let's go. I promised Carl that I wouldn't let you shoot anyone in broad daylight. I didn't say anything about me shooting anyone though.”
Mickey slips his hand around Ian’s waist, resting his thumb inside the waistband of his shorts. “Bye Lou.” He calls over his shoulder. “I’d say it was good to see you, but it wasn’t.”
Lou looks down at his feet, pretending that he can't hear the snickering of his goons. He waits until the two men are out of earshot, and mutters “Fuckin’ Mickey. Imma throw his car keys on top of the refrigerator next time I see him.”
“Would you two please shut the fuck up and hand over the cash?” Ha ha… That sounded so polite 😂
I fucking love everything you write, darling. And I'm fucking proud that my artwork inspires you ♥
This is fanart, and it is meant to be fun and so doesn't exactly follow standard art etiquette. That said, if you are going to post art that is traced, it is best practice to admit as much. There's no shame in using it as a learning tool or stepping stone, but making no acknowledgement of it can come off as misleading as viewers are likely to assume the art was hand sketched.
Thank you for making that observation to me. However, I never said I considered myself a true artist. I continue to report, whenever possible, that I can't draw from scratch. But I no longer use AI when creating my artwork and I have talked about that as well. I have photoshop and a graphics tablet that I use. I also never use my artwork as a source of income, because I don't think it's right in my case, precisely for the reason that I do NOT draw from scratch. I hope my answer satisfied you at least partially :) Have a nice day ♥
I can't make up my mind if I'm lucky or not lol….. But in my case, it's Ian. And it's a damn hard choice, because I REALLY don't want to kill Ian. And I definitely wouldn't marry him because, well, because I doubt he'd like it. Just like he wouldn't enjoy fucking me. Nevertheless, sorry babe, but I will fuck you. Please don't tell Mickey 😅😅
So, after a rather long downtime during which I was struggling with the effects of Covid, I'm finally back to creating again ♥ You all may notice that I've decided to change my style a bit, particularly my color palette. I hope it looks as good as it did before :)

I love Mickey's muscles, but I can't stop thinking about Ian in the pool in S11.
Thanks @galladrabbles and @blue-disco-lights for the amazing prompt this week ♥
Mindlessly watching random videos on his phone, Mickey thinks about what his life has become. He thinks about the way Ian's muscles glistened, covered in drops of water from the pool.
Fucking asshole. How only he manages to look appropriate always and everywhere? While Mickey...
He doesn't risk looking up right away when the door to the Gallagher boys' old bedroom opens. The last thing he needs right now is to see the disappointment on his husband's face. But when he looks at Ian, all he sees is concern and puppy-like devotion.
