Mickey has been working at the garage for a few years already, but somehow the fact that he’s gay, and in a long-term relationship with his high school sweetheart and the love of his life, and that they raise a kid together hasn’t really come up. His coworkers are not going to give up their quest to find out more about their grumpy but beloved friend’s personal life, though – and today might just be the day they’re going to finally push for an answer!
Fics in which we get to witness Mickey interact with people other than Ian are a big weakness of mine, and even more so when these other people know him well and love him just the way he is. Co-workers usually fit this bill, and in this story this is not an exception. The lovely writing and storyline show us, in turn, how much Mick loves Ian and his family with him and Yevgeny, how much Ian is a goner for Mickey, and how Mickey has progressed in his character development. He is proud but brave, and he would do anything to make Ian happy, which provides the catalyst for the climax of the story. The author clearly cares for these characters as much we do, has created some lovely OCs, and has written everything together in a way that makes the reader want more. Go Mick!
