Author’s summary: “The thing is, everybody knew Lip could be cruel, rude, selfish. Lip was bad at loving people. Lip took from people and only gave back a little. Lip was shitty at relationships. Lip couldn’t keep friends to save his life. Lip never met a teacher he didn’t despise. Lip practically spat at strangers. But his family was supposed to be the exception: Ian, more than anyone, was supposed to be the exception.” Rewrite of the Ian and Lip scene in 5x09. Lip reflects on his and Ian's relationship, and promises to be better.
