hello guys! I know you’ve answered about fics featuring shy/insecure Mickey, but do you know any AUs (like, not canon divergence, but really completely AUs) that have really OOC Mickey, where he is less sassy/brave and rather shy and sweet? I really would love some interesting alternative stories about these boys…
Sending you love for what you guys doing!!!!!💛
Hey :) Thanks for the love ❤️ Generally, our faves tend to be more in character portrayals, but sometimes it can be fun to play around with their characterization. So, we tried to think of some fics that are ooc, but not in an offensive way(!), just for the sake of the plot:
Like Real People Do - Mickey is socially anxious. Ian is a frustratingly lovable escort working through an app. Mickey downloads said app. The rest is history.
On Samhain Eve - Witchcraft AU. For the rest of the world it's called Halloween, but for witches like Ian and Mickey it's Samhain.
The Tension & The Spark - Mickey is left alone with baby Yev. His electricity supply is cut off. Life isn’t going well for him. Enter Ian: perfect stranger, call center worker and the guardian angel Mickey needs.
Damaged - In which instead of Terry's abuse making Mickey stronger it made him...weak.
Sugar and Smoke Rings - At nearly 27 years old Mickey is living his dream with his own baking show and thousands of fans. Except Mickeys got a little bit of a hole in his chest that can't be filled by blueberry cupcakes and corny Netflix comedy specials.
Geek Mickey series - Mickey finally speaks to his favorite dancer and it turns out better than he imagined.
We also think that the nerd Mickey ask we answered fits this category.
