Ian murmurring "I love you so much," to a very feverish Mickey, while he is taking care of him, like a profession he can't helps to repeat, like a conforting mantra for both of them, is one of the most soft thing I've ever read in a Gallavich fanfic. Thank you very much @Pillow_Bee for writting and sharing, "Each one believing that love never dies." It's amazing and hearthwarming.
imagine you’re the neighbor opposite gallavich post canon; what do you spy from across your window?👀
"Oh! The boys? The couple who just moved in? Yeah they're a bit weird and loud, but they're mostly harmless. Most times they hang out the balcony, just to judge the pool-goers downstairs. And..."
"...More than once, I caught them getting high together while wearing camos and bullet-proof vests. Not sure what that's about -- but they're real giggly when they're high!!"
"And the big beefy ginger one is kinda into gardening -- some herbs, some flowers, but mostly tomatoes. He talks and even sings to them sometimes."
("He's um. Mostly off-key, but. I guess it's the thought that counts, huh?")
"Come tax season, the grouchy one sometimes escapes out into the balcony with their laptop and a shit ton of paperwork. He'll smoke like a chimney and chug close to ten energy drinks a night while he's at it. And then they'll argue. A lot. God, those two will yell at each other like they own the whole goddamn apartment complex or somethin'!"
"...And all that yelling would, um, inevitably lead to a face-off. Sometimes they tussle -- and they don't hold back, lemme tell ya!! I once saw the grouchy one break the nose of the ginger one, I had half a mind to call the cops!!"
"But, most times, they resolve their arguments... well... In other ways..."
"What?? You asked!! And they NEVER seemed bothered that everyone and their moms can see them bang out in the balcony! And---"
"--This? This is not what you think. I uuuuhh... I mean..."
Early-seasons Gallavich getting a lil' Genghis Khan about each other.
Here is my first ever fanvid!!! (˶ ° ᵕ ° ˶ );;;
I absolutely LOVE watching fanvids and have mad respect for those creative enough to make them on the regular.
I've never made one before ever in my life because I feel like video-editing is a whole 'nother ballgame (different from making fanarts or writing fanfics) -- but thanks to the Gallavich Newbies Week 2026 hosted by @gallavichthings , I finally challenged myself and tried my hand at it 🎉
The song is "Genghis Khan" by Miike Snow, and I think the lyrics fit first-seasons Gallavich so much so that's the one I went with!
Narrowing down the scenes to use was a ✨process✨ because I kept getting distracted and ended up downloading loads more screencaps than I needed 😅
Anyway! I'm pretty happy with the end result, even if I can't quite get the pacing right and I didn't get to use all the clips/scenes I wanted lol
I hope you enjoyed watching the vid as much as I enjoyed making it!! 🩵🧡🖤♥️
(PS: I hope the post & vid are OK, I am doing all this on my phone lol so apologies for any wonkyness in advance!!)
plot twist: mickey and alan (the westside neighbour) get along surprisingly well. so much so that mick tries to impart some of that southside wisdom one day.
