kinda a long shot but i’m tryna find an old fic: i only remember the beginning but it involved mickey faking his death, and he was supposed to tell ian before he heard the news, but police came to ian’s house and told him mickey was dead so he didn’t know it was fake and thought he was really dead (they later reunite in a van or something because the people that work for him had to fake kidnap ian to reunite them? )
Hey... It seems like maybe a mix of several fics?
Mickey fakes his death in Sometimes something like fate exists and before he can tell Ian, Ian hears about it in the police report on the news while he’s at home with Fiona.
The second part of it sounds like Love Like Winter, the kidnapping and the reunion in the van, but without the fake death aspect.
Mickey also fakes his death in 100 letters - When Ian hears the news of Mickey's death 7 months after leaving him at the Mexican border, he goes into a bipolar episode that seems like he may never recover from. But when envelopes of money show up for him he starts to rethink the possibility that Mickey is actually gone.
But I think what you’re thinking is the mix of the first two fics :)
