Thoughts: It's so hard to find a good Gallavich multi-chaptered fic and I'm so glad to have found this. This fic is brilliant albeit being a bit dark at time. It is from Ian's POV and we see his process of getting to know Mickey and how he works. It slow build romance as we see how Ian deals with a tough unemotable Mickey and it's beautiful! I cried so much in this fic and the ending just BLOW MY MIND! I was so afraid it's going to be a bad ending but it's not the case. I cried like a baby towards the end in a awesomely painful way where you hurt but it also makes a part of you glow inside. This is a must-read! Mickey is so awesome in this fic I cannot even begin to describe it.
