ian x mickey - ‘forever meant nothing when we had nothing’
Ian Gallagher has resided to the fact that he’s going to spent the rest of his life a fuck up, in a shitty diner job, with no future and a bipolar diagnosis following him wherever he goes.
Mickey Milkovich is likely to spend the next ten years locked up, for something that wasn’t even his fault, as far away as from Ian Gallagher as he could be.
But things don’t always go the way we expect, and maybe, just maybe, the two can find their way back to each other again.
so, I’ve been rewatching shameless and thought it would be interesting to write about if mickey had stayed in s6 (still in prison) bc I was distraught when I first watched it. sort of follows the s6 timeline but with some changes. some angst but an eventually happy ending - enjoy :)
