Summary
“Ian, knock it off. It’s fuckin’ stupid okay?” Mickey was getting exasperated sitting back on his heels and finally turning his attention to his husband.
“Never stopped you before,” Ian murmured, just loud enough for the thug to hear which earned him a quick and painful punch on the arm. The ginger recoiled and rubbed at the location of the sudden assault. “Fuck! Ow, Mickeyyy. Can you just say it already, you know I won’t stop until you tell me.”
Mickey pinched the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger, closing his eyes and sighing deeply. “Jesus Christ, fine. But you’re gonna think I’m a pussy.”

Summary
The kid had an attitude. Mickey would have found it impressive for a two year old, if he didn’t have to be the one to put up with her shit during Ian’s brutally long work shifts away from home.
“It’s a good thing I fuckin’ love her,” Mickey had grunted ominously on more than one occasion, usually after he and Ian had finally collapsed on the couch after a two hour screaming fit brought on by the mere mention of bedtime. This statement would typically be followed by something like, “Had an easier time settin’ goddamn violent criminals straight in the joint.”_______
Or, Mickey Milkovich thinks he can pull a fast one on his devious daughter, and things go awry (as expected). What is Ian going to do with them??

Summary
What’s the meaning of life?
Ian has started to realize that there is no all encompassing answer to that question. It’s different for everyone.
His answer is Mickey.
And it’s cheesy as all hell - sounds like a line from a chick flick that even the script writers are ashamed of - but it’s fucking true.

Summary
Mickey shifts his weight and turns to look at him and that’s when Ian can see it written all over his face, adding extra weight to the bags under his eyes.
It’s a look that’s crystal clear.
It’s a look that says, I’ve had a long ass day, full of entitled douchbags and people who just don’t fuckin get me.
Lately, Mickey’s had that look on his face a lot after work. It had to have something to do with slogging it out at a court mandated nine to five where your literal job description is to be the felon who chases down and roughs up the assholes no one else wants to deal with. Ian is as sympathetic as he can be, and he tries not to remind Mickey that at least he almost never gets pissed or puked on.
“Hey,” Mickey lifts his beer in salute and takes a sip and Ian can practically feel the need radiating off of him, even though Mickey’s fighting to keep balanced.
“Put that shit down. Now.” Ian orders as he kicks his work boots off and stalks around the couch he’s well aware of what his husband needs, and even after his own gruelling work shift, he’ll be damned if he doesn’t give it to him.

Summary
Ian blows out a loud breath and taps at the bottom of the steering wheel with his long fingers. “I guess the reason I ask if you’ve been thinking about Svet is because… well, I’ve been thinking about Svet. I mean, not just Svet… mostly Yevgeny.”
Mickey’s mouth goes dry, even though he suspected that this is where the conversation was headed. It is uncomfortable to hear a name he had not said out loud for several years. Especially that name. Mickey doesn’t say anything. He’s not sure what to say.

When an unexpected conversation and some demons get dredged up, Mickey makes a difficult decision in order to gain control over his traumatic past.Series

Summary
“Fuck. I know, I’m sorry Mick.” Ian apologizes. Since they’ve been married for nearly a year and a half now, he’s gotten slightly better at admitting he’s wrong right away, instead of playing a few dozen rounds of the blame game before coming to the same conclusion anyway. “I was trying to figure out how to tell you without scaring the shit outta you.”
“How about- ‘Yo, I’m seeing my dead mom alive and in the fuckin’ flesh over here’. That woulda worked.” Mickey rolls his eyes, but Ian doesn’t take it personally. He knows by now how Mickey shows that he’s concerned- it’s passive aggressive, with an emphasis on aggressive- but it’s a very Mickey type of care and Ian’s learned to love it.

Another window into Ian and Mickey’s marriage. How they’re working with the realities of Ian’s disorder, and how they’re dealing with their traumatic histories- both shared and separate. Prescriptions, parents, and possibilities.Series

Summary
Ian makes eye contact with his daughter, and she shrinks under his gaze.
“Have a seat.” He entones.
Moni hangs her head and does as she’s told- it’s not her strong suit, but she’s pretty sure she doesn’t want to make her dad any more furious than he already clearly is, if only to prevent his head from literally imploding in on itself. She plops herself down in the seat and folds her arms across her chest on instinct, watching as Ian circles around silently until he’s standing in front of her, in the middle of the kitchen, as if he’s on stage.
Pops always says Dad is dramatic, Moni muses, but wisely, she refrains from cracking a smile at the thought.

Ian discovers what Moni has been doing behind his back, and flips out before he can think it through. Mickey is the one who has to put out the fire and make things right between his husband and daughter.Series

Summary
Suddenly, Moni’s face buckles up in concentration- her fine blond eyebrows scrunch together on her forehead and Ian thinks she’s either about to need a major diaper change, or something new is happening in her little brain that requires one-hundred and ten percent of her focus and attention. Mickey recognizes the change immediately and begins to whack at Ian’s thigh below his daughter's line of sight.
“Ian!” Mickey hisses out of the corner of his mouth. “Video!”

Summary
“Okay I think I bought us some time,” Ian’s voice is still hushed and breathless and he tries not to get his long legs tangled up in sweatpants as he frantically kicks them off and away. He’s on the bed and shimmying towards Mickey in the blink of an eye. “I just held her and rocked her- we fed her like half an hour ago and her diaper was clean so-”
“Fuck yeah, talk dirty to me!” Mickey taunts, and flicks on the baby monitor once again- just in case. Ian swats at him before grabbing his thighs, dragging Mickey down onto his back until Ian is looming over him. He opens his mouth, as if to respond, but Mickey decides quickly that he’s been waiting long enough.

Mickey forgot their anniversary- or did he?
___________________________________________________Mickey grunted out a muffled goodbye and watched Ian leave. The minute that he could no longer hear Ian’s footsteps thumping down the stairs, Mickey threw his phone to the side and hopped up off of the bed, snickering to himself rather manically.

Summary
Mickey couldn’t help it. He just didn’t get it. He didn’t get what was so fucking great about having somebody’s mouth attached to your asshole like a suckerfish, he didn’t get what could be accomplished by a person’s tongue that couldn’t be exponentially improved upon by an actual cock. Whenever it happened in porn, Mickey would always skip it. It seemed boring to him- the guys getting munched on always acted like they were actively experiencing some sort of goddamn spiritual enlightenment or some other far out type of shit. He was pretty much convinced they had to be faking it. It couldn’t be that fucking good… could it?

Summary
After the third beer, Mickey was forced to lean against the counter, allowing it to support his weight as his mind spiraled entirely out of control and his breathing became increasingly shallow.
His chest ached like it had been stomped on, and his hands shook like maracas, forcing him to try lightening a cigarette nearly four times before he succeeded.
Mickey had cleared half of it in one drag, before violently yanking open one of the kitchen drawers and getting his hand on the loaded .22 within.
Terry Milkovich was fucking dead.Series

Summary
After such an arduous day at work, it only registered to Mickey that something was off when Ian dropped his foot on the gas and sped past the road they would typically turn down to head back home.
Mickey practically did a double take, watching the crooked signpost that read N. Wallace disappeared in the ambulances rear view.
“Uh…” Mickey gave his husband a look of total incredulity, which was met with nothing more than a wide grin from Ian. “The fuck are you doin’?”

Summary
Mickey eyed his husband, curious about what had him smiling so wide, but as soon as the first notes of the music began to play, there was no doubt what song had him so giddy. Mickey would have recognized the song anywhere, and he grinned back at Ian with the same type of softness that he had on the day he walked down the aisle. Moni was climbing all over him, unable to stay still as usual. Once the music began to play, she glanced between her fathers, confused.
“What’s this song?” Moni asked.

Moni picks up a new habit that Ian and Mickey aren't too thrilled about, and she's being quite the thorn in their side.
_____________________________
“Even Papa calls you Ian!” Moni concluded, pointedly resting her back against Ian’s ribs and pushing her feet into Mickey’s all in one go - taking up an enormous amount of couch despite being so small.
“Yeah, ‘cause they’re big people. Grown-ups. You’re my kid, so what are you supposed to call me?” He tried a different tactic, while wrapping his arm around her chest and dropping a kiss to the top of her head.
“IAAAAAAAN!” Moni squawked.Series

Summary
“Hurry your ass up.” Mickey insisted, slamming the door and circling the van. “I wanna get in and get out so we can get this shit over with.”
Now that they had arrived, Ian was a bit more nervous about the scheme he’d laid out. He glanced up at the furniture store before shifting his gaze to the side, eyeing the little yoga studio three doors down. It was now or never. He flung his door open and held a hand out in Mickey’s direction like a goddamn princess. “I mean, the least you could do is help me out of the car, if you’re in such a rush.” Distraction tactic number one - convincing Mickey that he was upset.

Summary
Ian’s words from the previous night came back to him, buzzing in his ear like the world’s most annoying and insistent mosquito.
Liam’s going through some shit right now.
He needs us.
Mickey blew out a breath and flipped his key ring around his finger. “You comin’ or what?”
Liam perked up. “Huh?”
Mickey opened his front door and propped it with his foot, snatching a few disposable masks from the little stand Ian had placed by the door, cramming them into his pocket carelessly. “You can come with me. Ya know, if you want.” Mickey offered. “I mean unless you got somethin’ better to do.”

Summary
Of course, Mickey wasn’t crazy enough to actually go through with non-consensually sawing off a good portion of Ian’s hair, but he figured it was worth a shot if only to make his point crystal clear.
Ian went on the defensive immediately. “Why the fuck are you like this?” He whined, dragging the same hand from his hair, straight down the length of his face, before giving the grown-out stubble on his chin a little scratch.
“You look like a fuckin’ Viking.” Mickey shrugged, snipping the air several times with the scissors to emphasize his intentions.
________________________________________Ian’s hair is getting long during quarantine and Mickey thinks he should do something about it. Needless to say, that shit goes over like a ton of bricks.
