you wanna fucking die

Engraved in my Skin by TheHedgehogSong

Summary: Mickey had woken up one day his ankle throbbing painfully. He looked down at the ankle and his heart stops. 'Ian'. “No.” He whispered. “No, no no no no!” He rubbed frantically at the name but nothing happened. It wasn’t some cruel prank. It was permanent. No, he couldn’t have a soul mate mark. He definitely couldn’t have a soul mate mark that was a boy’s name. He could feel tears welling up, he wasn’t going to cry though, he was a fucking Milkovich and Milkovich’s did not cry.

Words: 2799

Thoughts: Sorry for all the soulmate au spam but I was in a soulmate au binge/mood. But why are they all so heartwrenching?? Can't I have a fluffy soulmate au where no one is having a hard time? Mickey being a Milkovich kind of squashed that I guess. But yeah this fic is heartbreakingly good, with bipolar Ian. I cried a lot. Again.

I Can Do Bad All By Myself by brokenpromisesandhope

Summary: Soulmate AU where once both parties turned fifteen, any mark that appears on one body, will appear on the other.

Words: 6945

Thoughts: tHIS. fUCKING. fIC. Trigger warning alert like massively for self harm. This fic breaks my heart into a million tiny pieces. Mickey is such a tortured soul here and Ian just wanting to help but could not is making me scream in anguish like the motherload of angst??? Jfc tears fell like river with this one even my family were like wtf? Though it hurts, you find yourself wanting to still read this because it hurts in ways that you can relate, in a way (i dont self harm- don't worry) but the universal helplessness and wanting things to be better and wanting to believe and hope ugh this soulmate au thingy is going to be the end of me. End with a hopeful note - no major character death so don't worry. Ian makes me cry god he's an angel.

Summary: AU. Yevgeny Milkovich tries to play One-Night-Stand-Cupid to get his dad in bed with his hot gay English teacher, Mister Ian Gallagher.

Words: 40995 (WIP updating regularly)

Thoughts: Jinko is the writer of Secret, the very kinky Gallavich fic which never fail to leave me breathless. And now she's is writing this adorable fluffy fic with 14 year olf Yev, a fully flesh out character of his own. I already fell for this angel jfc. This is so well written and I am scrambling for more. The anticipation between Mickey and Ian is unbearable, like WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO GET TOGETHER??? Update: Chapter 3. If only more kids are like Yev and more parents are like the Walkers, the world would be such a better place.

Firebird by thewriterofperfectdisasters

Summary: Mickey Milkovich is a struggling artist in New York City. He likes mythology, people watching, and expensive paint. He doesn't like asshole customers, getting paint in his hair, or the way that redheaded guy always sits by himself on the train.

Thoughts: This fic makes me grin like a maniac! Ian is so dorky here and his crush on Mickey is so adorable plus his awkward flirting and lines GOD! And Mickey trying to make it seem nonchalant but is actually so obvious LOVING THIS FIC! Though chapter 1 is all about Mickey and how he leave the South Side and only met Ian at the end of the chapter. Chapter 2 onwards is precious!

Maybe I'll Be Bulletproof by missmichellebelle

Summary: “There was—there was a man, dressed all in black, and he wore a mask, and he stood up and they shot him, they shot him! And he didn’t stop! He just kept going for them and when all of them were knocked out, he told us to run!”

“It was terrifying, like, how could someone like that be human?”

“I mean, yeah, it was pretty scary, but he saved our lives, you know? I’d rather be freaked out by a guy taking like fifteen bullets to the chest than fearing for my life.”

Just like that, suddenly everyone is talking about the vigilante, only now people are using words like superhero.

Words: 11979

Thoughts: The things this FIC is making my face do OHGOD I cannot take the fluff I'm full on squiggling and rolling in bed getting tangled in my blanket Jesus I LOVE LOVE LOVE this fic fromt he oh-so-very-talented-writer who's dedicating her September to blessed us with her Tropetember Gallavich fics! Superhero!Mickey retains his grumpy grandpa outlook on things which is so adorable - a word that was used to describe Mickey in the fic (spot on!). And Ian is just being such a dorky clumsy wear-his-heart-on-his-sleeve human being, I will literally combust with the fluffiness of it all!

Fractured Moonlight by missmichellebelle

Summary: Red hair that twists and waves in the movement of the water, features so angular that Mickey can only identify them as alien, and a pale naked torso that disappears into a long, scaled fish tail. It’s a fucking mermaid.

Words: 5818

Thoughts: This is part of the Tropetember series and what can I say? Mermaid!Ian for godsake, do you know how awesome that is? Among the series this fic is the one that most haunts me because the interaction between Mickey and Ian though nonverbal, but the tension! I even feel the strain in my eyeballs reading it because of how tense and deep Ian's stare is I LOVE IT! And the prospect of the etheral state of Ian (I mean that boy is just beautiful and I can just perfectly picture him as a mermaid) just makes me love him more. His childlike wonder, his obvious joy and excitement when Mickey is around, just everything about that fic blows my mind and best part? I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE IT'S GOING! I've talked to the author and she said that this fic is definitely one which she is going to continue after tropetember!

Is There A Mirror In Your Pants? (I Think I Can See Myself In Them) by joidianne4eva

Summary: “Hey Mickey, could you look over there?” Ian asked and Mickey frowned but turned to see what the redhead was pointing at.

“Jesus, look at that ass!”

Mickey could feel every muscle in his body lock at the words while Mandy cackled like a fucking hyena.

“Ian fucking Gallagher…” he started as he turned back around but the blinding grin on Ian’s face made the insult, he’d been meaning to give, die on his tongue.

“My middle name’s not fucking but for you it could be,” Ian muttered, looking damn proud of himself despite Mickey’s glare.

Words:1063

Thoughts: THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A FLUFFY FIC BUT WHY ARE THERE TEARS IN MY EYES? This fic is perfect! It's so short and yet it encompassed everything I love in Gallavich. Dorky!Ian and Blushing!Mickey fuck, too adorable for words I almost puke but at the same time it's so tear jerking fuckity fuck! I love it!

Lost in Translation by Shamelessquestions (KagekitsuneXXX)

Summary: “Okay, I realize that we have a bit of a communication problem here, but where would we be as a global community if we gave up every time two people met who didn’t understand each other?”

Words: 3506

Thoughts: This fic is too adorable with a totally awesome and ohmygod moment plot twist!!! Of course from the famed author in the Shameless fandom for "Sexual Harrassment in the Workplace", the humor and the writing is just so good! Although it's a short fic I literally laugh out loud at a certain part. I'm not going to spoil it but read this fic if you're looking to pass your time with a short fic and you won't be disappointed!

Fake It Till You Make It by missmichellebelle

Summary: “Remember that one time you asked me to do that thing for you, and I never asked any questions, and you didn’t explain a fucking thing, but I did it anyway? Do you remember what you said? That you owed me? Big time? I'm calling in that favor.” In which Ian did a stupid thing and Mickey is there to bail him out. What are best friends for, right?

Kaleidoscope by thewriterofperfectdisasters (aka im-not-his-keeper)

Summary: Mickey Milkovich is a history teacher. Ian Gallagher is a student in one of his classes. Hijinks will ensue!

Words: 40510

Thoughts: Mickey is a History teacher and despite his occupation he is not OOC at all in my book. He retain the Milkovich mojo and gente thug hands when it comes to Ian. Seriously one of the best au (with canon elements) I've ever read that tells the story of how Ian and Mickey met, fall in love and live happily ever after. Oh don't doubt for a moment that there's no angst BECAUSE THERE IS! Cried like a bay in the train (of course the angst has to be there when I'm reading it in a public train). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED PEOPLE!!!

Rookie Mistakes by delgay

Summary: Ian Gallagher is the right wing to Mickey's left defenseman, so it's not even that weird when Mickey makes a point to learn everything he possibly can about the kid. Really. (professional hockey au)

Words: 31056

Thoughts: I love sports!AU because of the high tempo high aggression and just enemy at first sight but then fall mushily in love god I love this scenario! The tension between Ian and Mickey on ice could cut you in half! Left me struggling for breathe honestly! And the smut in this fic! Glorious! Lots and lots of smut and sweet times and then there's the aggression again! Awesome read! Lots of silly!Ian as well and I love his goofiness and just being adorably silly GOD! Still WIP but author is still updating! Can't wait!
