Oh Mickey and Ian. Was there ever a relationship as deeply fucked up as this one?
I love best friends, social/internalized homophobia, bad-asses who are secret softies and secret love. Here are some suggestions/prompts which might be useful:
5 times fic: 5 times Mickey didn't hate Ian, 5 times they hung out and it was wonderful, 5 times Ian knew he loved Mickey, etc.
Why does Mickey seem to change when he gets out of juvie (pt 2)? WHat happened?
What does Ian see in Mickey? Does he come back for Mickey? Reunions? How (if at all) does the fact that they've clearly had other partners (Angie, Jimmy's dad) affect their sex life?
ANd then i saw this thing on tumblr, and it made my heart go all pitter-pat: "mickey and ian holding hands for the first time would have to be an accident like one of them tries crossing the street but a car whips by so the other grabs their hand and pulls them back onto the curb and they kinda don’t let go" --
desjouetsdudestin That could also be good.
Caveat: The scene with the Russian: UPSETTING. It happened, it affects them, fine, (well, not, but you know what I mean), but I'd really rather that there weren't descriptions of graphic non-con. If something upsets one of them, and they talk it out, that's okay, but no tears and scared sex. exchange sex is also icky, but I'll deal.
You're the best ever! Happy Yuletide!
