He's so heavy (he's my brother) [Shameless, Ian Gallagher/Lip Gallagher, Gallavich, oneshot]

He's so heavy (he's my brother) by merle_p 

Later, Lip will remember that there was a time years ago when he promised himself that this would never, ever happen again. 

Ha! Something else than Mickey and Ian! Okay. This doesn't make me feel any better. Maybe this is just so much worse on so many levels? Or maybe Im just sucker for anything that shouldn't exist. Nope. Thats not it.

I did like how Ian's bipolar was describled here. How he was distant and not really in this world, how Lip saw him and how it made Lip feel. I really liked that. 

Probably I should go and find more fics where Lip is dealing with Ian without meds. Where he sees how out of the world Ian is and how he is hopeless to do anything about it. Or maybe I just need to find more fics with Ian not taking his meds and people just trying to deal with him. Not really ideal with mental health and all that, but this is fiction and I want to escape the real world. Something like that. 

your name like a song I sing to myself [Shameless, Gallavich, multichapter, nc17]

your name like a song I sing to myself by misandrywitch 

Mickey and Mandy Milkovich are the two halves of indie band 'Mandy and the Misdemeanors' and, against all odds, they're pretty good. That's about all Mickey has going for him though. He's expecting to slog through another long monotonous summer, make a little money playing some gigs and pass unnecessarily hot afternoons how he always has: drinking too much and wondering halfheartedly what feels like it's missing from his life.  

Until, that is, he meets a red-headed green-eyed bartender named Ian who charges into Mickey's life with a laugh, and who ensures that nothing will ever be the same

The thing I like most about in Shameless fics is trauma. I know that sounds super bad, but it just makes sense. Kinda. Its all this trauma that all these characters have and the fics wont ignore it or forger about (at least most of them wont). The trauma is there, its alive, the people are figuring their life around and it fucks with everything. 

Mickey getting almost killed because he loves guys? He has trauma from that, he is afraid every second of his life, but he tries to live. Thats the most beautiful part of this fic. The best part. Its awful, it shouldnt happen but no one gets better just by snapping fingers. They carry that shit, but they survive. 

The same goes with Ian's bipolar and Mandy's rape and whatnot. Its there, its alive and sucks ass. But somehow it brings something different and makes the fics just so much better. Thats the whole thing. Thats the best part.

Kind Of A Dick [Game Changers, Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov, oneshot]

Kind Of A Dick by jsMika2 

The first thing Shane Hollander tells his parents about the man he will marry one day is that he’s kind of a dick. 

Or, five times Yuna asked Shane about Ilya Rozanov (and one time she asked David about them).

There is something wrong with me. Something seriously wrong with me. But, because I know I don't have the energy, time or whatever to get lost in this thing, this whole thing wont get a megapost about half a dozen awesome fic. Yea. So. What I am saying is that I will get over this thing soon. Very soon.

I would have loved to read more about Shane's parents in the book (I have yet to start the sequel, so we will see if my opinion changes). Mostly because he was so close to them and they were such a huge part of his life. And this one hit the spot perfectly. Yep. All those little scenes from Yuna's point of view. Loved every second of this.

Even Ilya seemed like a functional human from Yuna's point of view. Lovely, functional human that she could love as a son-in-law. Yea. Fuck. So maybe I have to read the sequel like yesterday and then get lost to this fandom? Fuck. Yea. 

 Feel free to recommend good fics. This is still the only one I have red so far. So yea. Im a noobie. 

And I'm Greedy [Shameless, Gallavich, nc-17, oneshot]

And I'm Greedy by anomalously 

Ian's boss needs a job done; Mickey's temporarily closed for business. 

I'd elaborate more, but where's the fun in that.

This is more like I tought these fics would be. Violence, crimes, mafia, underground and whatnot. Not some cute little moments from happily ever after life. 

For a moment I tought this was based to somewhere in 1950s or something. No clue why, it was just this small headcanon. But now that I think about, there isnt really anything that says that this couldnt happen in 1950s. Wellll. Details. 

Other than that. A lot of fighting (thats actually jusr flirting), yelling, cursing and getting rid of evidence. Everything that was just way too good. 

I need more of this. A lot more. Endless supply of mafia AU and everyone being hardcore criminals. Thank you. 

Last of a Dying Breed [Shameless, Gallavich, nc-17]

Last of a Dying Breed by wildxwired 

After the death of his sociopathic PO, Ian’s sent to work at XK9, the dog rescue that gives second chances to the unwanted pets and ex-cons of the southside — and it just so happens to be run by the most unlikely success story of them all. 

I was not sure if I was ready to read a fic about dogs. I never really know if its gonna be on point or if the writer is just over bullshitting everything. But this. This one was so on point that I may have learned a lot ton of new things. Not saying that this 100 % correct in everything (like I would even know), but this is at least so close that I cant really point one thing that is wrong.

Everything else? Meh. I dont know. I liked how they had these huge crushes on each other and everyone else were just rooting for them. Also liked their background and how they knew each other from the back but didn't really interact that much. And Mandy is always awesome.

I liked Mickeys dogs. Cute little trouble makers who love their human and have their own personalities and problems. I kinda liked all the dogs here and all the side characters. Everything just went so well together and made a really solid story. Also everything affected everything in some way, which is just build on on itself. Hard to actually explain. Just so solid in every way.

 So. Totally worth it.
