I probably shouldnt have done this. Im only halfway trough the series, when for some reason, I thought it would be great idea the check if there are any good fics. Because this is good show, its pretty popular and the characters are just pretty damn awesome. But now I have kind of destroyed the show in my head. I have spoiled myself about stuff and I know the ending (like I didn't know from the start that Ian and Mickey will marry at the end, everyone knows that but there are details that I did not know, didn't want to know). Now tt kind of feels like I will not finnish the show, I'll probably just read all the fics and be happy about myself. Or hate myself. Something.
So basically my whole fic hunting was all about finding complete fics that are not a crossover. Thats it. But I still have not come across a one fic where Ian and Mickey aren't the main couple. Okay. Maybe I haven't tried that hard, but its only been a week. Or more like four days or something. So I have not had the time to go to the deep end.
Its not even that I dont like Ian and Mickey. Its more about how Fiona (and maybe Lip) are my favorite characters and Im just a little bit lost. This is not saying I have not enjoyed every fic and haven't really found a new fandom where I'll be lost the next forever. More just saying that, this was not what was my plan.
These fics were chosen because they are oneshots. I'm not ready to read anything with zillion words and million chapters worth of fiction right now. So oneshots it is. The only problem is picking the fics, because there are so many good ones. And after this, I will probably find even more better fics. So enjoy this whole mess that this week has been for me.
Fake It Till You Make It by missmichellebelle
“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?'
Every fandom has at least one fic with faking the whole dating thing. This is it in Shameless. Even if its less about faking and more about not communicating. Which is kind of weird, because in every other fic, these two are rocking the whole communication thingy. But not here! Here they are just a big hot mess.'
you are inked on my skin long before we begin by milominderbinder
Mickey’s always been scared of getting his words. The words which start to show up a couple of weeks before you meet your soulmate, somewhere on your body, beginning so pale they’re barely legible and gradually fading into inky black; the words which will be the first your soulmate ever says to you. He’s hoped that he’ll be like Terry and never get them at all, because he knows that when he meets his soulmate, it’s gonna be a guy, and that’s dangerous, too dangerous to be worth it.
So of course, with his luck, he gets them when he’s only seventeen.
This is that soulmate fic. I had two options for this one and picking one was almost impossible. The only reason I picked this in the end, is because this is longer. There is more to enjoy, more missery and just more everything. Thats it.
there ain't nothing that I need. by milominderbinder
“I ain’t fucking parenting anybody,” Mickey says, “but Jesus, of course we’re gonna make sure they’ve got food and aren’t sticking their fingers in the light sockets, and that someone’s around for the little one til her mom gets bailed out of jail. They’re your family.”
“Your family too, now,” Ian points out, “Since you married my ass.”
Newlywed, living in the family home, and keeping an eye on both Liam and Franny while all other guardians are unavailable, Ian finds himself thriving on the new domesticity of his life. Surprisingly, it seems like Mickey does, too.
Domestic life fits them perfectly. The whole family life, with kids and house work. Everything. Its just so in character, in fandom, in everything. The whole vibe is just spot on. Usually I get bored while reading fics with this much boring, everyday life. But with these two, they deserve it so much that I just cant not read it.
Student Pick Up by OreoLuvr13
Much to Liam and his classmates’ surprise, Mickey picks him up from school.
One other thing I love about this fandom, is the support they give to each other. How they are always there for each other and how they are just a one huge family. Yea, Gallaghers are siblings, but V, Kev and Mickey are just as much as family as everyone else. And it shows.
Together by golden_gardenias
Carl Gallagher needs definitive proof that his brother is in a relationship with the neighborhood thug, and boy does he get it.
I have not made my mind about Carl. Sometimes I like him, most of the time I just don't understand him and all the rest is just a big mess. But I like reading fics about these two from other people's perspective. Its fun, entertaining and brings something else to the fandom.
This time the +1 part is two stories. Or more like one story but its in two parts. Or more like, one story but two versions. Something like that.
wide-eyed walker by spock
Ian meets him at a bar. It becomes a thing, but they never do get around to exchanging names.
do not wander by spock
"So, how'd you two meet again?"
Before I had even decided about making this blog post, I had decided this would be the +1 part. Because I really liked the Ian part of the story, I liked how he got hooked on Mickey and just went back. But then I read the Mickey version and I just coudn't get enough. I just wanted to read more and more and more. I am kind of disapointed that there isn't a third story, but I can live with only these two.
