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.
