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.
