every so often, I’m hit with the unbearable mystery of Mickey’s giant anal beads in S3.

by echotrees

Because it’s wrong and it’s dangerous, and messing with guys on the DL has always been his MO but this is different. This is having hot, crazy sex with a guy that’s got to clamp a hand over his mouth. Being all too careful not to leave marks just in case someone else can see. And Mickey feels bad. He has to feel bad.

But he’s been fucking his sister’s boyfriend for well over six months now, and he can’t seem to get himself to stop.

Ian is so happy that he’s going to fly right of off the couch. Mickey asked him to come over and they are actually hanging out, like a normal couple. There’s a movie on the TV, Mickey making jokes about the plot, and homemade food.

Ok, so heating up frozen food isn’t exactly homemade, but Mickey made the snacks for them to enjoy together and that’s just special to Ian. Sure they hang out before but work doesn’t really count, they have to be there. Going to the dugouts or the abandoned building there’s always an understanding that the talking will quickly lead to fucking. Sitting in this couch, for the first time Ian doesn’t feel the pressure to have sex. There’s no expectation, just him and Mickey watching a movie and laughing.

Ian turns his head and looks over at Mickey. It’s hard to believe that he was once afraid of him. Mickey is fun and caring, Ian loves being with him. Most of the time his favorite part of the day is when him and Mickey are at work together.

He thinks about the kiss they had the other day, he’s always thinking about the kiss he hopes it’s not a one time thing. Ian quickly leans over while Mickey is making another quip about the movie and pecks him on the cheek.

“The fuck?!” Mickey shouts, caught off guard by Ian’s sudden sign of affection.

Ian grins back in response.

Mickey gives a small chuckle and tells Ian to fuck off. Ian can see him blushing. This is the best day of his life.

I enjoyed Ian’s journey to get Mickey back in S10.

But more than the process itself, what I loved most was that Ian himself knew by then that Mickey had become someone he couldn’t live without. It wasn’t just a relationship where, if they left, that would be the end — now Mickey had to be by his side, no matter what. Ian knew that. that’s why he wanted to marry him, to protect him, even though the idea of marriage genuinely scared him. he wanted Mickey to come back so badly that he was willing to marry him, even knowing Mickey had no feelings for Byron. (I’m talking about the time he showed up at Byron’s place with the promise ring because he had no other choice — not the actual proposal.)

What I love is that Ian is aware he can’t be without Mickey. “I want to be where you are.” That was the theme of Gallavich in Season 10. :)

Gallavich Meta & Headcanon Prompts - Part 1

Some ideas for you to discuss! Feel free not to stick to the exact wording of the question. And feel free to rec any meta/headcanons/fics that explore these topics!

How do you think things would have been different if Ian and Mickey had been friends first before S1?

They have had some very important moments together at the Alibi - what do you think the significance of this location is?

What plot holes do you think are the most frustrating? And how would you fix them?

Locations in general - the Alibi, The Gallagher house, the Milkovich house - how have these places impacted Ian and Mickey?

Do you think AUs are more popular in the Gallavich fandom than other fandoms? If so, why?

What significance do you think there is to the fact Mickey wore white to his wedding with Ian?

What do you think Ian imagined (e.g. worst case scenarios) prison would be like before 9x06? What do you think Mickey was feeling before knowing he was going to see Ian again?

How do you think their communication has improved during s11? And how do you think it will continue to improve post-finale?

What do you think would have happened if they had gotten married at the courthouse?

If Mandy had known about Ian and Mickey from the start, how do you think this would have changed things?

What sentimental things, if any, do you think they have kept over the years?

When do you think they first privately had thoughts about marriage?

What are some underrated moments between them that you think are significant to their relationship?

How do you think other characters view their relationship?

it’s so funny to me that ian put the bare minimum into his realsonships, obviously he wasn’t like actively a dick to them, he just seem pretty disinterested in the non sexual more romantic side of things, which is why i still hold true to the fact that trevor as a friend only character for ian would have lead to a better written character, as well as better representation and development for ian.

Well, I think that the relationship with Caleb was very obviously a rebound. It didn’t really matter who it was, (and it didn’t, Caleb was a second choice because the hot one who saved him was taken) he just needed a distraction and a hook up but what he got was an escape and someone who didn’t know who he was *before* so he could figure out who he is *now*. Which is what he thought he needed. Ian was having a hard time figuring shit out once he started taking care of himself and even though he was a project for Caleb and I think — as much as he fought anyone’s help — Ian recognized that and surrendered to it because he was happy to have found a purpose in his life again. That’s what made him happy and I don’t think Ian was focused on the relationship at all, he was focused on himself and it was nice to have the benefits of a relationship without worrying about actually cultivating it. I think he was able to get some “normal” relationship experience and learn how it felt to be out and live somewhere where he didn’t have to look over his shoulder for fear of being knifed but you could have replaced Caleb with literally any guy and it wouldn’t have mattered to Ian. He said it himself, he never expected it to last. I think he was just letting all the shit slide until something happened that he couldn’t get past and it was really easy to break things off with Caleb because he didn’t give a shit about him. Caleb as a character didn’t need to exist but it was a convenient connection to Ian becoming an EMT and that’s literally all he was good for.

Trevor was a rebound of a rebound and yet another time where Ian was just looking for a quick fuck which then spiraled into a relationship (dare I say it, not entirely of Ian’s will either but that’s a rant for another day that I’ve already had lol) so I don’t think it’s odd that he wasn’t invested in that one either. Trevor pursued him which must have felt nice, he was all about having a good time, and I think it was another good distraction for Ian, but he definitely should have stayed a friend. And I think Ian’s view on Trevor (and Caleb too) was that this was the kind of guy he *should* be interested in. On paper, he’s great. On paper, Caleb was too. These guys should be great for him! Ian fell into the trap that Lip often finds himself in — looking to his partners to better himself, looking to them as something or someone that’s good for them and therefore worthy of their time. But that doesn’t take into account that half the time it felt like Ian was ready to run out the door with both of those guys and guess what?! HE DID. He did run out on them. I think he tried more with Trevor because maybe he was a little more Ian’s speed and there was a challenge there. Each milestone seemed to be a fight and the negotiating and bargaining they did never felt like healthy relationship negotiating, it felt like a competitive one-up-manship kinda thing and fell back on much more of a friend vibe. I think maybe Ian slapped on that “boyfriend” label willy nilly because they still had a major FWB vibe to me that hadn’t crossed over into genuine care and affection on Ian’s end anyway. He was focused on the sex and the logistics of that sex for the majority of their time together and once he figured that out, he was just out for a good time. I know we always get up in arms about Trevor not caring about Ian but I don’t think Ian cared about Trevor much either. They touched on Trevor’s past once but it was swallowed up in Monica coming back and then Mickey right after that so Ian didn’t have time to give a shit even if he might have felt like he should. 

But after 7x11 and Ian comes back it’s just so obvious Ian’s looking for another distraction and can’t really muster the energy or will to go somewhere new so he falls back to Trevor. I truly think he knew nothing and no one would ever measure up to Mickey and he knew he could at least be somewhat happy and live a relatively normal, stable life with this “good” guy and that’s it. When Carl asks why he’s trying to get Trevor back that’s all he says - “He’s the best person [he] knows.” (which, debatable) and that he’s good in bed. Nothing like, because I love him, I’m sorry I hurt him, I made a mistake, blah blah. It was really that he was trying to get him back because he felt like he should. (Compare that to when Ian is trying to get Mickey back later on, he loves him, he’s worried he’ll hurt him, he’ll do whatever it takes to make Mickey happy.)

Caleb and Trevor were means to an end and idk, call me a sap, but I think Ian knew that. I don’t think he ever genuinely, honestly tried to get over Mickey or move on. He compartmentalized and hyper focused and tried to distract himself with people who he thought he needed, but he never went looking for love, you know? With Mickey locked away for what Ian thought would be around a decade, I think that’s probably the only thing Ian could have done. I feel like he would have kept trying to date but the relationships would always fail to get off the ground or just peter out after it was clear Ian’s heart wasn’t in it and that pattern would have continued until Mickey got out.

just ian and mickey holding hands and cuddling like the married couple they are

yea yea yea YEAAA!

they can do this at all times and everywhere and anywhere!

when they're cozy at home. in the early mornings when neither of them wants to get up yet. bathed in soft light. giving each other soft little kisses and holding. just holding and breathing each other in. touching foreheads and talking in whispers and booping their noses.

and at night after they've finished ravishing each other. completely spent and satisfied and tangled and marked up. trying to catch their breaths and slow their heartbeats, but refusing to let go. still breathing each other in and kissing and kissing and kissing. not being able to stop just yet. because they want to. because they can.

and in the gallagher house huddled up on the couch. watching a movie with the siblings but still gravitating towards each other. mickey throwing his leg over ian's. ian grabbing mickey's hand and playing with his fingers. mickey tucking his face into ian's neck when he gets bored and ian threading his fingers in his hair.

and in the pool when they're sunbathing. mickey sitting in between ian's legs and letting him lather sunscreen on his back. ian taking his time and massaging it in. leaning forward and placing kisses on his shoulder, his back, the back of his neck. wrapping his arms around mickey's waist when he's done and pulling him back into his chest.

and in the ambulance when they're in the middle of a work day. placing little kisses on the back of each other's hands and wrists and sneaking in a little finger nibble. taking turns holding on to each other's thighs, running their palms up and down and up up up.

and in the laundry room. and in the supermarket. and in the pharmacy.

and on date nights. and on nights in. and on happy days. and on low days.

and forever.
