#gallavich gift exchange 2024

[sickness-health-all-that-shit]

Heat of the moment

It all starts with a bar fight. Even before the redhead’s fate was sealed by the arrival of Mickey’s brothers, there was no way Mickey wasn’t going to teach this dude a lesson. And if that means having the guy on him—well, that is a bonus he can absolutely live with.

here's my fic for @suzy-queued for the GGE 2024 hosted by @gallavichthings ✨💖 the prompt was an AU about them getting together, a messy meet-cute or meet-ugly with silliness, mutual pining and first kisses. well I hope I delivered! I've certainly had a lot of fun writing this as those are among my favourite ever tropes 🥰 hope you enjoy Deena!!! <3 p.s. thanks to @sam-loves-seb for beta reading this for me 💕

Thanks to @gallavichthings for organizing, this was so fun to participate in.

Firstly, I want to send a huge shout out and thank you to @gallavichthings for the immense amount of work they have put in to make the 2024 Gallavich Gift Exchange happen!

Also, a big shout out to all the participants - it's so cool to be a part of this!

I was terrified to participate, not knowing if I would be able to create something that my giftee would enjoy. My reason for sharing that, is that I want to encourage ANYONE who wants to participate in future events... join in!

I had a lot of fun writing this, thinking about things my giftee, @mybrainismelted, would enjoy!

Kat, I really hope you enjoy this, I threw in some Easter Eggs for you!!

My giftee was the amazingly talented & wonderful @doshiart 🥰 Here's a high school AU with artist Mickey & jock Ian. Mick's trying to resist (albeit not too hard 😆) but it's puppy dog Ian with his sweet freckled face & bowl cut y'all 💕

Also Ian's number is 10 for Mickey's birthday hehehe 🫶🏼

The Day That He Left Me

For @howlinchickhowl as part of Gallavich Gift Exchange 2024 (@gallavichthings).

I am not sure if I did your prompt justice but here's my gift for you! The rest of the chapters will be posted tomorrow and on Monday. Hope you like it!

Summary:

5 years together. Engaged for a year. And just like that, Ian Gallagher was left on his own. A month before their wedding. 

Ever since his ex left him, nothing felt right in his life.

🧪 idiots guide to office crushes 🧪

a gallavich workplace au / mentions of soulmates (but not a soulmate story!) / a cat brings them together fic, written for @doshiart for @gallavich-fic-club's secret santa gift exchange 2024 🌸 hope you like it doshi!

summary: Ian has a crush on Mickey. Mickey has a crush on Ian. Are they going to do something about it? No. Are they idiots? Yes.

excerpts:

So that left him. Ian Gallagher. The middle, often forgotten sibling, with a long list of guys he had hooked up with since he was seventeen, ranging from closeted high school jocks to random hookups at Boystown to geriatric grandpas. None of which, as he learned the hard way, were his soulmate (or any kind of mate for that matter) (though anyone with eyes probably could’ve told him that) (he was young and naive and didn’t know any better, okay?).

Now he’s twenty-five, living alone in a shoebox studio apartment, working a steady but horribly boring desk job as a sales rep for office supplies, with coworkers he gets along with but kind of can’t stand to be around at the same time, and still hopeful he’s going to find the love of his life in this bleak, dreary world.

...

Mickey lives a quiet life and works a boring job to pay the bills and get by comfortably. He purposely chooses not to interact with his coworkers because what’s the point? He’s fine with the routine he’s established. He doesn’t need to be with anyone. If he wants to get off once in a while he’ll go to a club in Boystown and find the first available guy to jerk him off. It’s fine. He’s fine with it. He can’t complain. He’s single and alone, but he’s alive and that’s all he can ask for.

Until Ian fucking Gallagher came waltzing into the office one day and flipped his worldview completely upside down and sideways to all hell.

🧡🖤 Happy Gift Exchange everyone! 🖤🧡

Teen gallavich gift for the lovely @michellemisfit with the birthday boy! 🧡🖤

Prompt: Teen Setting with them being awkward but still wanting to mark the day.

I like to think about Ian making a cake for Mickey and sneaking it into the van.

Gallavich Gift Exchange 2024

Here it is, the long-awaited Gallavich Gift Exchange 2024!

General rules:

Click here to sign up. You’ll be asked for a prompt for the gift you want to receive. Please notice you will also be required to make a gift for someone else (hence the word exchange). Having a Tumblr account is not mandatory, though it does make things a bit easier.

Once sign-ups close, I’ll be making a list of all the wanted prompts for you to choose what you want. This will be done in a first-come, first-served basis (if by any chance the prompts left are somehow not possible to be completed by the authors/artists left, the people who’ve requested them might be asked to make some changes).

If by any reason you think you won’t be able to finish your gift, let me know as soon as possible so I can find someone else to finish in your place. Please know that in this case it’s possible that the gift being done for you isn’t concluded either.

One last thing: you’re allowed to send anonymous messages to the person whose prompt you’re fulfilling to ask for more information (or just to be cute :) ), as long as you don’t disclose your identity, of course. If the person doesn’t have anonymous messages enabled or isn’t on Tumblr, let me know and I’ll send them the messages on your behalf.

As always, send me any questions you might have via askbox or chat.

Memoriam

For @jrooc as part of the 2024 Gallavich Gift Exchange, hosted by @gallavichthings. I'm technically still getting it posted, but half of it is up and the rest will be after I get a little sleep!

Summary:

When Mickey Milkovich was a boy, he learned the importance of memories. Not just the simple kind, but the ones that really matter. The ones that hold power, that make things the way they are. Because if you can control those memories, their power is yours.

But when a memory comes walking into Mickey's bar, can he keep that power in check? Or are some things worth giving up control for?

GALLAVICH GIFT EXCHANGE 2024

i was so happy that i got @vintagelacerosette for GGE this year, hosted by @gallavichthings. hopefully this will be a nice surprise for when you wake up, myn :)

Lives Diverged

Rating: T&Up

Word Count: 2k

Summary: Mickey’s head is spinning. Everything feels too fucking much yet at the same time, all he can concentrate on is the anger and hurt in his chest.

He struts to the Alibi, in desperate need of a drink. He’s in the middle of finishing his beer when he falls face first onto a very familiar floor.

Hi Evie! How about 4, 17, and 27 for the Year in Review asks?

Thank you for indulging me, dearest Kat 🤗🥰

4. How many fandoms did you write for this year?

Let's see... Red, White, and Royal Blue, Gallavich, The Gentlemen (the TV series) and I posted a story for The Old Guard, though it was written three years ago, so that one doesn't really count, does it? 😛

17. Share your favorite opening line.

Oh boy... gimme a moment to scroll through AO3 😅 Okay, this one, from Top of the list:

There's something extremely… gratifying – Ian would swoon at the word, the fucking nerd – about living with your boyfriend.

The rest of them - and I kid you not - are extremely short and more or less deliberately misleading. And it's not that I take issue with how I open stories per se, it's just that, in vacuum, they're not that interesting. The one I picked, though, has that little appositive sentence and the endearment in the form of a profanity + insult and I think it's just neat.

27. How many events did you take part in? (bangs, exchanges, ship weeks, zines, prompt memes, they all count!)

Gallavich Week, of course ❤️

Gallavich Gift Exchange

Gallavich Masquerade

And then, hosted by @ficwip:

Hey, Sweetheart

Level Up!

Dark & Cozy

And two prompt fills for The Prompt Pool

Basically, this confirms what I already knew, which is that I function a lot better with deadlines 😅

2024 Year in Review - full set here ❤️

🎁 Gallavich Gift Exchange 2024 🎁

Hilariously, when I read the prompts for this one, I kept thinking ‘You know who would draw great art for this? Molly! This would look sooooo good in her style!!’ - Which meant that when @deathclassic was revealed as my giftee I had to rethink everything, as I couldn’t un-see all the prompts I’d been picturing drawn in her own style. 🤦

So I decided to go with a tiny bit of H/C, a bit of Fluff, but mostly PG13 Domesticity, and the boys being all in love with each other…

Their lives may be a bit calmer, but Mickey still gets into plenty of scrapes. And while Ian isn’t a professional EMT anymore, he’ll always be ready with the first aid kit. Especially if it gets him sweet thank you kisses when he is finished!!

Medium: Winsor & Newton Promarkers

I hope you like it @deathclassic 🧡🖤

Thank you to @gallavichthings for organising the GGE again this year. Such fun!!

Some in progress behind the cut :) Happy Easter everyone! 🐰

[howlinchickhowl]

Hi! I'm. Your secret Santa for the gallavich gift exchange. May I ask if you have a preference on highschool au, college au, or working gallavich?

Oh hi! For sure my preference is working. A workplace AU my ultimate beloved. Followed probably by college and then high school. I like it when they're more grown, you know? Thanks for asking, what a thrill!

[gallavichthings]

GGE2024 - PROMPTS

Gallavich Gift Exchange 2024 prompts are here!

Here’s the file with the prompts and the kind(s) of work the giftee would like to receive (please pay attention to that). I’ll be updating the file as the prompts get claimed. Also, you'll get more info about additional things they would or wouldn't like after claiming the prompt.

To claim a prompt, please send me a message on my ask box with the number of the prompt you’d like to claim (the number in this case is the number of the row it occupies, from 2 to 29). Preferably, send me as well a second option, in case someone arrives first. If both are claimed, I’ll ask you to choose something else. If none of the remaining prompts are to your liking, please wait until most of the prompts are claimed and I will then try to accommodate everyone. Don’t worry, you won’t be forced to produce something for a prompt you don’t like.

Important: do NOT reply to this post with the number of the prompt you want. Those will not be considered, only messages on my ask box, in order of first arrived. If you don’t have a Tumblr account or wish to remain anonymous, just send the ask on anon, but please don’t forget to tell me who you are - and keep an eye out for whatever means of communication you marked as desired (email, Twitter, etc.)

I’ll be confirming the prompts as I receive them (I might do that through my personal blog, btw). Please be patient and please confirm that you've received all the info after I send it. Thank you.
