mad Malina

I mean look at them! So young and small and they're practically eye to eye. They're on equal ground entering this relationship but Mickey's attitude makes him bigger, gives him the control he needs and Ian sees past all of that vibrato but lets him have it anyway.

And then Ian shoots up like a big ginger weed during That Summer™ and Mickey couldn't get taller but he could grow facial hair better than Ian ever would and he would prove it because he's got to find a new way to seem bigger and in control. But man does he love the way Ian can crowd him now, make him tilt his chin up to meet his eye.

And then they're older and there are no more growth spurts and they have fallen naturally into fitting into each other because Ian's arm feels comfortable over Mickey's shoulder and he's got the perfect angle to plant a kiss into Mickey's hair and get a whiff of his favorite scent.

i ended it a little before i’d intended (after the 😜 emoji) because while writing, it felt like a nice, logical stop for the first half. first half is going to be pretty cute and light-ish and the second half is going to be more emotional, drama-filled, revealing, and heartwrenching but with a happy ending. you can probably tell by the last section of the emojis from this week. 

i’ll hopefully be able to post the full second half emojis in a few days and will have the second half posted toward the end of next week. <33

Hey, definitely not weird! So, we did a ‘one of them is in coma and the other one is waiting for him to wake up’ rec that is kind of fitting here, I think? Not too many stories that include passing out, but here’s something along the lines with some hurt/comfort on the side: 

if you’re still bleeding you’re the lucky ones Mickey is walking with Franny when Terry shows up. (Mickey passes out on Ian here, but it’s a very brief scene.)

Breaking and Entering This one is more of a meet-cute, but Ian passes out after he hits his head in Mickey’s apartment where he broke into while running away from a dog. Mickey takes care of nearly concussed Ian.

just keep one foot in front of the other Some dude puts something in Mickey’s drink at the Alibi and takes him to the alley to have sex. Mickey ends up passing out before something could happen. Ian finds him.

I Only Have Two Hands Ian is shot during a robbery at the Kash & Grab. While Mickey tries to save his life. (This is not exactly what you wanted, cause it’s Ian’s POV but still.)

You Are My Peace, You Are My Prayer The one where Ian is mugged on the way home from work.

the ground will swallow us anyway Ian gets beaten up and sexually assaulted. It’s a recovery story. This is a good but very heavy fic, mind the tags!

Like the Ocean 4x11 aftermath. Ian takes care of Mickey, they’re both hurt.
