Chapter 2: Reroute Fandom: Shameless (US) Rating: Explicit Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Relationships: Ian Gallagher/Mickey Milkovich Characters: Ian Gallagher, Mickey Milkovich, Lip Gallagher, Mandy Milkovich, Tami Tamietti, Original Characters Additional Tags: Romance, Supernatural Elements, Science Fiction, Alternate Universe, Multiverse, Meta, Hurt/Comfort, Soulmates Series: Part 2 of You Can Bite Me Summary:

Paramedic Ian Gallagher knows true love exists. He’s not going to settle until he finds it either, no matter how much his friends and family roll their eyes at him. Mickey Milkovich, on the other hand, isn’t sure about all that stuff. He’s an engineer with a long to-do list, and chasing rainbows isn’t on it. He’ll never say no to a good time and a pretty face though. When they meet, it will feel like kismet, something inevitable that neither of them can shake. Honestly though, who would want to?

Falling in love can be the easiest thing in the world, especially when the whole universe is rooting for you… That’s if the whole universe is rooting for you.

Girl, you deleted totally? You're supposed to just go into ghost mode and haunt the place when something interesting happens.

Will we be getting a teaser this week?

I mean, I think we low key deserve it after what you did to us on VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!!

♥️

Omg! I keep forgetting. 😭

It's a testament to how chaotic and busy this year has been so far that my writing schedule is shot to hell and I'm missing midweek teasers!

I have a teaser! Just have to actually remember to post it. 😭

Thanks for the reminder, bb.❤️

But um impatient, so here's one of my favorite fics ever, Lost in Translation. It's an AU where they meet in another country and it's really sweet and funny. It's not even that long, only about 20k words, and it's a must-read!

I hadn't really thought about that, now that you mention it. I had just whipped up some vignettes to show their passage through time, but there could be some potential there.

Going from contemplating homicide to jumping up and down in muddy puddles, from one chapter to the next cannot be healthy for me.

Gonna be floating with a smile on my face all week🥰

I accept zero responsibility for what y'all put yourselves through. Any emotional upheaval experienced during this fic is entirely your own doing. To wit...

Me: here's some fluffy, lighter fare to serve as a palate cleanser after some heavy-hitters! 🤗

Y'all: Oh god! What's the death toll going to be?! 💀💀💀

Me: high school teachers! Dumb idiots in love! Tony the dog is here! 🥰🥰🥰

Y'all: the sky is falling! Where's Ivan?! Bush did 9/11! 💥💥💥

Me: it's basically a Hallmark movie in fic form! 🎄

Y'all: *existential screaming* 😱😱😱
