#second chapters

second chapters - chapter 3

when mickey’s PO assigns him a job at the local library, he’s pleasantly surprised—not that he’d ever admit it. practically lived in the prison library, and what better way to start his new life than with a career he might actually enjoy. and when he meets the charming, clever, utterly fuckable, redheaded children’s librarian, well, shit just keeps getting better and better. mickey’s definitely not interested in anything serious right now, but what’s the harm in a little fun?  fuck, this job’s gonna be even better than he thought.

chapter: 3 / 17(?) rating: e (eventually) chapter word count: 6.7k total word count: 15.1k

and all the hugs and kisses to @gallawitchxx jumping in for some beta love! 🐝💕

that display war, right? so. you made me think. how mickey is small. and has black hair. like a raven. so what you did was basically awaken some deeply buried memories about a specific german children's story. so you gotta suffer them now.

this-

-is the little raven socke. yes. like the sock he's wearing. he's small. he's a raven. he's also a little know it all and always up to mischief. i won't ever be able to get that association out of my head and i'll pretend he was part of ian's display until the day i die, thanksokaybye.
