Hello again! I’ve been searching for a post-s5 breakup, canon divergent, getting back together fic, and I simply cannot find it. I’ve checked tags, I’ve tried all the combinations of key words I could think of, and I’ve searched for what I thought were relevant words within different fics. I was hoping you would be able to help me. Here’s what I remember…
Ian and Mickey are broken up and Ian is trying to get back together with Mickey but Mickey kind of distant. Mickey lives in the apartment above/in the Alibi and Yevgeny stays with him sometimes. I remember that Ian would come to his door a lot to talk to him, but Mickey wouldn’t let him in. But then one night something happens with Terry, I think he tried to break in? And then Ian’s there for the aftermath and Mickey lets him come in and Ian comforts him and eventually they work things out and get back together.
Does this ring any bells to any of you? Crossing my fingers that it does, but no worries if it doesn’t. Thank you so much for your help!
We’re so sorry! While this scenario is so familiar, none of us could place it. We also did the same thing as you — combed Ao3 for anything relevant but nothing turned up. It’s either been deleted or might live on Tumblr. Maybe it's an untagged story?
ETA: Okay, thanks to @arrowflier who suggested What if nothing ever gives you that same thrill again?
@spitfirechick let us know if this is the one!
