alive but at what cost

Snow: *exists*

guy who is really talented at everything he tries but mostly just punches people

girl who would rather be crawling around in your walls than socializing

guy who has strong opinions on star trek and thinks “a good time” is hacking into the NSA

girl who hasn’t stopped lying in forty years and may or may not be royalty

Human Beings:

did mickey complain about ian looking after him? did he bitch and moan and say it’s nothing? did ian have to wear him down to get him to sit and wait patiently while he cleaned him up?

or did they do all that in prison already? did mickey get in enough fights that they’re used to cleaning each other up by now, so mickey just let ian do his thing without a problem?

or maybe cleaning up each other’s wounds start earlier? like when mickey came out? or even earlier, like in the things we didn’t see in season 3? is it just completely common place for them now?

i also wonder about when the scene happened. did they fuck first and then ian decides to clean him up? or did ian refuse to fuck until he’s cleaned up his wounds? they’re in different clothes, so maybe they showered together? maybe mickey refused to shower with ian because he’s been in prison for a long fucking time, been in a shitty, dangerous (i assume, bc mickey wasn’t making much money and being in a cartel is unsafe) apartment in mexico then prison before that, so he wants to has a shower in peace and safety alone for the first time in 5 years?

did ian talk about it? did he say ‘sit down, i’ll clean your hands’? or did he just start getting out his little first aid kit and mickey sat down and let him do it without any need for words? did ian joke about using the mickey mouse plasters they have for frannie?

did mickey say ‘i can do this shit myself’? did ian have to argue that he’d do a worse job of it, that he’d be too rough and make it all worse? did ian just say ‘i know but i want to do it’? or did mickey just let ian do it because he wants ian to look after him a little bit? i mean there’s also the possibility that mickey asked ian to clean them for him, but i don’t think that’s likely.

Some were obviously cut because of a technical issue, like that scene where Ian complains about Paula where they accidentally forgot to put the 'Ian Galager' tattoo on Mickey's chest.

A few were cut to remove some storylines the writers decided to not go through with, like the scene of Ian laying awake in s11, but those to me felt few and far between.
