    Summary

    Mickey Milkovich has always been good at pretending he’s fine.
    Ian Gallagher doesn’t seem to believe him.
    Mickey is fresh out of juvie and stuck working security at a shitty convenience store.
    He keeps his head down, his music loud, and his walls higher.
    Ian sees him anyway. He sees the beauty in his insecurities.
    Mickey's life is falling apart faster than he can hold it together - bruises he won't explain, hunger he won't admit, panic he can't control.
    But between late shifts, quiet nights, lingering touches and songs shared under open skies, something starts to change. Something softer. Something dangerous.
    Because wanting to be loved means risking everything.
    And Mickey has always known one thing -
    if someone really sees him, they'll leave.
    Ian doesn't.

    Summary

    Mexico is everything Mickey thought it would be, but he realizes it's not for him. So he goes back. Not to Ian, this chapter of his life is closed.

     

    I saw the fucking ocean, and it meant nothing to me because you weren’t there. I wanted it to be enough, I tried so fucking hard to be happy. But it was meaningless, because you weren’t there.

    Summary

    Part of the "We'll Make It Out Alive" Series. What if Ian never read Mickey's letter? What if he just tried to move on with his life without Mickey?
    Ian never looked for Mickey-just assumed Mickey had moved on without him-until he ran into Mickey while at a bar with his fiancé, Trevor, and realized how much he'd missed the other man. But does Mickey feel the same?
