    Summary

    In the 90s and early 00s, they were distant neighbors on a long, dirt road out in the middle of vaguely Georgia farmland. Ian and Mickey: two poor, closeted Southern kids with similar financial situations but very different families, harboring secret crushes that felt illegal and that manifested themselves as sharp words, punches, and self-loathing.

    In 2021, Ian, a high school teacher in need of a fresh start, returns to his childhood home after nearly 20 years to find himself once more sharing a lonely dirt road with Mickey, the boy he once knew and the man he's desperate to get to know.

    Summary

    Ian Gallagher was living the dream—two beautiful daughters, a husband who adored him, and a successful career. Until tragedy struck… and his world turned upside down.

    Having spent more than a third of his life behind bars, Mickey Milkovich is struggling to figure out how to move forward—trapped by his history, scared to dream of a better tomorrow.

    When their worlds suddenly collide, after years apart, can their shattered hearts build something solid together?

    This is a canon divergent story, that will feel like an AU, right up until it doesn’t.

    Summary

    Ian Gallagher worked hard for this. He's in his senior year of a music scholarship, conducting the first undergraduate orchestra. If the first concert of the year goes well, he might even get noticed by someone who can help him get a conducting gig after he graduates.
    But to get there, he's got to work with a principal violinist, Mickey Milkovich, who seems more intent on riling the entire orchestra up and starting fights with first flute and the viola section leader.

    Summary

    Ian Gallagher arrives on Winslow Island in a thick layer of fog, freshly 25 years old and with everything he owns in an overstuffed suitcase. The itch he’d been trying to ignore for months had won out in the end, he left his family in Chicago to answer a Craigslist ad looking for a groundskeeper to maintain a small private garden across the country. As he falls in love with the creeping mosses and raging tides of the Puget Sound, Ian discovers there are more strange and terrifying creatures hiding under the dark ocean than he imagined. To his horror, Ian can’t manage to react appropriately to one distinctly not human inhabitant who seems determined to get under his skin.
