Summary
Post 7X11: With no prison cell to cramp his style, Mickey Milkovich gets to start over in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The only problem is he has limited funds, no job, barely speaks Spanish, and has no friends or family there. Oh, and he is a fugitive in hiding.
He couldn't help but send a note to a few folks back home. Each chapter uncovers a little of Mickey's salty seaside life when he receives letters from Chicago.
Excerpt:
He remembered wishing Svetlana would've just had an abortion. Every night he would settle into their marital bed, head spinning as he monitored the growing fullness of her belly. She would lie on her side, her sea green eyes expectantly gazing into his blue eyes. What the fuck was she searching for?She would take his hand and place it against her belly before she kissed him good night. And each and every time he felt a wave of nausea. He didn't want her. He didn't want it. He didn't want a child.
But Svetlana looked forward to this baby, even though it meant she would live in that shithole house. Even though it meant she'd be married to a fag. Even though it meant her life would basically be over.

Summary
When you’re an early career researcher who has just broken up with the love of your life, who is desperately trying to keep your lab afloat, and who is still embattled in a years-long feud with the hotshot professor down the hall for the only tenured spot that will make itself available at this top tier university in at least the next decade, you really don’t have any choice but to save the emotions for another time. You don’t expect them to bubble up and out of you when you have a particularly rough day, and you certainly don’t expect refuge in the arms of your rival. But crazier things have happened in darkened hallways and behind closed office doors.

Summary
I can't get enough of Mickey Milkovich and I don't think his side of the story was explored enough on the show, so I'm writing his story canonically episode by episode and adding and expanding upon the scenes as I see fit.

Summary
**WORK CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS**
Ian has awoken with mild amnesia after having presumably fallen off the deep end. Though with as deep as he was, he is shaken to discover that he could fall even further down. He's now stuck battling his own mind in his attempt to piece together his memories of what had happened, of what he did. He finds himself committed to a rather long mandatory stay in the psych ward, which has potential to be extended even further. Upon arrival he's met by his new roommate, a man who he finds oddly intriguing yet incredibly intimidating, a mysterious, new stranger. The two quickly learn to coexist, yet their delicate balance becomes repeatedly tested during their stay in a struggling mental health facilty surrounded by other dysfunctional patients and an alarming underworld cycling within the center's walls. When Ian finally does decide to take the help offered to him, will he be able to convince his new companion to take the help too? And when they learn more about each other and reveal their painful, hidden secrets, will they still be able to accept one another? Or will it be too hard to swallow? -
