Hey there, I'm Flawless438! I'm an amateur writer and storyteller/lover. I love Shameless (US), Suits, MisFits (UK), Luther (UK), and a bunch of other shows. I'm a sucker for super dark shows that make me think and draw me in. I always tell myself that if I'm not thinking about characters and their stories after watching a show, I don't really like it, so I keep that in mind whenever I watch anything new.I have one published story on here, but I don't want to finish it because I got bored with the story, so I figured I should just tried my hand at something else. This fic is also up there because I might as well see how well it does across the board.
I got the inspiration for this story, obviously, from the last season of Shameless and the fact that Lip is basically on the verge and, since being given an ultimatum from Youens, has to find some kind of release from rehab so he can bounce back into real life. I am always thinking about the ways that characters can react to the situations that they've been given and I can't think of any better way to do that than to write out everything that I have in mind.
I'm thinking Riley is adopted, but I haven't fully decided yet. I really want her to be more on the ethnic side because it's just what's in my mind and it's totally possible for almost anyone to be Irish, so that shouldn't have too much to do with continuity. I was really thinking Zoe Kravitz because she's super edgy and really interesting, which I feel would be the same qualities Riley has.
Riley O'Hare
Age: 20
Occupation: College Student, Head Teacher's Assistant
Studies: Major in Economics, Minor in Math; 3.89 Cumulative GPA
Cause of Rehab: Repeated inebriation at work with promise of returning to her job after completion of steps.
I'm really excited to delve into the depths of this story and explore Riley and Lip's relationship and childhood connection (will definitely make this up/explore it as I go along). I think the biggest intrigue in Riley that Lip has is her strange connection to Mandy Milkovich.
