Ian Gallagher and Mickey Milkovich fuck and fall in love over time. This starts in season one after the first time they have sex, and continues on through the series, giving insights from both boys. Canon Gallavich. Some smut later on. A little fluff.

After his mum took off, Ian sort of expected he'd wind up in foster care. What he didn't expect was to meet a sort of dirty boy called Mickey Milkovich there. Multi-chap fic. THERE IS NOW A SEQUEL TO THIS FIC CALLED "WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT STUPID QUESTIONS"

Everyone is tied to their soulmate by the "Red String of Fate" around their little finger. Ian and Mickey had been connected in that way since birth, but before they could meet, Mickey was so scared of being gay that he dug deep into his skin and severed the string. The string doesn't connect them anymore, but fate still has a way of bringing people together. Soulmate!AU
