Summary
Mickey’s just out of prison, on parole, and cursed—literally. He’s doomed to live his life under a dark cloud, completely stripped of free will, until he gets a job at a diner and meets an enigmatic redhead who seems to be carrying around his own unique burden. And maybe, just maybe, finding each other will be the key to freedom—for both of them.

Summary
Mickey hates Ian Gallagher, the building inspector with a perpetual stick up his ass who clearly has it out for him.
Ian hates Mickey Milkovich, the construction company owner who can’t seem to follow a safety code to save his life.
Or at least that’s what everyone thinks. But what they don’t know won’t hurt ‘em.

Summary
Ian was practically born with his. He’s had it for as long as he can remember, this bunch of wild red carnations blooming between his shoulder blades.
“Pride,” Lip tells him, his finger on the page of a library book about flowers. “Sounds about right for an army nerd like you.”
Ian punches him in the arm, but the definition makes him smile.
Fiona never saw it like that growing up. She used to tell him they were all about love.
“Love and happiness,” she’d say, tracing the pattern on his back through his t-shirt. “These ones around the edges? They’re more orange.”

Summary
“I slept with Mickey Milkovich last night,” Ian whispers.
“So?”
“So—” Ian stares at his phone for a second. “I slept with Mandy’s fucking brother.”
“Ian, what do you want me to say? Congratulations? You’ve been dating Mickey for almost a year,” Lip says, sounding confused as fuck. Ian blinks. That can’t be right. Ian’s only seen Mickey in pictures with Mandy. He’s never even met the fucking guy. How can he be dating him?

Summary
Ian Gallagher had everything in life perfectly balanced -- he was the youngest self-employed actuary in Chicago, was the reliable one his siblings turned to to keep their lives from combusting, and was on the verge of signing a client who would secure his new company’s future. That is until his new blue-eyed assistant turned everything on its head.
Or
The one where Mickey gets a job as Ian's secretary.

Summary
There were good points to having a five hundred year old vampire as a boyfriend but Mickey honestly couldn’t remember a single one not when he was trying to sleep and Ian was poking him in the side at…Mickey raised his head to see the clock…three in the fucking morning.
__________________________
“Ian, why the fuck is my TV smoking?”
Ian turned on him with what Mickey guessed that the pointy-toothed bastard thought was an innocent look.
“I was trying to commune with the ancestors and the demons became enraged,” he offered up.
Mickey narrowed his eyes as he glowered at Ian, “There’s a fucking remote in my TV screen.”

Summary
But then Ian has Mickey's fuck hand held tightly between two of his own, and his touch grounds Mickey like it always does, and he finds himself yet again staring dumbly at his boyfriend's beautiful, freckled face.
"Mickey Milkovich," he starts, and fuck, Mickey's name has no right sounding this good coming out of Gallagher's mouth. "Please, my darling Mick, treasure of my heart, will you do me the honors of granting me your toast?"
(Fucking fuck, what the actual fuck. Mickey is sure Ian's never been hotter.)
~~~
It's lowkey just 3k words of Mickey being a complete simp for his boyfriend. Not that I can blame him, or anything.

Summary
The term “brand spanking new” means to leave a permanent mark of ownership or a brand on something that has been restored through tender, loving care.
In hopes he’ll return home brand spanking new, Mickey’s siblings, who are fed up with his “failure to launch,” arrange for him to spend some time at a discipline-centered retreat that specializes in punishing bad behavior.
Excerpt:
“You were at Terry’s mercy for years,” Mandy continued like he wasn’t dying from shame and humiliation. “We knew you were gay, and we knew dad was making your life hell, but we all had our own shit going on. When Dad died, we thought it would set you free but you’re…stuck, Mick.”“We’re at the end of our rope, so rather than use it to strangle you, we’re taking action.”
"Men really respond to a firm hand.” She had the good sense not to look Mickey in the eye as she spoke. “It motivates them to behave better. Some men find it reassuring to know they will be punished for their bad behavior. Some men even find it helps them let go of” –she glanced quickly at him– “their burdens.”

It shouldn’t be so different, but maybe it is. Maybe this feeling is just for Ian.

Summary
“Hey—” Mickey’s sentence broke along with his thoughts when he saw Ian. His heart sped up, his eyebrows twitched, and his lips parted. “Uh…”
“I know,” Ian said, tugging at the shirt with a pissy frown. It did nothing to hide his abs, which were clenching. Very visibly. He let go and fiddled with the knobs and buttons on the washing machine. “We’re gonna have to call the super. Something is wrong with the washer. My shirt shrunk.”

Do you know when you regret something one second after you’ve done it?

Ian's boss needs a job done; Mickey's temporarily closed for business.
I'd elaborate more, but where's the fun in that.

Summary
'Ian stared at his friend and long-time fuck buddy in complete and utter shock. He had never seen Mickey anywhere near this irate outside of when someone messed with his cash flow or disrespected him while at work. The worst part was that Ian was at a complete loss as to what had gotten the other man so upset.'
Ian is an escort, and Mickey is a drug dealer. They're fuck buddies, and everything is fine until Ian tells Mickey that he's prepared to bottom for the first time for a client of his.
