  • Coming Out
  • with some heavy parallels to S1-4
  • none of the explicit scenes from there
  • just overall theme and little moments and stuff
  • Set in 2022
  • Domestic Gallavich
  • Broadly this is post-canon to Found Family
  • which means that Ian and Mickey adopted Liam
  • But Debbie showed back up so Franny isn't really a major factor here
  • You don't need to read Found Family to read this
  • Anyway:
  • this is going to establish the backstory
  • and then future things will probably be more slice-of-life
  • like oneshots and stuff

  Summary

  If there’s one thing Mickey knows intimately, it’s that fear in the kid’s eyes.

   

  This idea came to me the other day, and I needed to write it: Mickey being thrust into the confidante role for a neighbourhood kid.

  Hat-tip to DodgerBear's The Trevor Project, which I'm like 90% sure was part of the inspiration for this fic.
