Summary
Ian’s always been used to the cold. He knows it like the back of his hand, which is why he finds himself at home on the ice skating rink. Figure skating means being surrounded by a kind of cold he doesn’t have to shut out or run away from — a kind of cold he can make his own. When he runs into Mickey on the way to work in Boystown, he doesn’t expect them to have much in common, even when he realises Mickey has been watching him skate from afar for years. But Mickey sees the rink as an escape and a second home just like he does, a way to cover up the bruises left behind by his family with ones left by clumsy teammates and aggressive opponents. They quickly find themselves intertwined, what was meant to be a fun hook-up snowballing into something warmer and safer.

Summary
Mickey likes his life. He likes his flower shop, working with his hands, the people around him, and most of the time, even the fucking hipsters who stumble into his store.
What he absolutely don't like is that unbelievably rude, disrespectful, insanely hot firefighter asshole with no manners and no spine. The prick who moved in next door and is literally robbing him his sleep and driving him up the fucking wall.

Summary
All in all, Arthur was one of those men about whom it could be said that their heart was in the right place, although he did take great pains to hide it. Still, the core of decency made Merlin endure the thick layers of arrogance (and their thin crispy crust of arseholery) with more patience than he’d ever thought possible. There was indeed a promise of greatness about Arthur that Merlin was willing to believe in.
--
Merlin learns to live and work by Arthur's side. And vice versa.
