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.”

Enemy lines (idiom): the territory controlled by the enemy
In this slow burn, enemies to lovers story, a social justice warrior and a lawyer go head to head and learn that sometimes your worst enemy is your past and the control it has over your heart.
According to Mickey Milkovich, the last thing he ever wanted to become was a goddamn social justice warrior, but life had other plans for him. When the authors asked what he thought about this fic, Mickey replied: Who the fuck are you callin’ a social justice warrior? Imma protest the shit outta this story. #ProtestMyAss #FightFor15 #DefundThePigs #FuckULookingAt #🖕
According to Ian Gallagher, the only thing he ever wanted to become was a social justice warrior, but life had other plans for him as well. When Ian was asked about the fic, he said: Holy fuck, is Mickey here? You tell him that I’m gonna sue his ass in every court in the land, including but not limited to, the Supreme fucking Court!

Summary
In preparation for season 11, I’ve created a canon compliant (99.9%) fic for season 10 that covers everything Gallavich from Mickey’s arrival in season 9 up to their wedding night. It fills the gaps, explains their motivations and deals with the past. I’ll post a chapter each morning so that it’s complete before season 11 airs.

Sometimes your bartender serves more than just drinks.
When I read the quote below from the Parallel 49 Brewing website about one of their signature beers, Jerkface 9000, I knew it was going to be Mickey’s favorite beer.
“Hey you! Yeah... I'm talking to you, buddy. How about you grab a bottle of this Mosaic hopped American wheat beer and cram it down your pie hole. Did I hurt your feelings? Too friggin' bad. When it's this good, you ain't gotta be nice about it.”For Gallavich Week 2020 Day 5: Best Friends

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.

The one where Mickey gets a job as Ian's secretary.

Summary
Well, two minutes after I wrote what I hoped could be the missing scene from Episode 6, four pictures were released of what likely was supposed to be the scene. Part of me wants to throw the fic in the trash along with all my hopes. But we've come this far...what the hell. Here's a fic that will not ever be able to satisfy that hole left by this missing scene. Time for a group hug!

A general request was made by lovely members of my FB page for another little story inspired around this conversation:
Ian: Come on, Lip, I didn’t drink that much last night.
Lip: You were flirting with Mickey.
Ian: So what? He’s my boyfriend.
Lip: You asked him if he was single. Then cried when he said he wasn’t.Set in our favorite AU, where Sammi never happened.
