Summary
What if Season 5 Mickey won the Powerball right before Ian went into that infamous manic state? This fic explores that world.
~~~
This fic is now complete & binge-able.

NB:
Before you even click to enter, right off the bat, I’m telling you: Read the tags. Make note of the character list. We’re in Season 5 here; I’m tapping into S4/S5 feels as needed. Mickey and Ian will be co-parenting Yev with Svet. There is a character death toward the end of the storyline, again, it is neither Mickey, nor Ian. If any of that makes you uncomfortable, please take care of yourself and walk away – I will not be offended.Series

Summary
Everyone knows that the house at the end of Trumbull has magic.
A reimagining of seasons 1-5, in a world where the mysterious Milkovich matriarch was a modern middle-of-the-city witch who passed the tricks of the trade in to her two youngest children. While their world falls down around them, Mandy seeks solace in the family gift while Mickey rejects the notion that he is anything other than Terry Milkovich’s son. This is not a crash course in crippling power; it's series of snapshots into the way that taking the long way around doesn't mean you end up where you started, and that all roads lead home.

Summary
Mickey spent years fighting to make sure Ian Gallagher knew he was loved and protected. He fought against every obstacle to stay by Ian’s side. Everything he became was for Ian, but when Ian left the love of his life with a simple 'I love you' 'I’m sorry' he never realized the mistake he was making. Mickey drove over that border into Mexico with nothing but Ian’s cash and an empty heart.
Mickey Milkovich became instantly untraceable. Ian suffered the consequence.
Would he suddenly risk everything for a second shot with the missing fugitive?

Summary
Ian fell in love with Mickey the moment he lay eyes on him.
He was gorgeous. Tattooed fingers and a stocky build. Dark hair that matched his complexion. Eyes that could stare into his soul and tell him things that he didn’t know about himself.
Ian had been the one to go up to him. Had bought him a drink at the bar and they’d traded numbers only an hour later. It was love at first sight.
Ian had never felt this way about another person before.
