Summary
Ian Gallagher was living the dream—two beautiful daughters, a husband who adored him, and a successful career. Until tragedy struck… and his world turned upside down.
Having spent more than a third of his life behind bars, Mickey Milkovich is struggling to figure out how to move forward—trapped by his history, scared to dream of a better tomorrow.
When their worlds suddenly collide, after years apart, can their shattered hearts build something solid together?
This is a canon divergent story, that will feel like an AU, right up until it doesn’t.

First time publishing anything at all but here goes. Inspired by a post asking what concert Mickey would take Ian too, Nine inch Nails were suggested for obvious reason.... and this idea just wouldn't go away so. Mandy Milkovich scores some tickets to a Nine Inch Nails concert and invites her best friend Ian Gallagher along, but she has 3 tickets who else is going? What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
It took a lot of work, but Ian finally feels like he found himself again. Maybe he can find something else too. At least, he hopes…A rewrite of Season 6, how it should have gone, at least IMO. Starts after Ian visits Mickey in prison. Ian can’t feel anything, we all know why he was really on that bridge…fill-in from the car accident on Ian’s thoughts and taking a sharp left from there…. and dismissing the Caleb plot all together (no one likes that douchebag anyways…right?)
