Hello, hello! I was hoping you could point me in the direction of some fics with premises similar to the grayola wip Things Beyond Mistake. Change Like Shifting Shadows is also a good reference point... basically small town angst, maybe with an enemies-to-lovers component. Just curious if there's anything else out there.
Thanks! I really appreciate y'all!
Hello! Sorry for a long wait :) I love me some small town angst. It's a bit harder to find that exact scenario with an enemies-to-lovers component... This is what we came up with. These are all great fics, hopefully some of it resonates with you
The Art Of Maintaining Moral Ambiguity - AU in which Mickey was raised in a shitty New Jersey beach town and Ian just wanted to see the ocean.
Iron & Blue - Freed up from his responsibilities, Ian heads down to a small, isolated town to deal with Monica's fallout.
Solid Skies and Slate-Blue Earth Below - A mysterious force attaches itself to Mickey and urges him to leave his life behind, to go, come on, come on-- and so he does.
these lonely woods ain't so lonely - rural AU series.
Across State Lines - Ian inspects produce on the Florida/Georgia border and meets a South Carolina farmworker (Mickey), who gets him all hot and bothered.
Where The Wind Blows Straight Through - Ian returns from a tour of duty to help Lip fix up his new house. He's hoping for some down time in a Wisconsin small town. Lip's contractor may throw a very Mickey shaped spanner into his plans.
Maybe Dancing After Death - Fresh off a prison sentence, Ian Gallagher is lost, wandering aimlessly through a life that doesn’t feel like his anymore. So when Lip offers him a fresh start halfway across the country, he takes it...
Don’t get her wrong, Yelena is still very much a deadly assassin. She’s just a deadly assassin with a day-job. She needs to maintain a living someway in this ridiculously expensive city. Being a boxing gym trainer’s not that bad, sure it’s a little boring and repetitive but it lets her stay in shape and it pays the bills. But lately Yelena has becoming increasingly distracted by a certain tall, archery-obsessed gym member who has no idea how to use the speedbag… moron.
Skye likes to keep an eye on her regulars, so when Jemma Simmons comes in entirely flustered one morning Skye can’t help but reach out to her. It turns out that Jemma Simmons can’t help but return the favor. Unsurprisingly there is no going back from this
Hey guys! ❄️ We know we’ve been a little bit absent past couple of months. End of the year was pretty busy for us but the doesn’t mean we will stop sharing fics :) So, the year is finished on a good note for our fandom, so here are some finished WIPs that you might have missed from the last half of the year. Happy reading! See you in the New Year for more recs. 🎁
Ian The Friendly Ghost - Mickey thinks the house he moved in is haunted because the doors seem to close on their own and his shit somehow gets neat. Ian's just a very polite ghost who's got a bit of a crush.
You Can Bite Me - Some vampires rave about the thrill of the hunt, but Ian Gallagher would be the first to tell you that the hunt's not all that thrilling. When he gets the opportunity to have his meals delivered right to his front door, he jumps at it.
Dancing After Death - Fresh off a prison sentence, Ian Gallagher is lost, wandering aimlessly through a life that doesn’t feel like his anymore. So when Lip offers him a fresh start halfway across the country, he takes it.
My Nine Lovers - Secret Agents Ian Gallagher and Mickey Milkovich find themselves working together multiple times over the course of ten years. They may not know each other’s names, ages, backgrounds, or what the other likes for dinner, but they know each other more intimately than anyone else in their lives.
Worth The Wait - Ian is mugged one night in Kyiv, but the muggers, upon seeing what is in his wallet, run away. Ian doesn't know what this means. Does it have anything to do with the long-distance Ukrainian boyfriend he had as a teenager?
The Rod of Asclepius - Ian is a nervous medical intern, Mickey is a grumpy nurse.
Technically - Ian Gallagher has grown up in the foster care system for most of his life, and he’s pretty sure he’s got his future figured out. That is until he falls for the bad kid who is about to change the entire course of his life.
M8TE - ABO AU. Mickey decides to use M8TE, the premiere app for unmated alphas and omegas.
Flower U-Up - Sometimes life has a funny way of working out when you least expect it. And sometimes that means that a former South Side thug ends up being the owner of his own flower shop... with a certain tall and ginger customer who just can't seem to stay away.
These Foolish Games - Ian’s new boss at TigerZone trampoline park sucks. The guy is rude and cocky. Also hot, but so what? Ian would rather focus on the anonymous guy he’s been texting with at night.
All Kara Danvers wants to do is go to college, solve the crime, get the girl, and secure her beat on the campus newspaper. Unfortunately for her, it doesn't all happen in that order.
Jemma gulped and tried to discreetly wipe her sweaty palms on her skirt. She had been preparing for this day for months and here she finally was: sitting face-to-face with the three biggest supervillains in the city. She didn't particularly want to become a supervillain, but grad school was expensive and she really needed to impress her advisors...
It's gonna be such a funny mess when Donald Trump dies of a stroke on April 1st, 2024.
Naturally everybody will think it's fake because of the date only to lose their minds (both positively and negatively based on their opinion of trump) when realizing it's real
There will be massive celebrations in the streets and on social media and lots of predictable "don't speak ill of the dead" discourse about those celebrations
Weird evangelicals will pull some weird number trick talking about how Jesus was conceived on April 1st and that makes Trump a sort of messiah and people will make fun of that
The Republicans (after they're done with the faux-sadness and faux-outrage) will stomp over each other to be his successor but none of them will succeed. They'll tear each other apart and have no single nominee for the November elections.
There will be discourse about if Biden and the living former presidents should go to his funeral (they won't, he was a traitor insurrectionist)
The Ukraine-Russia War immediately goes in favor of Ukraine as morale in the Kremlin is reduced. China similarly backs off from its threats on Taiwan.
Ten thousand new memes are made, some sticking around for years to come.
Not a month later a bunch of unofficial biographies of Trump hit the bookshelves, many with new details about just how awful he was.
