Ok. This one will fuck you up. Seriously, it’s one of two gallavich fics that left me numb and crying but it’s fucking spectacular. Ian is terminally ill and meets Mickey. He decides he wants to live his final days with him and they run away for Ian’s last chance to experience life. A truly beautiful fic but.. not a happy ending. You will cry. Could not recommend it more. Rating E; 41k words.

Boy In The Box

I can’t really summarise this and do it justice so imma copy and paste the summary from ao3.

“But I thought…Mickey’s dead,” the red-head whispered to Mandy, speaking softly like he didn’t expect Mickey to be able to hear him, or understand, like he was stupid.

“He wasn’t dead,” Mandy said clearly, like she was speaking to Mickey, too. “He was just…lost.”
