No bcs i love lip and innocent (secretly a whore) reader
Imagine him taking her home to meet the gallaghers (v, kev and mickey included bcs the are gallaghers too... not up to debate) and them going at it in his room and she just puts him in the craziest positions for hours, and when they finish lip is just like: arms and legs spread ou face flush.
He just stops his whore phase, nothing compares, jackpot right there
fucking in his childhood bedroom??? his family's downstairs and she helped cook, clean up the kitchen, all sweet with gemma and amy, answering kev's millions of questions, just giggling at mickey and ian's banter all sweetly. they're like how the fuck is she with lip but also... how the fuck did lip get her??? he's so rough and she's so sweet.
they go "to bed" and something about the tiny bed, the millions of posters that lip blushes at. he doesn't have to share anymore, thank god, and the two of you stay the night instead of going all the way across town to your shared apartment.
"pretty noisy mattress." you hum, sitting on the squeaking springs with a small grin. "got a lot of use, hm?"
"stop." lip shakes his head, blushing. "guess we can't fuck, huh? sucks, because you with the babies? kinda did it f'me."
"yeah?" you laugh. "we don't have to stay on the bed." you bat your eyes at him. "or, we can be really quiet."
fifteen minutes later, you're on top of him, your head in his groin, sucking his cock like your life depended on it. playing with his balls, pressing your thumb to the rim of his asshole- which he was still getting used to. lip was furious at how turned on it made him, hips bucking and whimpers tumbling out of his mouth when you'd always cheekily thumb it. his hands gripping your thighs, moans muffled by your pussy, a free hand fingering you slowly, sloppily. the bed was quiet, except for a few hip jumps when you'd suck his balls.
his family, the ones still in the house, talking about how lip had really lucked out, how you were so sweet it was insane. lip loved it, loved that debbie and ian and mickey would bombard him with "how the fuck did you manage that?" because little did they know. he hoped they would never know.

I read the lip fic with opposites reader can you write a oneshot on when they first met or when she first met his family?
Hiii!! another one shot of rich reader x Lip gallagher! hope you enjoy 😘
Tumblr media
"Ian... I'm nervous I don't think they'll like me."
"will you relax.  Of course they will!"
You and your best friend Ian were about to go meet the entirety of the Gallagher family.  You were beyond nervous.  the only reason you knew Ian was because you had a crush on him and you asked him out.  He obviously said no which upset you at first until he explained he was gay.  after that, you two were inseparable. 
Pulling up to the Gallagher house, you felt nervous butterflies enter your stomach.  what if they hated you? what if they were mean?  what if-
"ready?" ian pulled you out of your thoughts as you got out of your BMW. 
"you might want to lock the car." he chuckles. 
As you walk closer to the door, you can hear more and more commotion coming from the inside of the house.  Instead of knocking, he barges right in and allows you a few seconds to really take in the scene.  Two kids, boy and girl, arguing over a computer, a baby crawling around, and a girl probably in her twenties scrambling around the kitchen.  Finally, you see a boy probably your age smoking a blunt on the couch while watching "to catch a predator". 
He was a sight.  He was hot.  you've seen him around school before, but you don't know his name.  He's known for doing kids homework if you pay him well enough. 
"well well well, look what ian brought here." he gives you a smirk and a once over before adding, "ian found himself some rich girl to smooch off of."
instead of letting ian talk, you immediately say, "sounds like someone's just jealous that you need to do loser's homework to get money."
he looks shocked for a second before adding, "big mouth too.  You smoke?"
"no of course not.  it's terrible for your lungs and I do cheer."
"oh she does cheer?!  her little lungs can't handle it." he mocks a sad face before you add
"at least I'll be alive when my grandkids are born."
he chuckles before taking a drag and going back to his show. ian takes this as invitation to take your hand and lead you to the kitchen.  Where it appears people multiplied as there is now another girl and a guy, you're inferring are a couple. 
"hey guys,  this is y/n.  I invited her over for dinner I hope that's okay." he looks at fiona as the commotion stops for a second.
"Yeah that's fine.  I'm fiona." she gives you a slight wave as she continues scurrying around.
the little girl is the first to run up to you.
"I'm debbie!  you're like soooooo pretty!! are you and Ian dating?" she was so cute. 
"umm no we're just friends"
"then who is your boyfriend?"
"alright shut up debbie!  I'm carl, but you can call me yours."
"yeah i think you're just a little too young for me."
"give it time sweetthing, give it time."
You found yourself getting along really well with the Gallagher family, plus Kev and V you learned.  During dinner, you and the Lip kid kept staring at each other.  You thought he was giving you dirty looks. Maybe it wasn’t going well. You, Fiona, and V end up in a deep conversation about boys, when V mentions, "i saw how you were looking at Lip, it's around 9 right now so if you want to go outside he'll be there smoking a cigarette." Fiona slaps her arm while V defends, "what?! I know sexual tension when i see it!"
"thank you V, but i don't think it's anything like that." you say while standing up to go outside.
"then why is your ass getting closer to the door?" she laughs.
"you know those things will kill you, it's not just a myth."
"that's okay. I’m experimenting to see if i’m the expectation.”
“is that your car?” you point to a beat up car sitting in their yard.
“yeah and no. It doesn’t drive, but i do bring girls here everyone once in a while. wanna hop inside?”
“if you’re insinuating what i think you are-“
“i’m not trust me.”
“whatever Gallagher.”
you two made your way inside the crammed car and it did definitely smell like weed and sex. He wasn’t kidding…
“so… you and ian?” he seriously didn’t know yet?
“umm no just friends. i’ve truthfully never had a boyfriend.”
“a girl like you never having a boyfriend? let me guess… too rich for all the south side boys? or maybe just too hot for all the losers at our school.” that comment made you blush, you were just praying he didn’t catch on.
“you know i’m not some stuck up rich girl right?”
“oh really? Let’s see, your whole family could buy mine. are you sure you’re not that rich?”
“ok fine but i’m not stuck up.”
“you are a little…” he adds wirh a small laugh
“oh yeah? give me that cigarette” you demand. he hands it over and watches curiously as you put it to your lips and suck. immediately, you start coughing which causes him to laugh, “oh god you weren’t kidding that you’ve never had one.”
“you thought i was lying?”
“maybe. thought you might have some secret life behind all the cheer and money.”
“well I do. I’m not like my family i promise.”
“well if you’re not like your family, how about you stay the night and we can just hang out.”
“you better not be insinuating anything again or i swear i’ll-“
“i’m not, you can sleep in ian’s bed, or even mine and i’ll sleep on the couch.”
“thank you Lip. I’d love to.”
little did you know that was the beginning spark of a beautiful relationship
i hope you enjoyeddd!! what else should Lip and y/n get into?? maybe some drama?

I really want to write a Shameless AU where the day after 'Cascading Failures' Mandy wakes Mickey up and is like "Fuck this shit we're leaving" and she has a plan to move in with an Internet friend in Indiana but Mickey physically can't leave because Ian Ian Ian so Mandy takes him to the Gallagher house (where Fiona is freaking the fuck out about getting her kids back) and practically begs Fiona to take her brother in like she took Mandy in (not really because they were always fighting but also Fiona never kicked her out so.....)
Fiona's obviously like "Fuck this BS I've gotta get my kids back" and Mickey says that he'll help. Because he remembers what the system is like. Being alone. Fighting every second of every day. Being in a constant state of fight or flight. And he doesn't want that for Ian. Or any of the little Rugrats.
So he stays in the basement and keeps out of the house whenever social services stop by, and cleans and learns how to cook (pizza bagels and burnt eggs) and Fiona gets him a job (because he's not staying at her house with no money coming in, and Mickey doesn't want to work at the Kash and Grab with no Ian) and he works at the Alibi because his dad doesn't come around too often (he owes too many guys money or they owe him a boot to the face) but when Terry busts through the door Kev shoves Mickey under the bar like a little kid.
Mickey goes to the court hearing, because why wouldn't he? And Ian sees him walk in with Fiona and Mickey's looking at the ground and shuffling his feet because he knows that this is too much. That he's caring too much. But Ian doesn't say anything and just sits, glued to his side, until Fiona finally gets her kids back for good and everyone's jumping up and down and Mickey's just smiling but also a little sad because he's never known a family like this.
And then it's peaceful and domestic for a while, Mickey blends into the family. Makes friends with Kev and V. Becomes an dependable ego-check for Lip, a weird cousin/older brother for Carl and Debbie, a helping hand to Fiona, and a boyfriend to Ian. And it's some cheesy Brady Bunch shit but he lets himself love it because he's gone two decades without feeling safe.
Then, of course, Terry finds him. One of his cousins tips him off. He catches Mickey walking home from the Alibi one night, really lays into him. Mickey tries fighting back but finds himself paralyzed by that old, solid fear in the pit of his stomach. So he's just hit, again and again, in the street in front of the Gallagher house.
Until Fiona's on top of Terry with a bat, and Carl's got a blowtorch, and Lip's calling the cops because getting Terry sent to jail will make everyone's life easier, and Ian's kicking the shit out of him, and Debbie's holding a pillowcase full of bricks but she's more focused on making sure Mickey's cuts aren't deep enough to do lasting damage.
And that's enough to get Terry put away for a while. Tony makes sure of it, as due to some personal revelations he's definitely not a supporter of gay-bashing. And Mickey's lying on the couch, feeling like a sack of shit. A burden on the Gallaghers. He contemplates running down to Indiana, but Mandy has seemed happier based on her infrequent texts and social media posts, and he doesn't want to bother her. Because that's what he is. A bother.
But then Ian's sitting down next to him and turning on a movie. And slowly the rest of the family trickles in. And then it's just a normal night with leftovers and action flicks and Ian's arm wrapped around him. And Mickey falls asleep, knowing that when he wakes up the next day, it won't just be a dream.

Hiiii can I poke you for a lip Gallagher x innocent reader request.
💜💜
Tumblr media
“can everyone come here for a moment?” lip called out as he stood in the middle of the gallagher kitchen. he could hear their siblings footsteps and groans as they came closer.
“what’s up?” fiona came from the next room over folding a freshly dried sweatshirt.
“i’m uh” lip looked for the right way to word it without his siblings making fun of him. “i’m having…someone over. i really like this person and i don’t want them to be scared off. so when they get here can you just…act like normal people.”
“woah woah woah.” ian cut in with a stifled laugh. “this person must be very special if you don’t want us? to scare them off.”
“is it a girl? you always bring girls home.” fiona started to smile knowingly. “ she special?”
lip held back an eye roll as his siblings started discussing on who the mystery girl was and why he cared so much about her not being scared off.
“okay, okay yeah! i just…i think there’s something more that’s going to come out of this and you guys can’t ruin that.” he spoke loudly, cutting off his siblings conversations.
“she hot?” carl perked up. everyone gave him a look, even liam.
“you’re like 15 years old carl. she’s not gonna flirt with you.” carl rolled his eyes.
the doorbell rang, and lip knew it was y/n. he gave one last knowing look to his siblings and walked to the door, looking around to make sure the mess isn’t too big.
“y/n.” he let out a breath he didn’t realize he was holding in when y/n came into view. she was so pretty and he felt himself be more and more enthralled everytime he saw her.
“hi lip.” y/n smiled warmly at him as he stepped aside for her to walk in.
“y/n, these are my siblings.” lip put a hand on her back as he led her to the living room.
“hey i’m fiona, it’s great to meet you.” fiona gave y/n a small but firm hug.
“i’m y/n, it’s so nice to finally meet you!! lip has mentioned all of you guys a lot.” y/n smiled.
“he mention me too?” carl stepped forward with a smirk. “if you ever decide you don’t like this loser, i’m here.” he winked.
“aw you’re so cute!!” y/n brought carl into an embrace with a big grin. everyone else was trying to stifle a laugh as they saw carls disappointment. y/n pulled away and walked towards ian.
“ian right? i’m friends with mandy, she said i’d love you.”
“oh lip i love her already.” ian put his arm around y/n and smiled at lip. he was a little tipsy and in that moment he felt like he had just met his bestfriend.
“oh guys i have to go, it was nice meeting you y/n.” debbie walked into the kitchen to grab her purse.
“where ya going?” fiona asked as debbie stashed stuff into her purse.
“just out.” the ginger shrugged.
“alright, don’t be back too late!” she called out as debbie speed walked outside.
“nice…meeting you?” y/n also tried calling out.
“don’t worry, she’s always like that.” lip reassured her.
“hey guys, kev and v are coming over with some booze. y/n, you drink?” fiona asked.
“yeah! i just have to warn you, i have a very low tolerance.” lip laughed as he recalled all the times he had to physically force y/n into a taxi while she demanded she got one more drink.
“okay, let’s get this party started then!”
-
“veronica where did you get those earrings? they’re so cute.” y/n asked loudly as she had her arms embracing v.
“how many drinks have you had y/n?” veronica laughed.
“oh she’s only had 2.” lip laughed.
“shhhhhhhh lip shhh.” she put her fingers on his lips to shut him up.
“i love your family lip you guys are so much fun!!” y/n started tearing up as she looked around the living room.
“please don’t start crying.” lip groaned.
“and you guys have been so welcoming. i don’t deserve this.” y/n put her head in her hands crying.
“alright i think it’s time for you go to lie down y/n.” lip laughed, helping the girl get up.
“you guys have been through so much and you’re still some of the most fun people i’ve ever met.” the girl continued as lip brought her up the stairs.
lip carefully walked into his room, laying down y/n as gently as he could.
“thank you.” y/n cuddled into lip and burrowed her head into his chest with a small sigh.
“for what?”
“for everything.” y/n smiled before dozing off. lip couldn’t contain his smile of awe at the girl cuddling him.
he normally wasn’t a softie, but seeing such a beautiful and innocent girl laying on him made him want to be perfect for her. to get better, to make sure no one harms her anymore.

South Side Story
Shameless Fanfiction Season 1
Desna Hills has come living in the Southside of Chicago four years before. Taken in by Kev and V, Desna is close friends with the Gallaghers. Let's see how this Southside story unfolds.
Warning: This chapter contains smut
MASTERLIST
<< Previous - Next >>
Tumblr media
Chapter 20
Veronica had no idea what she was asking of Desna.
She had to go to Sheila, so that she could make Vee the dress for the wedding, and Vee wanted for Desna to come with her.
"You have to come," she had said to Desna with a frown, "It's my wedding dress, you can't miss that."
Desna had tried all she could to convince Vee to not force her to go, but it was Vee special day, and Desna really wanted to stay there for her. So now she was with Vee, Fiona and Debbie in Sheila's livingroom, as the woman was measuring Vee with a tape measure. Desna was sitting on the couch, but she didn't miss the glance that Karen was giving her from where she was sitting, on the chair of the table.
It had happened that sometimes they spent lunch together, because of Lip, but the two girls never spoke to each other, only snapping some comments here and there.
"You don't have to go crazy, Sheila," Veronica said, as Sheila had started to pin fabrics around her, "But as close as Vera Wang as you can get," Desna smiled, shaking her head. But she really was admiring Sheila's work. She really could make a dress from scratch, that was really impressive.
"You are going make a beautiful bride," Sheila said sweetly.
"Oh, Sheila!" Vee exclaimed, putting a hand on the woman's shoulder, "You're making me feel like Cinderella."
"As you should," Desna said earning a fond look form Vee.
"Screw Cinderella," Karen's voice made them all turn, "Little doe-eyed bitch. Probably one of the worst role models for little girls," Desna scoffed.
"Right," she said, "Kind, generous who at the end of the day married rich, yeah... Who'd want to be her?" Karen glared at her.
"Yeah," Sheila said, "I think Cinderella was a feminist," Desna nodded her head.
"The whole idea of marriege is useless a useless vestige of archaic civilization," Karen argued back, and Desna frowned, as was doing Fiona as well.
"How do you know?" Debbie asked sckeptically.
"I watched one unravel," Karen answered simply, and Desna looked at Sheila glaring at her daughter. It must have been very sad to hear Karen talk like that, because of her marriege. A bitch even to her mother.
"Oh, so a bad example of one makes them all bad?" Debbie challenged Karen.
"Marriege was nothing more than a legal exchange of women for properties," Karen said and Desna shook her head.
"Now's no more like that," she said standing up to go towards the kitchen.
"Maybe you're just being a little pessimistic," Desna said Fiona say.
"It's just a piece of paper!" Karen exclaimed. Desna observed Vee's expression. That was her special day, why could she not keep her mouth shut.
"A birth certificate is just a piece of paper," Debbie answered, and Desna could feel her lips turn up in a proud smirk, "And money is just a piece of paper. But those are pretty valuable."
"True, Debs," Desna said from the kitchen. The little girl smiled at her, while Karen turned with a glare. Desna heard Vee talking about the bachelorette party, but she wasn't listening because Karen stood up and walked towards where she was. Desna didn't look at her, as she was pouring herself a glass of water.
"You really like being on my nerves, aren't you?" Karen whispered stopping next to her, loud enough so that Desna could hear her, but not enough to be heard by the others.
"It would mean that I'd take you in account," Desan answered simply, "So take whatever I say, however you want," she was about to move, when Karen put herself in front of her, stopping her from walking.
"I know you're jealous of me," Desna scoffed at Karen's words, "Me? I simply hate you," she said with a fake smile, "Keep it in mind."
Desna observed the girl, for a moment, but after that from her lips escaped an ironic laugh, "As I said, I really don't give a shit what you think about me," Desna said, before making her way towards the living room.
"Babe, we are clubbing!" Vee exclaimed as Desna got closer, "Short dress and high heels," Desna laughed.
In the afternoon she was in her room chosing her dress for the bachelorette party, when a knock came from the door. She turned, smiling when she saw Lip on her door. His shoulder leaning against the frame, with a smirk.
"I've been changing three dress," she said.
"So I've missed one," he answered, the smirk never leaving his lips as he entered the room, closing the door.
"Which one did you like best?" she asked taking another dress from the wordrobe. A smerald green one, short and thight around her body.
"You going out like this?" he asked eyeing up and down as he sat on her bed. Desna glared at him.
"Bachelorette's party," she said, "What? You jealous?" she teased, but he just shrugged his shoulders, lighting a cigarette. Desna chuckled, going towards him, setting herself in between his parted legs, her hands on his shoulders as his set on her hips.
"I liked the blue one," he said eyeing the dress resting on the chair, then his hands gripped her asscheecks, making her yelp in surprise, "But I'd fuck you in this."
"Oh yeah?" she said leaning down, as he put the cigarette away so that their lips could touch, "If I'd put it on at the wedding?" she asked as she kissed him, and he groaned against her lips.
"I'd have to stay away from you," he said, pulling her close by the waist. She smiled, lightly biting his lip.
"What if I'd be with no panties on?" she whispered and he groaned again.
"I'd fuck you in the bathroom of the Alibi," she broke the kiss, liking the answer, then she walked towards the wardrobe.
"I've got a situation here," he said laying down on her bed, with a frustrated groan.
"I'm a bit busy," she said teasingly turning to him, "But feel free to take care of it, I like to watch."
Lip chuckled, "Shit, you're bitch," she liked to leave him hot and bothered.
"You didn't ask me if it worked," Lip said, his hands behind his back as he took back the cigarette, his eyes always on her, "With the priest."
Desna smiled, "You made it."
"Yeah..." he said and she turned to look at him.
"I knew it'd worked," she answered, "It's your plan, and Carl must have hurt him pretty bad."
Lip laughed, "That's true, he knocked him down."
She knew that Carl was safe, not only because his brothers went with him, but Carl was a boy that took shit from anyone. In that she admired him. She wasn't that brave when she was his age.
"You going to the Alibi tomorrow?" she asked after a moment, "For the bachelor party?"
Lip nodded his head, sitting back up, putting out the cigarette, "Ian too. Ah, he's got a date tonight," Desna put on her clothes back, looking at him with a frown.
"Kash?" she asked.
"At his house," he said, gesturing for her to come closer, which she did. Desna took his hand letting him pull her towards him, "You busy now?" she set on his lap, his arms around her.
"No," she said brushing her lips against his, "And the house is empty," the her hand moved down to his crotch, touching him through the jeans. From his lips escaped a moan, "Maybe I should take care of this," she whispered.
But he gripped her wrist, "I want to fuck you so hard," she gasped as he threw her on the bed, putting himself in between her legs, rubbing his clothed croch against hers. She let out a moan, loving how his hard cock felt against her core.
"Will we ever have a conversation without ending up fucking?" she asked letting out a sound that was a mixture of a laugh and a moan.
"We can talk while we fuck," he said as his lips attached to her neck and his hand went inside her pans, Desna moaned, "I thought you were angry," he said a finger entering her.
"Why?" she gasped, her eyes close as he moved his fingers, her hand in his hair.
"Your face when I've talked about Karen," Desna was too focused on what he was doing to her, to even being able to roll her eyes.
"Because you want to fuck her in my house?" she moaned, as his hand kept working on her, his fingers inside her and his thumb against her clit as his lips were attached to her neck, "I don't care," she moaned and that made him stop to look at her.
"Yeah?" he asked and she didn't even realized when he had pulled down his pants, but suddenly he was inside of her, "You don't care if I fuck her?" his hips moved immediately, not giving her time to adjust, and that made her moan loudly, "At all?"
"I thought-fuck, that you... didn't want-ah... for me to be jealous," she said, the bed rocked against the wall, due to his hip thrust, "Fuck..." he was hitting her so good, so hard.
"I like when you want me," he panted, his hips moving fast, his hand pulling up her thigh so that he could go deeper.
"I want you-ah," she said in a moan, "I want you so much, but... fuck... I know that you think about me while you fuck her," he stopped his movement and that gave her the chance to push him on his back, so that she could sink around him.
"Fuck!" he exclaimed, his eyes closed and that made her smile.
"You like to fuck me better than her," she said every word was meet with her movement around his cock.
"Shit," he moaned, when she put her hands on his chest to have better leverage.
"You've fucked me everywhere," she said in a loud moan, knowing that he like to listen to her letting out those sounds, "Here-fuck," she moaned, "In your house, at school... more than once a day," she moaned, moving her hips faster. His eyes were close, as she leaned over so that she could whisper into his ear, "You love to fuck me so much," she said, his hands on her hips, helping himself to thrust up inside of her, "And I love when you fuck me so much," she moaned, her eyes closed as she could feel him buried so deep inside of her.
"You love it when I fuck you?" he asked, rolling her over once again, so that he could stay on top of her, his hips moving fast, his lips found hers as she buried her fingers into his hair.
"God, yes," she moaned as he thrusted up inside her.
"Fuck," he moaned, "Fuck, you clench around me so good," he said and she moaned as his fingers started to play with her clit, "I love this pussy so much."
"Lip, fuck," she moaned, her eyes closed, "Don't stop, please, please don't stop," his hips were moving so good, the sound of their skin slapping was so sweet, and she felt herself getting closer.
"You're only mine," he groaned into her ear, "This pussy's mine, fuck, you're so pretty when you come," she moaned feeling her climax closer and closer, his fingers working on her perfectly with his thrust, she felt so much pleasure, she almost whimpered from the plasure.
"You feel so good when you come around me," he groaned, his hips starting to move erratically, he was close too.
"Lip, you feel so good," she cried, "You're cock feels so good."
"Fuck," he moaned, his head reasting against her shoulder, focusing on the moviments of his thrust. Desna felt overwhelmed buy the pleasure, she was feeling so much at the same time. The only thing she was able to say only his name.
"She doesn't feel like this," he muttered, "Fuck, I love fucking you so much," and they climaxed to together, she could only cry out as he moaned against her ear as he emptied himself inside of her. They stood in that position, as they both tried to get their breath back to normal. Desna could feel her legs shaking and she kept moaning as he rode them both out of their high.
"So, my pussy is yours?" she asked with a teasing smile. Lip chuckled, kissing her neck.
"Shut up," he said, and Desna brought him up so that his lips could be against hers. She kissed him, bringing him closer, her arms around his shoulders, as his went around her hips.

shameless headcanons: halloween🎃
a lot of these are pre-canon 🕸️
since it was autumn in chicago, a lot of the time the kids would save their candy for winter just in case shit got so bad they didn’t have food.
ian and lip would stay up watching horror movies every year, lip always jumped at the jump scares and ian would laugh at him.
they always made their own costumes at home (fiona and v would team up to make them) but there was one costume bought at the store, a princess dress and tiara from when fiona was little. fiona wore it for as long as she could fit into it, as did debbie.
halloween parties are thrown every year (1999-present), because of course, gallagher’s know how to fucking party!
every halloween ian takes pride in scaring his siblings like this.
as seen in the season 1-9 intro, debbie covered liam in toilet paper for halloween one year and he went dressed as a mummy. fiona scolded her for wasting toilet paper, but laughed at the quick, convenient costume.
lip used to willingly/happily give out halloween candy, maybe in his house with tami and freddie now he still does it.
the irish twins (lip and ian + debbie and carl) always had matching costumes, lip and ian as iron man and captain america, carl as peanut butter and debbie as jelly, etc.
debbie is very good at carving pumpkins and brags about it, like she carves flowers and faces and cool shit into them. meanwhile, carl carves a dick or a basic jack-o-lantern face (that debbie mocks, obviously).
ian and carl like candy corn, the rest of the siblings hate it.
all of october, mickey gives ian many new nicknames- you know, vampire, dracula, pumpkin (inspired by this post), candy corn, etc.
debbie bakes for the halloween party every year and she takes it VERY seriously.
kev and v always have matching couples costumes that are wildly inappropriate (inappropriate in a slutty way and in a controversial, could get you cancelled on twitter way).
debbie is a PROUD pumpkin spice latte defender and is seen drinking one all throughout october. she tried to convince franny to try it and franny spit it out so she now just gets hot chocolate from starbucks.
much like debbie, mickey is oddly good at carving pumpkins, however he goes down the same route as carl and carves dicks into pumpkins (meanwhile, ian is shitty at it like carl but attempts to make his pumpkin look good).
we know that the milkovich siblings (+ sandy) used to go trick-or-treating, and i imagine that they would work together to make their costumes. mickey would give himself tattoos with sharpie and his entire outfit would be too big as he stole it from the thrift store or one of his brothers.
halloween was the one night where fiona would let the kids eat whatever they wanted, but she would soon regret it as she realized that carl and debbie would just stuff their faces and end up puking by november 1st.
happy halloween! 🦇

What do you think fionas childhood was like 💓
I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY thanks for asking :pp.
I used to be a reallly big fiona fan, so I've thought about this a lot.
I imagine fionas upbringing was similar to Debbie's in alot of ways. They both find themselves in problematic relationships, forced to look after their siblings.
Fiona is mentioned to have a LONG sexual history as early as s1, where she's only 21. Given the lack of attention and validation she was getting, I think fiona has been having sex since she was a child. She probably fell into the "mature for her age" group. Her parents were neglecting her, possibly physically abusing her (we've seen Frank hit his kids in the show), and she wasn't able to get academic validation because she had to drop out. It wouldn't surprise me that this led her into having older bfs and stuff like that.
This makes even more sense to me given how she reacts to her siblins minor /adult relationships. Fiona didn't have anyone to tell her that her relationships were wrong, so when she saw her siblings going through the same thing, she saw nothing wrong with it. Like when she says that ned and Ian is "just sex"
We also see that she , like Debbie and a lot of the other female characters, is scared of abandonment. She tells Jimmy Steve that everybody leaves and keeps going back to Jimmy even though she knows he's bad for her because she's desperate for someone to stay. She rushes into relationships, remember when she married someone after like a week of daiting ?? Fiona has a hard time accepting love even though she craves it. She cheats and ruins one of her most stable relationships. I think that all comes from the way she was treated in her romantic relationships as a child. Of course, a lot of her abandonment fear comes from Monica, too.
Okay moving away from guys.
We know fiona ran track in school and that she was really fucking good at it. This was probably one of the most stable things in her life, an activity away from her siblings and the stress of home. Running is a good way to feel in control. I think fiona developed problems around running ? I'm not sure what exactly you would call it. Fiona would push herself too hard on the track so that she was responsible for the aches she felt instead of them being stressed. I can also imagine having an ED around this time. Her siblings are young, so they're struggling even more with money than normal. She starts to skip meals, and eventually, she finds control in what she eats when she's forced away from track.
I imagine fiona to be relatively popular in school, mainly with guys, but she struggles to keep real outside of school friendships. This changes when she meets Kev and V. I think they probably met after she dropped out of school. V is like 23, I think, in the first season and Kevin 25 ish ? I'm not really that sure, but we know fiona didn't go to school with them. Kevin and V helped fiona a lot, and she definitely needed them. They started to help her with the kids, and for once, she had people on her side. Things get better for her when she meets them.
Baby fiona (5-12) was definitely the in ur face demanding respect, kinda kid. She was sassy and always trying to seem as strong as possible. She will haggle prices for anything and isn't afraid to scam and cheat to get what she needs for her family. But I also imagine her being good at acting sweet. She's a great sweet talker. This is a prominent trait Ian has, and I think he got it from his big sister.
Teens, she's all about drama. Boy drama petty teen girl drama, watching reality TV when she can and stealing gossip magazines. I think she latches onto the typical teen girl image hard. She definitely has a short phase of always getting dress coded. I don't think this lasts that look tho.
Same as in the show, she's always got a new job, sometimes working 2 or 3. She's stressed ofc but learns a lot. She has little hacks and tricks for almost any job. She's resistant in the way she will do anything. Nothing is too dirty or hard for her.
Her relationship with Frank is complex. Fionas Frank's favourite, but she's also the oldest and likely the one he takes his anger out on most. When ur someone's favourite, it hurts them even more when they feel you messed up. I don't think Frank was consistent with his abuse, but it was definitely there. Frank was a 'good' dad sometimes. Fiona gets to know Frank when his alcoholism and drug use wasn't at its peak (He gradually gets worse with age) So fiona got more good dad moments but also felt the disappointment harder as she watched him get worse.
Fiona tells lip (pretty sure it's him) that he's always been Monica's favourite in s1, and I think she has always thought that. Later on in the show, u obviously see Ian and debbie are monicas favourites, tho. I don't see Monica and fiona ever being particularly close. Fiona was hit hard when Monica leaves for the first time, Frank's a mess, and now she has the unfortunate job of explaining that she's gone to her siblings. Unlike her younger siblings, who are probably too young to fully understand what's going on, fiona feels the abandonment full force.
Fiona is 4 / 5 yrs older than lip, right? (Their ages confuse me so bad) so she I'm guessing she was always in a different school than him. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if he's in elementary school, she's in high school. Fiona has to miss school to run all over the place and collect her siblings from different places. She might have to be the one to unroll her siblings in school, too, a couple times.
Finally just some random things
She has a purple flip phone at one point that she's super protective of
She loves family movie nights and would try to do as many as possible.
She cried when Debbie was born cause she was so excited to have a sister.
Similarly she cried when Ian was born cause he was a boy and she wanted a sister.
She really wanted a pet when she was young
She has 100s of diary's from yrs and yrs of writing in them (we see Carl read one)
Would always struggle with her hair cause it's curly and v helps her learn how to style it even tho she hardly does
She's the kind of person who finds comfort in sitting on the floor, in the bathroom, bath tub
Had a pink hating phase
Had a collection of different fake IDs by the time she was 16
Definitely got in at least 1 fight in school cause of boy drama
Hated cooking
ANYWAY I love fiona

Better
Chapter 1: Not A Nice Guy
Authors Note: Did you miss me? Lol be patient with me y'all, I'm building a universe and have a couple more white boys of the month to add to it xoxo See the post before this one for Charlotte Fisher's aesthetic (its not my fave and I'll probably make a better one soon. Ofc you can imagine her as you want, but occasionally her appearance will be described. This chapter is short but they'll usually be longer :)
“First shower!” 
“Fuck that! You’ve had it first everyday this week!” 
“Yeah, neither of you are getting it, Carl needs it more.” Fiona sighs, picking up a toy fire engine that almost took her out laying on the floor in the hallway. “Ian, you need the phone today don’t you? It’s yours if you can take Liam this morning. Lip, take out the trash will you?”
“Debs!” 
“No,” Fiona huffs, shoving her brother’s shoulder. “I asked you, not Debbie. She’s helping with breakfast.” 
“Fucksake.” The blond groans, tightening his pajama pants and jogging down the stairs to grab the trash bag. He snags a cigarette off of the counter, letting it hang loosely in his mouth as he heads out the door. “Heavy ass bag.”
Lip’s head shoots up when he hears a clatter coming from the direction of Kev and V’s house. “Ow! My nail.” a feminine voice whines. 
Lip drops the trash in the bin and crosses over their connecting grass to look into their driveway. “You alright, V-” he’s caught off by the sight of a pretty girl in a short skirt, dragging a suitcase from the trunk of Kev’s car, clothes spilling out, a bright pink thong on the ground in front of them. “Not V. What, is Kev having an affair or somethin’?”
The girl’s head shoots up, revealing big brown eyes and pouty pink lips, her silky black hair bouncing with the sharp movement. “What? No. I’m not-”
“New foster kid, then?” He questions, tearing his eyes away from her to glance at the ground again, eyeing the underwear and chuckling lowly when she squeals, slamming her foot over it to cover it. 
“No!” she yelps, dragging her foot closer to her before clearing her throat. “No. I’m Charlotte Fisher. V’s my cousin.” The girl rolls her shoulders back to stand up straight, completely letting go of the suitcase and letting it clatter to the ground, releasing a helpless laugh at her own expense. The sound rings in Lip’s ear. Sighing she holds her hand out for him to shake. 
He takes her soft hand into his rougher one, careful not to squeeze too hard as he shakes her hand. “Oh yeah? Lip Gallagher.” The girl snorts, quickly taking her hand back to cover her mouth while Lip absently wonders how many different sounds she was going to make in this encounter and how many more he could get her to make. “Somethin’ funny?”
“I’m sorry…just…your parents named you Lip?” Her giggles get louder and Lip just stands there. He doesn’t know what to do. If anyone else laughed in his face like this, he’d crack their jaw. Or call them a bitch and flip them off, cause hey, his sister taught him not to hit women. 
But this…he didn’t care. He just liked the sound of her laughing. Even if it was at his expense. But whether he liked the sound or not, that didn’t get rid of the heat on the back of his neck. “It’s actually Phillip. Lip is short for Phillip.”
“Phillip.” Charlotte smiles, leaning against the car, jumping a little when the alarm sounds. Her hands cover her ears as she squeezes her eyes shut. 
“Damn it, Lottie!” V comes running out of the house, tugging on her robe, car keys jingling in her hands, turning the alarm off. “I told you to wait for Kev.”
Brown eyes go wide, and pink lips turn downward slightly. “No, I know, but I needed to change my clothes, and take a shower.”
“Could’ve borrowed some of my clothes.” V shrugs, tossing a bra back into the spilled suitcase.
Charlotte stares down at her feet, tilting her weight from one hip to another. “Didn’t want to.”
“Why the hell not?” V says incredulously. 
Lip snorts, shaking his head. 
“Somethin’ funny, blondie?”
“Nah, V, I was just tellin’ your cousin here, that I’d take her bags in.” 
“Oh yeah? Bet you were, take it inside and put it in the living room, Kev will take it the rest of the way. Charlotte, you can use the bathroom upstairs.” Her eyes follow the younger woman inside before her hand shoots out to stop Lip from following her in, gripping the back of the wife beater he has on. “Don’t even think about it, Lip. I’m serious.”
“Think about what?” the blond shrugs, leaning to the left to look over V’s shoulder at Charlotte’s ass as she heads up the stairs.
“Hey, hey!” she snaps her fingers in front of his face. “She’s a nice girl. And she doesn’t need any of the Gallagher bullshit.” 
“Isn’t your best friend a Gallagher?”
“Hm,” she pauses, tapping her chin sarcastically. “Well, if Fi starts eye fucking my cousin I’ll let her. Bag down, then outta my house.”
Lip rolls his eyes, hauling the other bag under his shoulder. “Heard you.” 
And he had. Heard her. Lip respects V…and sometimes Kev. They should know better than to move a hot, of age girl next door to him. She’s 19, only a year younger than Lip, pretty face, body, well, she’s got V’s genes. That’s all of the information he got from the recon Carl did for him. It was perfect.
So that’s how he got here, standing outside of Kev and V’s house, throwing rocks at the window to the spare bedroom because suddenly, V started locking the front door. The window creaks open and suddenly a head full of black shiny hair falls through. “Phillip? What are you doing?”
“I am…” he glances around, checking for any sign of V. “takin’ you out. Show you around this shithole.” 
“I would like to but I can’t.” She hums. 
“Any reason why?” Lip places his hands on his hips. Charlotte disappears back into the house but leaves the window open. “Did V say something? Because I think she’s just menstruating or something, she’s generally one of my biggest fans.”
“Nope!” She chirps, bounding out of the front door, pulling on a pink blazer over a white dress. “But I’m job hunting.”
“Don’t you look cute.” Lip smirks, reaching over and adjusting the girl’s collar. He eyes the clean fabric and all he could think about is wanting to dirty it and rip it apart with his hands “Where you interviewing at?”
“A couple different places.” she hums. “M’Staying with V and Kev for a while so I can be on my own. You know, learn how to be independent. It’s what my parents want. I’ve got a list see.” She pulls out a crumpled piece of paper with little characters on the side, turning it to show Lip. “Lots of ‘em, see?”
Lip takes the paper, scanning over it before looking the girl up and down. “You dance?”
“I dunno, sometimes? Why does that matter?” The girl asks, pulling out a pink rhinestone bedazzled phone. “Signal sucks.”
“Not that kind of dancin’ at least three of these places are strip clubs. Don’t seem like the type-”
Charlotte gasps, leaning closer to lip to eye the paper again, letting him smell the sweet scent of vanilla. “Which ones?”
“I’ll get rid of them.” he smiles, ripping part of the paper. “There we go, that leaves a few.”
“Any drug fronts or prostitution rings on here I should know about?” She asks, tilting her head as she looks at the remaining places on the list.
Lip glances back at his house, where Mandy was no doubt asleep in his room. Blue eyes scan the window carefully before he dips his head imploringly at the girl, wetting his bottom lip. “How about I go with you, we’ll hang out.”
A dimpled, shy smile appears as Charlotte looks off to the side, “Dunno.”
“Okay, I mean it’s up to you, I’m just from here, and you’re new, just lookin’ out for a family friend.” he shrugs. Lip could all but feel her wide eyes following her as he walked slowly back toward his house with absolutely no intention of going inside. Three…two…
“Hey, Phillip? Wait.”
“Yeah?”
She rocks on her feet, grinning at him widely. “Would you come with me?”
Lip lets his eyes scan the woman one more time, letting a wolfish smile spread across his face. “Um…yeah, sure.”
“And this would be your uniform.” The greasy manager leers, dangling the outfit on the hanger in Charlotte’s face. 
Lip chuckles to himself quietly around a tooth pick, watching as she studies the skimpy outfit. Skin tight baby tee and matching elastic booty shorts that are barely enough fabric to not be considered panties, pretty covered up compared to the other outfits the rest of the southside shithead managers had dangled in the girl’s face all afternoon. Her manicured nails pinch at the fabric as a line forms between her furrowed brows.
“I-is this what all of your servers wear?” 
“The ones that look like you, honey. But if you like, I’m sure I could find you somethin’ smaller.”
“What?”
As much as he was enjoying the show, he’d rather not watch this gross old fuck mess with the untouched forbidden fruit when he was trying to get there first. He’d noticed throughout their little day out that Charlotte wasn’t the brightest. Functioned just fine but didn’t know how to bargain for shit. The fact that she’d graduated high school put her miles above most of the fuckers out here but she didn’t seem to know that. V and Kev gave her free reign to figure out her own situation. She also didn’t know that her cute little pink resume wasn’t what was getting all of these middle-aged, sweaty assholes to offer her jobs that she could literally start tonight. “You…uh, you don’t wanna take him up on that, alright?”
Charlotte studies Lip’s face, shifting closer to him unconsciously while wrapping her arms around herself and pouting. “Nothin’ left on the list.” she sighs loudly and tucks the uniform under her arm. “I’ll take it.”
“Perfect!” the man claps. “See you at 8. That’s when we have our rush. Bring your fine ass and we’ll make you some cash, honey.” 
Charlotte huffs out another sigh and whirls around to slip past Lip and out of the office, both men’s eyes following her as she goes. “Those damn Fisher genes, huh? Try not to Gallagher that all up before anyone else gets a crack at it, will you?”
“Yeah, fuck you too, Alan. I’ll be back at 8 too, save a table for me.”
“So, uh, back home?” Lip asks, shoving his hands in his pockets once he catches up to Charlotte. 
“Yeah, guess so. I need to get ready for work. This is gonna be my first job.” she chirps, bouncing in her step next to him. 
“Really?” he drawls. He’s completely unsurprised, he can read privilege on her from a mile away. Maybe not a gold spoon in her mouth but definitely a silver one. “What’d you do for your mom and pops to push you out?”
“Oh, nothing. They just want me to grow up and be independent. I wanted to too! And V, I’ve always wanted to be just like her-”
Oh I’d pay to see that. “Really?” 
“Yeah.” she hums. “What about you, Phillip? Where do you work? Are you in school?”
“Um…here and there. Did the school thing, finished the part that mattered.” he shrugs, quietly ushering her to walk on the side of the sidewalk further away from the road. “I do what I can to get by.”
“Fiona told me that you’re smart. You really helped me today, it must be true.” 
Course she met Fiona. No need to wonder why she’d never introduced me. “Yeah, I can read and write. A little addition and subtraction. What else she tell you about me?”
“Um, you’re the second oldest and help her take care of Ian, Debbie, Carl and Liam. Right? I wish I had siblings, all I have is cousins and I was only ever close to V.”
“Yeah? It was lonely out there in…”
“Great Falls, Virginia.” silky black hair falls over her shoulder as she tilts it pensively. “Well I was with Mom and Dad, so, not lonely.”
“Mom, dad and boyfriend?” 
Charlotte looks over at him, both of their mouths slowly spreading into a smile. “Sometimes. Not right now.” Not that it matters to me. “Do you have a girlfriend or was this day out you trying to get a date with me?”
“No girlfriend and maybe a little. Cute things like you don't usually stumble into our hood.” The two of them round the corner into their neighborhood and Lip tries to pull ahead to see if Mandy’s hanging out in the yard. “So how about it?”
“‘Bout what?” she smiles, pulling a lollipop from her jacket pocket before holding it out to Lip, shrugging when he shakes his head and taking it out of the wrapper and shoving it in his unsuspecting hand. “You haven’t asked me anything, Phillip Gallagher.” she smiles as she takes the candy into her mouth. Lip can’t decide whether or not the way she’s eating it is intentional but god is it working. 
“I’ll pick you up from work at 8:30.”
“But I don’t start until 8.” her sweet voice calls across the yard.
Lip smirks as he makes his way back up the steps to his house. “Alright, I’ll be there at 7.”
“Hey, where were you today? Missed you.” Mandy whispers, hugging behind Lip as he pours some cheerios into a bowl for Liam. “Ian and I were thinkin’ about seein’ a movie tonight. Gonna give him an excuse to see Mickey. Be my double date?” 
Lip nods quietly to himself as he lets her kiss his neck before shrugging out of her hug to slide the bowl onto Liam’s high chair table. “Here ya go, buddy. Um…maybe, I’ve got an errand to run but I might meet up with you guys at uh…some point.” 
“Well, can I come with you on the errand? We can help out Ian after.”
“Nah, it’ll be boring.”
Mandy’s mouth slowly falls into a frown before she shoves at Lip’s back. “Fine.” she huffs before storming up the stairs. 
Lip looks after her before shaking his head and leaning down to Liam’s eye level. “Fuckin’ crazy, huh, buddy?” the toddler blows a raspberry in his older brother’s face and giggles, causing the older boy to chuckle. “Yeah you get me.”
“Hey, Lip’s in charge, Ian’s out and I'm gonna be back in a little bit.” Fiona calls out, running her hand over Carl’s head and kissing Liam’s cheek. 
“Actually-uh…Fi, I have to be somewhere, shouldn’t be long, but I’m sure Debbie can run things for a while though. Shouldn’t take me long. Be good shitheads.” Lip grabs his coat and starts to dart out of the door.
“Woah woah woah, where are you going? Meeting up with Ian and Mandy?”
“Um, since when do we check each other on where we’re going? I don’t know where you’re going.”
“With Fi to get some nice stuff for her cousin Lottie. She just moved in and she’s found a job. We wanna celebrate.” Fiona smiles, leaning against the door frame. “Your turn.”
“Get some smokes. You mind?” Lip huffs, pushing past her.
The bell to the establishment rings as Lip pushes in, immediately finding the woman he’s looking for.
“Hey, honey, new table four beers, quickly!”
“Yeah okay, comin’!” Charlotte rushes over, balancing the four beers in her arms, pushing up on her toes to get them onto the high top table while the glasses clink. “Here ya go! Can I get you guys somethin’ to eat?”
“Yeah,” the drunken man wearing the Bachelor badge slurs, “You’ve got somethin’ I wanna eat.” 
“Oh, um-”
Lip takes wide strides over, slipping his arm over Charlotte’s waist and pushing her away from the table. “Hey, Alan, invite your baby mama to the wedding yet?”
“Fuck you, Gallagher, leave some for the rest of us, what’re you gonna share this one with Frank too?”
Lip grits his teeth, grabbing the man by the front of his shirt, “Listen shithead-”
“Who’s Frank?” Charlotte asks from behind the blond.
The man immediately feels himself cool off, letting a smug smile across his lips. “Exactly.” Lip guides Charlotte away to go take other orders and slides into a booth himself, watching her work. 
Every once in a while, she would stop at his table, slipping him fries and beers, only giving him two before cutting him off and bringing soda. They would chat about how her shift was going and she would try to guess about their date that he didn’t ask her on later. During her break they went over to the game section of the bar and he taught her how to play chess. 
She showed him pictures on her phone of her back in highschool. She looked exactly like what he pictured. Pretty little cheerleader, belly button piercing, prick boyfriend lurking in the background of nearly every picture. Lip was grateful she said that’s been over for at least six months. He could take a hit, but damn, juiced up football players tend to pack a punch. Not that it’s stopped him before. 
Finally twelve a.m. came and she got off her first shift. She told Lip to meet her out front and after ten more minutes she came jogging out with a bag full of stuff. “What’s that?”
“It’s cake,” she grins, handing the bag over to Lip. “For Fiona and the kids, as an apology for keeping big brother out all night. Bad first impression as the new neighbor, right?”
“Ah, sweet, they’ll love that. Free food’s the best kind.” Lip grins, slinging an arm over Charlotte’s shoulder. “No one’s worried about when I get home. But I’d better get you there safe before V comes after me with a bat. Wanna go for a drink and walk? Cold?” he asks, unwrapping his scarf from his neck and wrapping it around hers. 
“Um, I don’t really drink outside of special occasions. And my birthday, I always get fucked up with V and Kev on my birthday.” 
“Woah, sailor, dirty words from that pretty mouth.” he nudges, smiling back at her as she looks up at him. 
“I’m pretty sure you curse more than you use regular words.” she snorts, nudging him back. “Now tell me about your day today.”
“Mm, okay, I woke up, smoked a blunt with my brother, let him beat me to the bathroom, met this absolute smoke show struggling to carry a suitcase-”
“It was heavy!”
“I lifted it.”
“You’re strong.” she hums. Lip shakes his head, guiding her up the street, pulling her a little further under his arm when some random guys on the street eye her. He holds her even tighter when she tucks herself into him when she notices them too. Lip clenches his jaw at the feeling of pride in his chest he feels when he feels her fingers grip the fabric of his jacket. If it had been Mandy they were looking at she would yell at them ‘Can I help you? Shitdicks?’. Hell, had it been Karen she’d threaten Lip with actually going with them. “Are we almost back? I guess I don’t really know the way at night. Kev was gonna pick me up but I told him I’d made a friend who was gonna take me home.”
“Yeah, um, we’re almost home. Hey, uh, make any good tips?”
“Mm yeah.” Charlotte nods.
“Really, good job, let’s see it.”
“Um, no.” she shrugs. “Oh, I think I see the street sign.”
Lip cocks his head back in questioning, “What’re you worried I’ll take it from you?” he stops walking, and she stops too. Her big, pretty brown eyes are looking everywhere but at his blue ones. “Someone else took it from you?”
Charlotte shifts her weight from one foot to another before walking past him, “I think I can make it the rest of the way. I had fun today.”
“Hey-” Lip tries again, following her toward V’s. “Who took your money?”
She lets her head fall back, looking toward the sky. “No one took it. All of the waitresses share tips, that’s what they said.” 
“Yeah? Did they pool it and let you take a portion?”
“Yes!”
“Charlotte.”
“Seriously!”
Lip’s brows furrow as he looks at her. “So what happened to yours? Because…no.” he scoffs, “no.”
“It was a thank you for being my first friend here.” She smiles innocently. He raises the bag of cakes. “And thanks for taking care of my cousin all these years?”
Immediately Lip is annoyed. Truly, his family never really minded getting free shit from people. But this, it felt annoying, and embarrassing. What, did she not think he could take her out? She’s some priss from the suburbs and she thinks the broke boy couldn’t even buy his own beers and snacks? Fuckin’ slumming it with him for her little stint in the hood? Does she really not fucking drink or did she not think he could buy her one. He lets a heavy breath out from his nose, and shoves his hands in his pockets, ready to tell her pissy ass about herself.
But then big brown eyes stare up at him, pink lips pouting, bottom lip caught between her teeth. “I didn’t mean to overstep. I just thought it would be nice…and…the manager said that the stuff would be cheaper if I was the one buying it…I just thought it would be sweet.”
A beat passes before Lip is wrapping the ends of his scarf in his hands, tugging the woman forward and to his lips, breathing out a “real sweet.” before connecting them. 
Phillip Gallagher is an intelligent man. Like real fucking smart if he does say so himself, but as he wracks his brain he can’t find one synonym, adjective, fuck-any intelligible thoughts that can describe what her soft ass lips against his felt like. Working her mouth open and cupping her jaw with his rough hand he files away the sound she made for later and tries to forget the one he made. It’s intense, satisfying, its fucking good. So, he does the only next step he’s taken since he lost his virginity at like thirteen. “You wanna go inside mine and bang one out? Since Kev and V’s is probably off limits.”
“Wh-what?”
The confusion on her face only intensifies when Carl comes stumbling out of the house with a wide smile. “Woah, you’re fuckin’ hot. You’re hanging out with the wrong Gallagher, babe.” 
“Carl! You can’t talk to people like that, fucksake.” Fiona pushes the boy back into the house before stopping in the doorway. “Oh, shit, Lottie, she’s back V! Lip, please tell me you didn’t.”
Lip huffs, shoving his hands into his pockets. “Didn’t what?”
“Hi Fiona. It’s good to see you again.” Charlotte smiles, going up the walkway to hug the older girl. 
Soon the Gallagher clan was filing out of the house, and onto the lawn, joined by Kev and V. Veronica makes her way over to her cousin pulling her into a hug. “Hey baby, how was work?”
While Ian leans over to Lip mumbling to him, “You might wanna wipe your mouth, unless you’re gonna try to sell Mandy that you’ve started wearing peach lip gloss.”
“Fuck you, its strawberry” Lip sneers, wiping his mouth with the back of his hands as his depends on who you ask, girlfriend makes her way out of the house, immediately ducking under Lip’s arm and smiling at Charlotte.
“Mandy. Lip’s girlfriend. You’re V’s cousin?”
For the third time tonight Charlotte surprises Lip, when her face falls flat, her lip curling in disgust, he doesn’t think he’s seen her look this much like V. “Girlfriend?”
Mandy straightens, and Lip finds himself gripping the back of her shirt in case she decides to get aggressive. “Yeah, girlfriend.”
Charlotte sniffs, looking around at the people chatting in the yard, and gestures with her head for Lip and Mandy to follow her a little ways away. “Look, I’m gonna show you some courtesy and not embarrass you in front of your family. Mandy, your boyfriend asked me on a date, kissed me, and asked me if I wanted to have sex with him. I did the first two, and I’m really sorry, I didn’t know he had a girlfriend. It won’t happen again.” she glares at Lip. “Believe me.”
“You bitch-”
“You can be mad at me, if you want to. But I think you should be mad at the person who owes you loyalty. You could do better. You’re not a nice guy, Phillip Gallagher.” Charlotte snips, flipping her hair and swishing past them. 
Lip knows he should be mad at her for snitching on him. He knows Mandy is probably gonna deck him for cheating or whatever she was gonna call it. But all he could think about is how many balls it took for that sweet thing to give a girl like Mandy the ‘coming to you as a woman speech’ over a little kiss and proposition. That, and the sweet scent that brushed past when she did.

imo there is something to be said for how Lip is consistently placed in the position of protector/parent. Obviously we see him take care of all his younger siblings, especially Liam. But beyond that from very, very early on in the show we see him have a strong vested interest in protecting kids, like when Karen is going to give the baby up for adoption; "Now, uh, do you check the, uh, families for, you know, um, alcohol and drug abuse? Make sure they have enough income to feed it and stuff?", "But they're still good families right? You make sure they're going to decent parents?"(s2.8)
Or in s3.4 when he convinces Mandy to help him rescue her half-sister, Molly. "She sounded desperate. Let's see if we could get her, let's see if we could help." and "If she ran, it was probably for a good reason, no?"(s3.6). Of course there's the entirety of season 4, where he's not only willing to drop out of college to look after Liam but then is afraid to even let Liam out of his sight for almost the rest of the season. And then, obviously, there's Xan in season 8 & 9, a complete stranger but still a kid in need who he then helps without question. He also gives Xan and her mom ten thousand dollars.
Also in s4 (sorry just a really good Lip season in general), it's Lip who realizes something is wrong with Ian and goes looking for him (s4.5) and then it's Lip who takes care of Fiona after she breaks parole (s4.10). On top of which, the only reason Lip is even going to college, despite vocally saying he doesn't want to numerous times, is because it'll help his family if he gets a good job; "Except the little ones Debbie, and- and Carl, and- and Liam, and, my sister Fiona. I could be there for them but I'm not. You know, 'cause I'm here. 'cause I'm told that, that's something I could do for those kids, in a big way, in a real way.' (s5.8)
This perception that Lip both doesn't care about Fiona (or the rest of his family) and doesn't do anything for them is such a misconception. Obviously, there's everything he does to help in s4, from picking up Fiona in Wisconsin to stealing food and cooking dinner every night, but there's how he does try to help Ian, like in s7.3 when he convinces Ian to take his meds. Or in s9.6 when he does a gig as a sober coach to get Ian money for his commissary account in prison. And, then, of course there's how Lip is the reason Fiona goes to AA in s9, both by convincing V to not enable Fiona, "What kind of friend do you want to be? The kind that sees her drunk at the Alibi every morning?" and also by telling Fiona, "Get to a meeting."(s9.12).
I think it's also worth mentioning that Lip only kicks Fiona out once she starts being a danger to the kids in the house, "I'm not letting you stay here! Not with Franny, and not with Liam. No fucking way."(s9.12) Keep in mind, the previous episode he had to body block Fiona to keep her from yelling around and at Xan.
It's just such a wild misreading of the text that Lip is callous or selfish in regards to his family, and especially in the context of Fiona and their relationship. When people say that Fiona always took care of Lip and he never gave anything in return, or that he pushed her to take care of their whole family and never stepped up, I think they're just willingly choosing which parts of the show to engage with and which to ignore.
Obviously there's the age gap, she's 5 years older, (in s8 Lip says he's 23 and Fiona says she's 28) so I'm not sure how much you guys wanted a 4 year old to pitch in when you bring up what she was doing at 9. But beyond that, when Lip got old enough to help, he did. We see him helping throughout the show, we see him stepping up and caring for everyone including Fiona. And it's not just Fiona he was helping, he did Kev and V's taxes, he was the one who came up for the plan to keep Debbie out of jail in s1 when she stole the baby. He helps JimmySteve throughout season 1-3.
And at the exact same time, Lip ends up having to solve most of his problems on his own or he just never brings them to Fiona in the first place. When she does find out he has something going on, her advice usually boils down to telling him to fix it; "So what are you going to do?"(s2.5) "Make it right with Ian."(s2.6) "You want to piss away every single chance you get, including this job, that's your business but don't drag me into it."(s7.10) It's also interesting how in her big "I was nine" speech in s7.12, Lip is the only one she doesn't mention.
Honestly the only character we see actually looking after Lip during his struggles with alcoholism is Debbie throughout s6 and 7. ("I don't want you to end up like Frank" being the reason he goes to rehab, "Do you need us to hide the beer?", "He's trying to get sober Frank!", and of course her confronting him in s7.11 when she finds out he's been drinking and makes sure he's going to a meeting.)
I wanna make it really, really clear that I'm not blaming Fiona or anything other character. I honestly think it's actually really compelling story telling that Lip is the sibling Fiona has a completely different dynamic with and that he's the one she consistently leans on. Not to mention, Lip clearly struggles to accept help and is pretty closed off emotionally. (Almost every big scene we see regarding their family he shuts down and goes silent.) But! I do think there's just this wild misconception with Lip's character that he's ungrateful, selfish, and uncaring towards his family. Yes he's prickly and rude and arrogant, but he's also incredibly caring and that's been a consistent character trait since day 1.

gallagher family dinners
it's sunday! which means all the gallaghers and honorary gallaghers (Kev and V) are at Lip and Tami's for weekly sunday night dinners!
it's Ian and Mickey's turn to deal with dinner so they pick up pizza for everyone on the way over. they place bets on whether or not Carl is going to bring some random girl this time who he claims is "the one" as they make their way over.
when they get there, Kev, Liam, Carl and Franny are running around the house with nerf guns. Fiona is holding Fred while her and Tami swap baby horror stories about Fred and Liam. Debbie and Sandy are laid all over each other on the couch, mickey walking past and spitting a quick "Jesus will you two get a fucking room" as they both flip him off.
"PIZZA!" Lip yells throughout the house as he and V are cutting up fruit and vegetables to put on the kid's plates. they are little plates shaped like different animals, lip jokingly hands one to Carl as he walks past, earning him a firm "fuck off" from Carl as he brushes past him. they all sit down, talking and yelling over one another, bursting out into laughter every five seconds. Franny climbs up into Mickey's lap with her pizza as Ian watches on, absolutely smitten by the sight. he moves his hands to squeeze Mickey's thigh as the two make googly eyes at each other.
"Now who needs to get a room?" Sandy jokes, lightly chucking a piece of crust towards the two. Mickey and Carl fight over the last piece of sausage pizza, eventually resorting to a game of rock-paper-scissors to see who gets it. Mickey wins and sensually bites into the piece to rub it in Carl's face.
At the end of the night, they all file out of Lip's house, Ian's arm hanging loosely around Mickey as they make their way home, slightly tipsy off a few too many beers, singing some song that they're almost definitely getting the words wrong to before making it to their apartment, immediately falling asleep in each other's arms.

I love Gallavich, I do.
It's a seminal lgbt+ love story involving two defined individual queer characters who're products of their oppressively violent environment but who drag eachother away from becoming their worst case scenarios.
It's messy but sincere and extremely well-acted throughout the shows entire run.
Their story is the heart of Shameless (US), connecting the series from its beginning to its end (same for Kev and V but their season to season shenanigans have little continuity). Ian and Mickey's love story reminds the viewer of how good the show used to be by allowing two characters who've loved eachother since season one, who were tortured by the narrative and constantly torn apart by circumstance, the pathos of a happy ending they fought for and deserved.
However, it's obvious to me that none of the Gallagher love interests in Shameless were meant to be characters in their own right. They were character assessments. A psychoanalysis of the Gallagher they were with and changed on a whim depending on what John Wells wanted to say about Fiona, Lip, Debbie, and Carl. Mickey's legacy and what he meant to people took John Wells by surprise. The writers were blindsided by the response to his character.
I don't think John Wells ever intended for Mickey to be an independent player or Ian's endgame. My speculation is the writers still don't understand how impactful Mickey overcoming fear and hate to embrace love and bravery was. Nor how unique the message was that two poor, abused, violent, "white trash" queer teens could learn to help, heal, and love eachother without a roadmap.
I don't think they ever understood why Mickey and Gallavich received the critical acclaim they did, even if I do think they tried. The writers were too deep in Hollywood thinking to get how important a character like Mickey Milkovich was to people who could relate intimately with his struggles. In their minds Mickey was always a thuggish stepping stone to Ian's eventual upward mobility. If Mickey had stayed throughout the entire run of the show I imagine both characters would've been Pretty Woman'd by a love interest with status, money, and appropriate coping mechanisms. Or Ian would've been Pretty Woman'd while Mickey fell into darkness as a black reflection of what Ian could've become.
So it's for this reason that I say, "I love Gallavich but.." They never develop balance or work through the mountain of emotional baggage that is heaped upon them.
Mickey's no1. priority is Ian and Ian's no1. priority is Ian (this isn't me Ian bashing, there are complex inworld reasons for why this is so, but mostly it's the narrative naturally prioritising the Gallaghers'), and the Sitcom framing of the later seasons does not give two characters forged in a Drama the breathing room necessary to touch upon their shared history and trauma.
So I love Gallavich, I do, but in someone else's hands they could've been an epic and powerful love story that defied convention (👀 look at all that wonderful fanfic). But I was often frustrated by the story that was actually told onscreen, filling in the blanks of their development myself using what I knew about both characters.

🍂Weekly Tag Wednesday! 🍂
I'm just in time again! Thank you for the tag Evie @energievie, Nosho @creepkinginc and Ajax @transmickey 💙 and @suchagallabitch for the questions!
0-0-0-0-0-0-0
1. if you could switch bodies with anybody for only one hour who would it be and what would you do? Hmm. Maybe one of my old athlete buddies (or my younger self) so I could run/sprint again. (Plus do a few exercises from some of my favorite disciplines)
2. what's your most trivial / dumbest hot take? The society in which we live in right now should be collapsed and rebuilt completely. The way humans are living today is not how it's supposed to be
3. if you had to teach a college course what would it be in? Photography or etymology
4. season 12 of shameless is suddenly happen and youve been put in charge! what plot point(s) are you gonna make happen? Fiona finally settles with someone and goes to therapy so she doesn't self-sabotage. Lip falls into a healthy routine with his little family and finds peace. Ian and Mickey get a cat. Debbie resolves her abandonment issues and settles with Franny (and possibly with a long term girlfriend). Carl gets the Alibi running as his own bar. Liam stays the same (but goes to therapy) and finds a hobby. Kev and V raise their daughters in peace and are undisturbed and happy. Not all rainbows and sunshine of course, this all would come with a lot of pain and drama. Just because. Oh, and everyone else goes to therapy as well. (But also I would scrape it all and leave everything as it is.)
5. who would be your godly parent? (can be any mythology.) Poseidon (I would also love to ask others what they think, I'd like to hear it)
6. what’s something you love about yourself? The fact that I raised myself to be as open and understanding as possible, when my environment was in a lot of ways the opposite of those
7. describe your day in 5 emojis: 🖥️😶😴📱🐾
8. what shameless character do you think you could beat in a fight? Tommy
9. tell us 2 truths and a lie, we’ll try to guess the lie! Ohm.
I did dressage competitively
I'm 170 cm tall
I went to school for photography and dog training
(I'm so bad at this, I'm sorry)
10. do you have a pet(s). if so how did they get their name? I have a dog named Muri (it means 'spree') and a cockatiel named Pogi
11. show us a meme (or picture) that captures your essence.
Tumblr media
12. whats your typical coffee / tea / beverage order? Iced coffee, decaf (caffeine doesn't like me), with milk and sweetener. I also like mint tea, coke and beer
13. use a song to describe the last 5 years of your life?
Huh. I thought so hard about a few of these! 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

Play, if you want to, if not, here, have this frog 🐸 or this pebble 🪨! @stocious @dynamic-power @lupeloto @jrooc @heymrspatel @ian-galagher @deathclassic @bawlbrayker @juliakayyy @suzy-queued @crossmydna @francesrose3 @thisdivorce @look-i-love-u @deedala @depressedstressedlemonzest @metalheadmickey @gardenerian @spacerockwriting @scurvgirl @palepinkgoat and anyone who happens to see this!
