Max Gallagher, the 2nd oldest of the Gallagher siblings, is 18, a high school dropout, and a good kid, but he's closed off from the world. He packs a mean punch-literally-and isn't afraid to use it.
Max's best friend, James, is more than just a friend-there's a deeper connection between them. Their friendship comes with benefits. In a world full of chaos, drugs, and violence, their bond is both a refuge and a source of tension.
With seven Gallaghers, not six, Max's story is one of love, protection, and navigating the dangerous life they lead. Max may be closed off, but he'll fight to protect the people he cares about, even if that means facing demons he's tried to keep hidden.

Ending up in her father's hometown a few months after the day her life changed forever, Morgan finds her life changing once again, and she only hopes that this time will be for the better. It isn't until after a run-in with the town's golden boy, Jack Crawford, that Morgan realizes no amount of starting over will take away the memories of the past. What Morgan doesn't know is that Jack has a secret of his own that's eerily similar to hers.

Content Warnings... * Bipolar disorder/mental health disorders and struggles *Homophobia, racism, general horrible behaviour and mistreatment * Violence, talk of blood and assault/fighting * Smut, lots and lots of smut... It's Gallavich bro what did you expect! I have written Gallavich in my own way! This is not exactly how the characters were written in Shameless, I know that. I made it more emotional, this is how I like to write. If this isn't your thing that is fine, don't read it. I just wrote this for fun, it isn't that serious. Thanks xx Ian and Mickey are from the south side, Mickey's father (Terry) Is extremely Homophobic and just a straight-up asshole so Mickey can't be too open about his sexuality. The lives they live could come across as hard-going or even dangerous, threatening or even thug life... Ish? But the love they share for each other is real, you will see.
