Axl never expected to fall for his bandmate. But somewhere between late-night rehearsals, shared cigarettes, and stolen glances, the lines blurred-and Slash became something more.
Now, the world is watching, the past is haunting, and love has never felt more dangerous- .... or more right.
With the band's support giving them strength, Slash and Axl try go along with feelings but they find it difficult. The hard confessions, big confusions and the secrets.
But Axl's trauma runs deep and Slash wants to know.
What happens when trust is tested, hearts are exposed, and privacy becomes temptation?
A story of healing, discovery, and a love that refuses to be silenced.

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.
