Smoke Break Seduction
It was supposed to be a quiet afternoon - but in the Gallagher house, silence never lasts long. Ian's the first to pause in the hallway, a raised brow and a knowing smirk when he hears rhythmic creaking and breathless moans slipping under the bedroom door. Carl's face lights up with scandalized curiosity. Debbie groans. Fiona just rolls her eyes - she knows exactly whose room that is and exactly what's going on. Moments later, the door creaks open. Lip steps out shirtless, hair messy, a smug glint in his eyes. Behind him follows a flushed, disheveled bombshell of a woman tugging at her jacket and trying to keep a straight face. Before anyone can ask - Fiona's arms crossed, Ian already grinning, Debbie glaring - Lip smirks and tosses a casual, cocky line over his shoulder: "Relax. She was just here for a smoke break." The door slams shut behind him, and the house erupts into chaos. Because in the Gallagher world, even a "smoke break" can set the whole place on fire.Complete

South Side Sweetheart
Lately, Lip Gallagher's been off his usual game-but not in the self-destructive way they're used to. He's up early. Out late. Sober more often than not. Focused. Secretive. The Gallagher house notices. Of course they do. He's eating breakfast at the table, not passed out on it. He showers. He's reading-for fun. Fiona's suspicious. Carl assumes it's drugs. Ian just says, "He's hiding something." But nobody knows what. Then one morning, as Lip eats toast with a rare smirk on his face, a car horn blares from outside. One short beep. One long. Lip immediately jumps up. "Gotta go," he says, grabbing his bag. Everyone follows him to the front window out of pure South Side nosiness. They watch as he strides down the steps and into a waiting car-but before he gets in, he leans through the open window and kisses someone. A real kiss. Not a hookup. Not drunk regret. Not just heat. Intention. The car pulls away before anyone gets a good look. Silence. Kev whistles. "Okay... who the hell was that?" V grins. "Lip's got a damn girlfriend." Debbie mutters, "And didn't tell any of us?" Carl: "I bet she's weird. Like, yoga weird." Lip never says a word about it. But now the curiosity is full-blown obsession. The Gallaghers aren't great at boundaries, and this? This is now everyone's business. Eventually, they learn her name-Destiny. She's the same age as Lip. A nursing student. Clean. Focused. Private. Smart. Not from the South Side-and definitely not the type of girl who usually gets mixed up with Gallaghers. But she sees something in Lip he's never seen in himself. And that scares him more than anything. When their two worlds start to collide-her calm against his chaos, her past against his present-Lip has to ask himself: is he falling for her because she's everything he's never had, or because he finally believes he deserves her?Complete

He kisses the corner of my lips one final time before pulling away, forcing my eyes to fly wide in irritation as I see the wicked yet beautiful smirk on his lips. "You can't tease me like that and not continue what you were about to start." I say boldly as I study his face as the light shines brilliantly above us like a casting spell, as though it recognises that this is a magical time between us. He teases, "And what was I about to start, Mila?" I can see what he wants in his hazel eyes, as they have a cast of lust in them, and I'm sure he can see it in mine. He is well aware of what he is doing to me and my body, as well as my want and need for more. . . . 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐚 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐯 She's lived her whole life trapped behind a wall of insecurities.

Lips, Lies & Lost Hearts
Amelia is just Ian Gallagher's smart, sarcastic friend from 10th grade - or at least, that's what everyone in the Gallagher house thinks. She's his algebra tutor, his partner-in-eye-rolling at Carl's chaos, and the one who always manages to talk Debbie down from her wildest schemes. But when Ian isn't looking, Amelia finds herself pulled into a complicated, unspoken "thing" with Lip - Ian's sharp-witted, impossible-to-ignore older brother. It's not dating. It's not a crush, exactly. It's stolen glances across the Gallagher kitchen, late-night conversations on the porch steps, and moments that linger a little too long to be innocent. Neither Fiona, Carl, Debbie, Liam - or especially Ian - has a clue. To them, Amelia is just Ian's friend. But in a house where nothing stays secret for long, it's only a matter of time before someone notices the way Lip's smirk softens when Amelia walks in... and when the truth finally slips, everyone will have something to say.Complete
