Summary
“Mickey, listen to me.” Lip says. He’s holding up his hands again, surrendering. “You know what kind of family you’re a part of now, right? It’s just us. There’s no one else but us. No one’s in charge, okay? We tried that shit out, look where it got us. But I…I just relapsed, Mick, you got that? I just relapsed and it could happen again, and Ian’s meds could stop working when we least expect them to, and Debbie’s in jail and like it or not – and I don’t like it, for the record – you’re looking pretty fucking stable at the moment.”

Summary
Mickey hates all things Christmas and holiday but he does love his son. Even though he's trying his best, there's a difference between love and loving. Just like there's a difference between seeing and believing. It takes a letter, a crazy experience and the man in red to teach Mickey that.
And also bells.

Summary
"Looks pretty spooky though," Ian says, wiggling his fingers like a dork.
Honestly? It looks boring as fuck, but Mickey ain't too picky when it comes to this kinda thing. Again, he likes bad horror movies.
But when Mickey just continues to look at the screen, scepticism clear on his face, Ian goes, "What, too chickenshit?"
"No," he says defensively, before pressing play with a bit more force than necessary. And hey, if it does end up being boring, he's sure he and Ian can make things more… entertaining by themselves. "Fine. Whatever, why the fuck not?"
Famous fucking last words.
