    Summary

    "Everyone needs to learn a little self-preservation here."

    It had been one of the few things that Lapin had agreed with Theobald on. Why was it then that he had resorted to self-sacrifice?

     

    Keradin never delivered his final blow on the Chancellor, but the royal family could do nothing but run away under the assumption that Lapin had fully fallen. Escaping off to sea made it impossible for Lapin to reunite with his group in his injured state upon fleeing, so truly, what else could they believe?

    (Complies with a majority of the events following episode 6)

    Summary

    The storefronts on the block were different now— fragile minimalist displays and organic coffee shops uprooting the aged wooden bar signs with peeling paint and bullet holes— but against all odds, and with everyone else moving on, he and Mickey had decided to stay.

    Summary

    Mickey has been out on parole for a year and is finally feeling good about himself--feeling free. He's holding down a good, honest job as a mechanic, going to court appointed therapy, living in his own place, and maybe even has a friend. He is finding that freedom is a journey of the mind and having good things not only means working towards them, but also believing you deserve them. However, he soon discovers how fragile those things can be and how easily everything can all come crashing down around him when a new parolee walks through the door, bringing with him some of Mickey's demons that he thought he'd long since buried.

    Summary

    The year is 1999. Ian Gallagher is 17 and co-captain of the Lincoln Grove High School cheer squad alongside his best friend Mandy Milkovich. Still deep in the closet, Ian and Mandy have an arrangement: to the outside world, they’re madly in love, two crazy kids from broken homes. Ian keeps the pervs away from Mandy, and Mandy keeps the homophobic meatheads away from Ian. When Mandy’s older brother Mickey is released from jail after serving a year for possession, they re-form their family band “Spilled Milk” with their older brothers Iggy and Colin. Ian starts tagging along after cheer practice to watch Mandy and her brothers rehearse, and quickly finds himself falling for the blue-eyed, tattooed, perpetually grumpy guitarist. Is his crush as unrequited as it seems, or could the youngest Milkovich brother be hiding a secret beneath his hardened rock-and-roll jailbird facade?
