Presenting The Black Hearts’ fic for @gallavichsummercamp 2025! Our bunk had a blast writing this!

With incredible art by @mickittotheman

Summary:

Las Vegas… Sin City, where the hustle is real, anything and everything goes, and the summer heat burns like a motherfucker. Mickey knows better than anyone that here, it’s all about playing your cards right. If only it weren’t for the seriously sexy, redheaded casino security guard who’s a bit of a distraction — to say the least.

But winning big at the tables takes strategy, smarts, and balls. Plus, a little bit of luck never hurt anyone, especially when your sister’s found herself in trouble. What’s life without taking some chances? And what happens in Vegas… well, gets complicated — in the spiciest way.

[awaywithherhead]

It's @gallavichsummercamp finally 🏕 and The Rebellion did something!

@iceyiceice @kiennilove and I were writing, drawing, and editing to celebrate our idiots in love 🧡

I am pleased to present:

Mickey likes his life. He likes his flower shop, working with his hands, the people around him, and most of the time, even the fucking hipsters who stumble into his store. What he absolutely doesn't like is that unbelievably rude, disrespectful, insanely hot firefighter asshole with no manners and no spine. The prick who moved in next door is literally robbing him of his sleep and driving him up the fucking wall.

C'mere and read the story on AO3 🧡🏕

Chapter 2 – Don’t Be a Pussy

Posted and ready for you to binge!

Mickey had burrowed into Ian for that briefest of minutes and gulped in his scent. He smelled of Old Spice, quickly reapplied before entering the prison, minty breath mints mixed with the remains of cigarette smoke, and the mildly sour smell of sweat that clung after hours upon hours behind the wheel. It was a smell that Mickey had become used to over the past few years. It was a smell Mickey would desperately miss.

Very excited about this!

Prepare for trouble, and make it double... For this year's A.U.gust, we have double the prompts, double the fun!

Here's how it'll work:

There are two lists, one of "people" and one of "situations", so to speak. You can choose (or allow fate to choose for you) any amount of themes, and combine them as you wish, or make as many separate fanworks as you want. Ideally though, it was built this way to allow you to mix one prompt from each list, so it's more fun! You can treat this as video game levels:

Very Easy - choose one of the prompts from one of the lists only

Easy - instead of choosing yourself, use one of the randomizers (people or situations) to get a prompt (or have your followers send you prompt asks!)

Medium - choose one prompt from each list and mix them

Hard - choose a prompt from one of the lists, and use the randomizer/asks to get a prompt from the other list

Expert - use the randomizers/asks to get one prompt from each list and mix them

Insane - Use more than two promtps, randomizing at least two of them

Remember that all kinds of fanworks are accepted, as long as they're original (that is, not posted before) — and not AI! There are no requirements for this, and no need to sign up either. And this year, no daily promtps, meaning you can post your fanworks on any say of August.

As always, here's the AO3 collection for those who want to post in it.

Have fun!

If an angsty canon divergent fic is your jam, I got you covered…

Ian Gallagher was living the dream—two beautiful daughters, a husband who adored him, and a successful career. Until tragedy struck… and his world turned upside down.

Having spent more than a third of his life behind bars, Mickey Milkovich is struggling to figure out how to move forward—trapped by his history, scared to dream of a better tomorrow.

When their worlds suddenly collide, after years apart, can their shattered hearts build something solid together?

[awaywithherhead]

So excited to be a part of this!!

Hello and welcome to Gallavich Week 2025!

This year we're back to one-word general prompts and I hope you're ready to get creative!

Gallavich Week 2025 will run 15-21 of June. As always, all kinds of work are welcome, as long as they are original. Please read the guidelines after the break before posting.

Day 1 (June 15) - Sports

Day 2 (June 16) - Lights

Day 3 (June 17) - Laughter

Day 4 (June 18) - Pain

Day 5 (June 19) - Riding

Day 6 (June 20) - Rainbow

Day 7 (June 21) - Free

CREATING AND POSTING GUIDELINES (After the break)

How do I participate?

You don’t have to subscribe to anything or announce what you’re doing, you just have to post your work on the appropriate day and tag me on the body of the post using @gallavichthings. It’s important that you tag me properly so that I can be sure to see your post and reblog it.

What types of works are accepted?

Any kind of original fan work is accepted, including but not limited to: fanart, fanfiction (no minimum words required), graphics, gifs and gifsets, videos, and fanmixes. Yes, meta and polls are also accepted (though I do request that you either try to keep them within the theme for each day or post them on the Free Day).

When can I start posting?

I’ll always make one initial post for each day, at 12am GMT. After that, post away!

Can I still participate even if I don’t have a Tumblr account?

Absolutely! Just submit something here (http://gallavichthings.tumblr.com/submit).

Can I post on other social media platforms?

You sure can, but I only have Twitter, which I don't check that often anymore, so I do encourage you to post here as well, so it can be seen by more people.

Is there an AO3 Collection?

Yes, right here. Participation is not mandatory though, and you can rest assured this Collection will not be deleted.

Can I post something that I’ve already posted before?

No, sorry. The works should have been created specifically for GW. You can, however, create a sequel or a different version of a previous work.

Can I post something that is not in English?

Of course. Just make sure that it is original, or that you have the original author’s permission (and, in that case, link to the original too).

Can I make R-rated works?

Yes, just please give any necessary warnings and tell us the rating at the very beginning of the post. If the post is visual (like a fanart or a gifset), it would be nice for you to also tag it accordingly - Tumblr now allowes you to select if a post is deemed for mature audiences or not. It’s not mandatory, but if possible put it under a Read More here on Tumblr and under a spoilers mark (so it’s not instantly visible) on Twitter.

Can I post something that’s AU?

Sure thing! Tag it accordingly though, both for those who want to avoid it and for those who’d like to find it.

Can I post supernatural works, mpreg, or genderbends?

Yes! But if it’s a fic, please include it in the warnings.

Can I post more than one work?

Definitely! The more, the merrier. You can post as many works as you want, on as many days as you want, be it one post per day or ten on the same day. Anything goes!

Can I post on more than one day? Do I have to make something for each day?

Again, the more, the merrier! You can post on only one or all days if you wish!

Can I make one work that fits two or more themes?

Sure thing. I only ask that you post it on the day of the last theme included. For example, if you are posting a work that includes the theme from Day 1 and the theme from Day 4, post it on day 4 (just make sure to tell me that it includes both).

Can I write a multi-chaptered fanfiction?

Yes, and you don’t have to post everything either. When you do, just be sure to include either a masterpost, or the links to the previous chapters in the beginning.

Can I include other characters/pairings in my work?

Yes, as long as Gallavich is still the focus.

What if I can’t finish on time?

The Gallavich fandom is ALWAYS happy to see new fan material, so just post it when you’re done and tag me, ok? The same goes for people who can’t finish a work on the assigned theme day; you can still post it on a different day during GW, just make it clear which day it was made for.

🏕️ Gallavich Summer Camp is *heating* up!

It's official - we have our bunks! And they're already hard at work writing and creating art. We're so excited to officially announce them.

Introducing our first two!

The Black Hearts: @runninonemptyy @runawaybrainsc @lazystargazy & @hell-yeah-stargazer-lilies

The Rebellion: @jessij1997 @spookygingerr @kiennilove

Stay Tuned for more bunk announcements in the coming days!

[awaywithherhead]

~Happy @weekly-tag-wednesday~ --Does it still count if it's Friday? 

Thanks to @jrooc @runninonemptyy @lazystargazy @hell-yeah-stargazer-lilies for the tag

In a fantasy world, which class would you be? Definitely a dragon rider (a Pern dragon rider though, not Fourth Wing)

What's a Gallavich AU you haven't written/read yet but want to? Enemies to Lovers in a senior citizen community (trust me, I can make it work). Think a cane instead of a crow bar 😉

Chinese zodiac & element? --check here—Dragon Fire (well man, that does sound perfect) –but supposedly that means I like research and that is a most definite no-op

Your MBTI? --test here-- thoughts? ESTJ-A (Executive) – yup, I am indeed a bossy bitch lol

What's something you want to do more of this year? Write and explore new hobbies – this is the year I need to get a life

Which fictional universe would you want to wake up in? A basic utopia where hate either doesn’t exist or is not remotely acceptable  

What's your most sentimental possession? I don’t know that it’s the most sentimental (because there are a lot of things I am sentimental about), but I do love the lamp I have on my desk in my office that was on my grandmother’s nightstand when I was growing up and I always thought it was so pretty.

Are you more of a black cat or golden retriever? Definitely a black cat – a male black cat because they act like dogs and I have owned three of them.

Lovely!

[awaywithherhead]

So very enamored with this story!

Can't Have A Stakeout Without Coffee & Doughnuts

Author: lazystargazy

Summary: It’s the only thing that makes this house arrest thing worth it. People watching. Creeping the neighbors. Alright, Mickey’s not some weirdo creep or anything, it ain’t like that. It's just. . . All he has to do for now.
