Summary
Ian had gotten good at palming a candy bar without Kash noticing. He’d done it so many times that he could almost convince himself Kash didn’t know, but deep down he figured the older man saw everything that moved in his store. Kash never said a word though, and when he glanced up from the counter there was always something in his eyes.
Sometimes, if Kash seemed to believe that he’d had too many snacks during his shift, the older man would tap the hard-sided black kit that Linda made Ian put up on the back counter of the Kash & Grab when he arrived, reminding him that his blood glucose meter was always there, always behind the register. A little nudge for Ian to test before he left.
Ian pretended to be annoyed by it, but the truth was he liked the attention, and he liked someone looking out for him who wasn’t Lip.
It hadn’t always been like this, and Ian could still remember, however fuzzy it was, the first time he got sick, truly sick, when he was seven.

Summary
“There was an incident in the infirmary,” the guard said flatly, “Gallagher’s been transferred to Cook County.”
Mickey knew what that meant, everyone did. If the infirmary couldn’t handle it, if they went to the trouble of calling an ambulance and shipping him out, it wasn’t stitches or a busted rib. It was bad. Bad enough that he needed a real hospital. A real doctor. Real help.
---
After surviving an attack in the infirmary, Ian is left with a traumatic brain injury that changes everything. Released into Lip and Tami’s care, he struggles through recovery while Mickey remains trapped behind bars, desperate for answers and powerless to help. Even as the possibility of parole draws closer, Mickey can’t shake the fear - when he finally gets out, what kind of life, what kind of Ian, will be waiting for him?

Summary
They don’t spend a lot of time talking on the drive down. Mickey’s never been one for soul-searching conversation. Ian’s fairly sure that if he asked him anything, Mickey would punch him in the dick. He’s certain that if he even thought about opening his mouth, Mickey’s got fucking premonitory powers and eyes on the side of his head, and that he would punch him in the dick as a preventative measure.
So Ian watches Mickey, instead. They’re driving through places Ian’s never seen, that he thinks he will never see again. He forgets that Chicago is so blue and the rest of the country isn’t. Chicago is all winter, even in the summer: gray pavement, gray buildings, gray, stifling heat. He didn’t know the sky could be so big, that half the country could be just flat land, wheat stretching out for miles and miles.

Summary
Mikhailo Aleksandr Milkovich is next in line for the throne, and he needs to make sure it stays that way. He has big plans for what he wants to do, what he wants to change when his father finally drops dead. Until then he just has to endure.
His only respite comes in the form of a guard named Ian Gallagher, who is the embodiment of everything Mickey has ever wanted but never allowed himself to have.
Living under the thumb of a king who would sentence them to death if he ever caught them together, Mickey can only yearn, and bide his time.
