Summary:
Mickey knew it was a bad idea to start messing around with a boybander, but he was just so pretty. Getting caught meant pretending to date his f*ck buddy. Apparently management thought it was better to be in a gay relationship than to be a gay slut. Now if they can both just get out of this with their hearts still intact.

Or...

That Band AU no one asked for where everyone knows that Ian and Mickey are dating, except for Ian and Mickey.

Review:
The thing about Mickey and Ian is that they are a mills and boon romance about the most unlikeliest characters you will ever see. They love each other but in such vastly different ways its hard to think that how they feel about each other is the same emotion. With Mickey it always feels like Ian stole his prickly shell the day they met and now his greatest defence is useless against the red head. With Ian, a sort of I can't believe I have you possesiveness which strangely always reminds me of strawberry jam.

This fic writes their relationship so that it feels just like the show. It's nice to believe Mickey can have a happy ending, sometimes.
