Everyone knew the Gallaghers of the South Side of Chicago weren't to be envied. They all had their issues. The Patriarch was a narcissistic drunk and the six Gallagher children were barely keeping it together. Things weren't perfect but they had each other. Still...what if there was a seventh Gallagher kid. One who was probably the most normal out of all of them. How different would things be? Well, let's fine out.
Meet Theodore Theo/Teddy Gallagher. The most normal Gallagher there is...and that's saying something. Look out South Side. Here comes a Gallagher that actually knows what he's doing.

South Side Sweetheart
Lately, Lip Gallagher's been off his usual game-but not in the self-destructive way they're used to. He's up early. Out late. Sober more often than not. Focused. Secretive. The Gallagher house notices. Of course they do. He's eating breakfast at the table, not passed out on it. He showers. He's reading-for fun. Fiona's suspicious. Carl assumes it's drugs. Ian just says, "He's hiding something." But nobody knows what. Then one morning, as Lip eats toast with a rare smirk on his face, a car horn blares from outside. One short beep. One long. Lip immediately jumps up. "Gotta go," he says, grabbing his bag. Everyone follows him to the front window out of pure South Side nosiness. They watch as he strides down the steps and into a waiting car-but before he gets in, he leans through the open window and kisses someone. A real kiss. Not a hookup. Not drunk regret. Not just heat. Intention. The car pulls away before anyone gets a good look. Silence. Kev whistles. "Okay... who the hell was that?" V grins. "Lip's got a damn girlfriend." Debbie mutters, "And didn't tell any of us?" Carl: "I bet she's weird. Like, yoga weird." Lip never says a word about it. But now the curiosity is full-blown obsession. The Gallaghers aren't great at boundaries, and this? This is now everyone's business. Eventually, they learn her name-Destiny. She's the same age as Lip. A nursing student. Clean. Focused. Private. Smart. Not from the South Side-and definitely not the type of girl who usually gets mixed up with Gallaghers. But she sees something in Lip he's never seen in himself. And that scares him more than anything. When their two worlds start to collide-her calm against his chaos, her past against his present-Lip has to ask himself: is he falling for her because she's everything he's never had, or because he finally believes he deserves her?Complete

On Your Knees, Gallagher
South Side love ain't pretty. It's bruises, busted lips, and stolen moments behind locked doors. Mickey Milkovich swore he'd never let anyone own him, never let anyone see past the armor he built out of fists and fury. Then Ian Gallagher came crashing through - redheaded chaos with a smile that cuts through the dark. But love on the South Side doesn't come easy. Between family ties, secrets, jail time, and the pull of a world that doesn't forgive, Mickey and Ian are forced to fight - for each other, against themselves, and against everyone who wants to tear them apart. This isn't a fairytale. It's survival. It's blood, sweat, and too many cigarettes in the dead of night. And at the end of it all, Mickey's got one rule: Gallagher, you get on your knees for no one but me.Complete
