In a conventional sense I suppose Lincoln and Michael are bad with him, but in the sense of their canon characterizations this sort of threesome~relationship is really the only one that makes sense (to me) and wouldn't leave Sucre guilt-ridden and tortured. Sucre loves Maricruz...period. I see Sucre stepping out of the bromance zone if--and only if--he has emotional and intellectual rationalizations and safety zones in place.

Again, following the (arguably) logical paths of where their canon characterizations would take them, I agree that Sara wouldn't warrant the same treatment. The playing field changes completely when the threesome participant loves either Michael or Lincoln, rather than loving an outsider.

I suppose I "ship" Michael and Sara, in the sense that I love the two of them together and truly love every moment of screen time they share in season one. I'll admit to not reading much fanfiction revolving around them, only because I personally (and this is a quirk of mine, I'm the first to admit it) have a hard time seeing them having a sex life that's in any way interesting. I see them having a reverent, almost chaste, "making love" sort of thing going. I'm most certainly not trying to convince you...just maybe bore you to death with my long comment ^^;

Sucre loves Maricruz...period.
I agree.

You don't need to convince me about Michael/Sara: I share the same opinion. Maybe not "not interesting" but this: almost chaste, "making love"? Very much.

I have very few NC-17 stories for them (and one actually got this rating because it's also Michael/Lincoln). Even those aren't the same kind of NC-17 than the stuff I write for other pairings. It's difficult for me to go there with them. A recent one is titled Shades of Vanilla. I'm not trying to sell it to you, just saying: in the title of a Michael/Sara fic, I used the word "vanilla" ^__^ I'm only starting to get a bit more explicit with them outside of the M/S/L stuff, leaning on two details: Sara saying to Michael in S1 that she wasn't a "good girl", and Michael looking quite happily at her cleavage in I don't remember which episode of S4. Meager.

Not bored to death at all, still very much alive ;-) It's nice to talk about the show.

I completely see what you're saying about the "not a good girl" reference, and even without that, their physical relationship was so offscreen that you could really go a million different places without being OOC.

My Michael-Sara fic issue probably just comes down to my own personal experience lens. I see Michael, Lincoln, and Sucre as having significant others that they're striving to attain and to be "worthy of" (in their own, highly critical perceptions). Then, as an undercurrent to those idealized goal-relationships they have all of these hidden, secret desires and appetites. It's in those undercurrents that the "I shouldn't do this...can't believe I'm doing this...oh God I can't stop doing this" types of erotic conflicts come from. For me, anyway. I do love the threesomes you write where it's so erotically uncomfortable figuring out who's going to start it all, who's okay with it, who's going to touch who where, and--really--is it all okay with everybody? Somehow, those situations work best for me as far as showing Sara's complex mixture of strength, fragility, innocence, experience, mistrust while struggling to trust, etc. With the threesome that comparatively static lovey-dove, "I trust and love you!" vibe gets shaken up, and all those delicious conflicts come back into play.

In my opinion :D
