Title: Man Plans, God Laughs
Disclaimer: I do not own Chaos.
A/N:
lena7142 started a whump alphabet and one of the options under z was zippered. This is what my brain came up with. Thanks to
postfallen for the beta.
Summary: Michael can’t plan on miracles.
(
Afghanistan wasn’t Michael’s favorite country, and he’d made that determination years ago when he went on his first CIA mission and seen his local guide get blown to shreds by a roadside bomb. )

This. This is why we're friends.
(Well, okay, not the ONLY reason, but a big one. ;D)
Loved, loved, LOVED this. As per usual. You never disappoint. And as always, you nailed the characterizations spot on.

(I have to admit, I liked writing this one a lot.)
Thanks!

But that didn’t change anything. It didn’t change the fact that the mission was a waste, that everything had fallen apart. It didn’t change the fact that Michael had been wrong and he’d been right.
And it didn’t change the fact that Billy was dead.

I honestly don't remember adding zippered to the whump alphabet or what it might have meant at the time, but I'm so glad it got put down on there because this is the best possible interpretation! All the moments where your heart jumps into your mouth during this fic- moments of fear, or horror, of grief, of relief, of joy... you really run the emotional gamut with this, and do it with the boys being fantastic as always. Wonderful!

And yeah -- the image of Billy in the bag, assumed dead was pretty much why I wrote this fic :)
Thanks!
