I was really expecting this fic to end sadly. I really thought Michael in the cell with those guys was the end.
Though the idea of having Michael survive Lincoln is horribly sad, I didn't want that to be the final direction (hence the title-- the feeling that Michael can find something like he once had again, can find some sort of hope).

Although it would have been realistic for Michael to just give up, it's also realistic that he wouldn't because he does 'owe' that to Linc.
Yes-- "Final Hours," which is my other story along these lines (but totally different feeling) goes with that other possibility. For this one, I took the harder tactic of him struggling through the aftermath and then deciding that the worst thing he could have done was to let Lincoln's tragedy destroy him too. Lincoln would never have forgiven him for that, and deep down Michael has to know it. Guilt forces him to do what Lincoln would want and not what he would want. And boy, is he ever a sucker for guilt!

There are so many great lines in this fic.
Thank you so much! I hope that in the end you were glad you read it. I'm sure glad you did. :)

I don't recall reading Final Hours. I have to put that on my "Must Read" list.
