Lol! Yes, any bad habit can be a good habit when viewed from "a certain point of view." That's my motto and I'm sticking to it!
"Being waylaid for days by a migraine has occasional good side-effects."
Haha - if I thought I'd get great personally-written-for-me fic with each migraine, I might stop bithcing about them so much and embrace the head pain. Silver lining, babee, silver lining!
telling this story from Sucre's side shows the reality of Sucre's optimism and openness and how he both could not keep from liking Michael any more than he could keep from being the perfect (though unlikely) friend for Michael.
Yes, that's just the idea I got from the show, too, and what made this so in-character for me.
I agree-- Sucre would get the benefit of Michael (who rarely trusts anyone) wholly investing himself in a rare and real friendship, and Michael would get the benefit of having a friendship with someone who has no ulterior motives whatsoever.
Absolutely how I saw their dynamic. At least for S1, where Michael had a character who still felt for others besides Sara.
One of the things I think PB did well in S1 was that they set up Mike and Sucre's relationship in a way that was very subtle, (and imho largely the effect of how WM and Amaury played the characters), but we could totally see how *right* these two were for friendship - how much they needed each other in their lives. And I love stories like this where we get a more in-depth look at what was going on between them because that relationship, whether it stays friendship or becomes slash, is just something very loving to me (to put it in a very schmoopy terms ;P). I adore Michael/Lincoln (slash or gen) too, of course, but it's the dysfunctional aspect of that that draws me, so the Mike/Sucre relationship is a perfect counter to that - more comforting and nurturing.
I'm so glad you enjoyed this, even as Gen
Oh I'm a huge gen fan. And frankly, I don't care if a story is gen, het, or slash so much as I care that the characters are in character, or a believable extension of the characters we see on screen - like here. That to me is the foundation of a great fanfic. (Hawt pr0n is just icing). ;D
