Hi, community. Google has failed me, as has the wayback machine. I don't suppose there's still a copy of Emily's Swallowed Hole lurking around the interwebs somewhere? I cannot watch Blood Brothers without reading it. It's a ritual.
A couple recs for your trouble:
Sins of The FatherBy Ally
Independence Day, from the perspectives of Hank and Michael.
FighterBy Shelbecat
Post-Independence Day (are you sensing a theme?) Michael visits the trailer for a final time.
Many A Man Would FallBy Mnemosyne
A post-Departure Maria/Kyle friendship fic with a cameo by Michael. I think this possibly the only Kyle fic I've ever read, even when they were more easily accessible.
