My Top 7 Michael/Sara moments
I love their FACES after she lies and says she's his wife. They both slowly realize what she said and their GRINS especially Michael's! Like "I wouldn't mind that. Not at all."
#6 - Don't Make Me Lie To You
Michael gets his freakin TOES cut off and still holds his shit together enough to not want to lie to Sara. Oh man, this guy!
Their reunion in Season 4! Let's face it we all wanted a hell of a lot more than we got but I did enjoy the snuggling we did get! They were so sweet and needed to be so close to each other. All through season four we kept seeing them drifting towards each other, needing the reassurance that the other is there and as safe as possible at the moment, I love that they got to that level in their relationship where they were comfortable with just needing to be around the other.
Speaking of reunions! Season 2 Sara walks straight off that train and into his arms, no hesitation, no second guessing, so sure and so relieved and Michael holds her so tight and close and it all looks so cozy and fills me all up with happy feels! :)
"I love that he gives her the rose and doesn't stick around to see her reaction, he gives her the privacy to enjoy the gesutre when she wouldn't have felt she could have accepted it if he'd stayed. I love that he LISTENED and understood her need for soemthing permanent that wouldn't fade after a short whilebecause he GETS that. Going from foster home to foster home, all he had was his brother and he wasn't going to let the one real thing in his life go. I can see why creating buildings would appeal to him because what's more real and permanent that bricks right?
I'm pretty sure this episode was when I completely fell for them. He rescues her in the riot even though Linc's in danger. He rescues her and she isn't just waitng around like some damsel but fighting as hard as she can and she doesn't just immediately trust him because hello! there's a RIOT going on and he's an inmate so it's clear she's kept her head. I love their whole awkward conversation in the ceiling, but most especially my breath always catches when he helps her down out of the hole, the trust is right there, it's built in the last thirty minutes in that musty old crawl space and the intensity of the FEELS that are going down fill up my chest as they lock gazes afterward.
#1 - It won't always be like this.
His VOICE as he says this is what kills me. That intense, raspy way he has as if the conversation could only be for her ears only, and he means it from the bottom of his soul! "It won't always be like this" he says and as much as he's saying it for her, he's saying it for himself because you can tell at this point he's just so tired and scared and wants so badly for it to be over. His hands are so tender as he strokes the hair off her face and he wants this so badly, he wants her to believe him so badly! GAH! And her FACE! She puts her forehead to his and just drinks in what he's saying and she wants it so badly herself and she's so close to accepting! Gahhh!! ALL the feels Scofield! ALL of them!!!
(See below for youtube mix with all the songs)
1. Beautiful Disaster - Kelly Clarkson
An exquisite extreme I know
He’s as damned as he seems
And more heaven than a heart could hold
And if I try to save him
My whole world could cave in
2. Savin Me - Nickelback
Prison gates won't open up for me
On these hands and knees I'm crawlin' Oh, I reach for you
Well I'm terrified of these four walls
These iron bars can't hold my soul in
All I need is you
(I always see the rescue from Riots, Drills and the Devil when I hear this opening verse)
3. Run - Snow Patrol
I'll sing it one last time for you, then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right in all I've done
And I can barely look at you but every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere Away from here
4. Broken - Lifehouse
I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain, there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on
I'm barely holdin' on to you
5. Runaway - Linkin Park
Graffiti decorations under the sky of dust
A constant wave of tension on top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me I learned were never true
Now I find myself in question they point the finger at me again
Guilty by association you point the finger at me again
I wanna run away never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers no more lies
6. Stood Up - A Fine Frenzy
Steel and concrete break beneath the steady waves of fearless hope and grace
In kindness there is strength.
Cos' we are not frightened anymore, we stood up, we stood up
And there are two of us there will be many more, they'll show up, yeah they'll show up
7. Come Away With Me - Norah Jones
Come away where they can't tempt us
With their lies
And I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won't you try to come?
Click to viewSeven random facts about Sara Tancredi
1. Sara loves fuzzy socks, they make her feel cozy.
2. Her favourite book as a child was "A Little Princess" because the girl was named Sara and she lost her mother too. She wished she had a father like Captain Crewe.
3. She loves Sheryl Crow. One time when she was high she got up on a bar and belted out "All I wanna do is have some fun", her few fellow patrons - it was 3am on a Tuesday night - surprisingly joined in.
4. She hated ER when it was on the air because they never got Chicago right.
5. When she was eleven she was suspended for giving another girl a black eye in a fight. She apologized but never felt sorry for it. Jenny Russell had drawn a very rude doodle of Sara's then best friend Amy Devlin and she deserved that punch.
6. She's glad Michael can cook because she's terrible at it.
7. She was worried that when things settled down Michael would be bored or she would get bored or they would realize that all their feelings had been because of the situation but she can sincerely say that hasn't happened though she can't say things have settled down very much with the wedding and Michael's illness and then the baby all in quick succession but day by day the crises are getting fewer and farther between and she and Michael are stronger than ever.
Seven random facts about Michael Scofield
1. His favourite toy growing up was legos
2. Sara accused him of getting off on the adrenaline rush while they were all on the run and maybe it was a little true in those first few days after getting out of prison with Linc and knowing his brother would be safe. Nothing could have been further from the truth when The Company started showing up, or in Sona or when he thought she was dead or after Sona, all Michael wanted then and now is to keep his family safe and happy.
3. His favourite tv show was The Pretender, he always thought he was smart enough to be a Pretender. Unfortunately his life has started resembling Jarod's way too much.
4. Michael doesn't really like beer, he drinks it mostly because it's expected and he only started to be like Lincoln.
5. He's a terrible singer, but he loves hearing Sara sing especially when she thinks she's alone.
6. He loves the beach, feeling the sand between his toes but he only feels comfortable very early in the mornings now when there's no one there to stare at his feet.
7. Sometimes he doesn't feel like he deserves to be as happy as he is with Sara and MJ after all he's done.
