[DC Timeline question]

[inathunderstorm]

I'm writing a pre-series Mike/Ray Prager backstory fic, and I've worked out a timeline for how things went down--things being those events referenced in both seasons as having happened Back in the Day (TM

Re: Lyssie

It is kind of silly of her to still be all HEARTS IN HER EYES over Mike six months later, but - well, it also depends what Glen says to her, right? If he just walks up to her and is all "Mike's in town, going to be at this party" then her being all giggly and lovesick six months later is ridiculous. But if he takes his time and does it right, he can probably use his words to get her excited: "Mike called, said he's going to be in town and he really wants to see you. He can't believe what a jerk he was, he really wants to make it up to you, etc etc etc." She's 17 and totally head over heels for him, the right words will make her make stupid choices, I think.

I can *definitely* work with that, yeah. Maybe she is a little, "I'll give that Mike Sweeney a piece of my mind," and *that's* why she goes--given Mike's type, I don't think that one is a stretch LOL.

ty bb! <333333

Yeah, but the thing is - Lyssie isn't Mike's type. He doesn't really like her that much*, it's just really common knowledge that he is her type, and he uses that to his advantage when he wants "revenge".

* I think Mike does like her, as a friend/little sister kind of thing, but he has no interest in dating her/sleeping with her/etc.

YOU BRING UP GOOD POINTS. And she *is* seventeen.

And I think Mike has no interest in her, too, because he's still in love with Claire. USING GIRLS FOR REVENGE IS SUCKY, MIKE >:(
