This fic was written as a Yuletide Pinch Hit for recipient jennifer/pandorablu as part of the 2008 Yuletide challenge.

The request was for a gen case modeled after the show. Amusingly I'd basically just written almost that exact same prompt for my main Yuletide fic, so the challenge was in making them different! /likes a challenge/

I managed it by making this more of a mythology episode - Fiona is the client vs a third party. In the pilot, when Michael first wakes up in Miami, Fiona tells him "I needed to get out of New York anyway - old associates sniffing around." I figured then the perfect Fi case was to have said old associates be gunning for her.

FWIW, in my head I cast Kristoffer Polaha as Daniel. You probably don't recognize the name, but check out his IMDB page and you'll probably recognize a few things he's been in that you know. I think of him mostly as the fireman Will who kind of seduced Brennan in Bones during The Headless Witch in the Woods. Although I saw him first in his second role ever, on Angel, and then later on

This was just lovely! The voices were *spot* on. It's one of the reasons why I've always shied away from Burn Notice fic -- could never get the voices right, no where near as well as you've done them. Good job! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, hon! That means a lot to me.

(Just a little side note, that image in your icon - Michael at the wall - is what inspired my end of fic and chapter markers for this fandom. The chapter markers -| are like him looking around the wall and the end of fic symbol -|- represents another spy looking from the other side. Weird, but it works in my head based on that distinctive visual.)

BTW, good news! I've seen LEVERAGE finally!

I plan on hunting down your fic in that fandom and pondering adding my own to that new show. Hehehe

Great story!

Thank you!

And hey, here's yet another fandom with brothers! Michael and Nate!

(Now I kind of want Fiona to have a brother. That could be cool!)
