Michael was the only thing he didn't screw up…

A perfect end note. Enjoyed reading this, thank you :)

Oh, I'm glad you liked it! I think that would have been the most piercing thought of all when Lincoln saw Michael in Fox River that first time-- disbelief, followed by just an enormous sense of failure.

I remember the first time I learned that the money for Mike's education have actually come from Linc, and basically that was the reason which got the second involved in the entire affair. Oh my. I could see then how much Linc wanted Mike to succeed, to be everything he couldn't, or didn't have the occasion to be. Basically, he'd spend all his life protecting and looking after his younger brother :)

Awwwww, very sad, but sweet and touching. I love fics about Michael and Lincoln as being brothers. Great job!

[halfshellvenus]

Thank you! I love the brotherly fics too, but haven't written as many as I used to. S2 really made that hard, with Lincoln tending to seem indifferent to Michael at times. Plus, very little further delving into their past (and I'd hoped for some more background on their growing up).

Ah, but when you read it before it was sooper-sekrit with no author attached. Though pamala says it was obvious already. ;)

I like the title so much I thought, "Wait-- save it for a bigger story!" But then I thought, "No-- it's perfect for what this one is about." :)
