Oh! You're so awesome ( ... )

Haha! Procrastination pays off!

Though I saw your last post, and it was more like, "Being waylaid for days by a migraine has occasional good side-effects."

And you've captured the beginning of that relationship here so perfectly with Sucre's voice - his uncertainty, but also his gut feeling that this (the escape and trusting Michael) is what he should be doing.
Sometimes I feel like "Compadres" is doomed to be my seminal Michael&Sucre fic, because it covers the full ground of their friendship, but telling this story from Sucre's side shows the reality of Sucre's optimism and openness and how he both could not keep from liking Michael any more than he could keep from being the perfect (though unlikely) friend for Michael.

I love that about Mike and Sucre - I think their friendship would be one that was very positive and nurturingI agree-- Sucre would get the benefit of Michael (who rarely trusts anyone) wholly investing himself in a rare and real friendship, and Michael would get the benefit of having a friendship with someone who ( ... )

Lol! Yes, any bad habit can be a good habit when viewed from "a certain point of view." That's my motto and I'm sticking to it!

Haha - if I thought I'd get great personally-written-for-me fic with each migraine, I might stop bithcing about them so much and embrace the head pain. Silver lining, babee, silver lining!

Yes, that's just the idea I got from the show, too, and what made this so in-character for me.

I agree-- Sucre would get the benefit of Michael (who rarely trusts anyone) wholly investing himself in a rare and real friendship, and Michael would get the benefit of having a friendship with someone who has no ulterior motives whatsoever. Absolutely how I saw their dynamic. At least for S1, where ( ... )

Very nice take on the beginings of their friendship. It was one of the aspects of the show I loved so much during the first season, it's delicious to find it here. In addition of them being so different, Michael was quite manipulative even with Sucre back then and yet, their relationship managed to transcend, which you perfectly conveyed.
Thank you for a great ficlet and a little trip in nostalgia :)
