Bill/Michelle (or even Michelle/Tony, really) isn't my thing, but I thought this was a really good depiction of how it came to be between them. And you got everything right about the different relationship dynamics involved. Bill's acceptance of Michelle's loyalties, his lack of jealousy but desire for her to be safe, Tony's tentative embrace, Michelle being a bit scared that what she feels is right might not be as right as her heart tells her. Very cool.

Thanks for posting.

This is why it's good for me to get out of my comfort zone. Bill/Michelle/Tony is SO not my thing, so I procrastinated forever on this prompt. I have to say I surprised myself with what I came up with.

Thanks for reading.

I love your picture!

The whole Bill/Michelle thing always freaked me out a little, probably on several levels. But I like the backstory you've created because it makes absolute sense. Everybody stays in character, especially Bill, who just waugh. He always IS the good guy, isn't he? Up until his very last canon moment. *sniffs* This was a tough prompt. Nice job!

Well, I thought Bill was a little OOC at the start of Day 7, when he seemed very cavalier about "sacrificing" Jack. Whatever. The idea that he was married before he got together with Karen is total wank, he just seems like a guy with a lot of life experience.

I know we hold Bill up on a pedestal. But we do know that Bill did have some sort of relationship with a married woman. As far as I could glean, Michelle was in Seattle while Tony was in prison.

Oh Michelle. If I had a choice between Tony and Bill, there would be absolutely no contest.

Thanks for betaing. I have two more prompts, but the 24nmore site is all kablooe.

Thanks. I've had trouble with posting to 24_fanfic so I'm keeping this in my journal for now.
