Because he would hate being that indebted to me, and he’d probably do something stupid like dropping out of college to get a job to try and pay me back.

This story is a great set up for the journey of the brothers and a great way of connecting the dots like why Linc and Vee grew apart, the loan, not holding on to his jobs, his problems with the payments which ultimately lead to his downfall and how Michael ended up in Foxriver.

“I don’t know how two people who know each other so well can misunderstand each other so often.”Together with Vee's line in The Pilot about the brother having the most dysfunctional relationship, this truly sumps the brothers up, IMO

Thank you so much. I love writing about these boys, and it's so interesting, having written about them in the present day so much, so go back and try to plot their earlier journey.

I am thankful that Lucy stayed in the background because frankly I don't have to know about her, thank you very much. LOL

LOL. Dork.

Oh man, I just feel so sorry for Lincoln.

Seeing things like you putted them just seems to justify perfectly why Michael would be driven to sacrifice everything the way he did for his brother. Lincoln actually sacrificed his own chance of being someone in life so that his brother would have the opportunity he didn't had.

I'm just amazed how you managed to put in three chapters the whole *essence* of these brothers' story.

You do know you rock, right? *grins* anyway, this was a great perspective of how things were before all hell broke loose.

*blushes*

Thank you very much!

These two took turns at giving up everything for each other, and they did it because they thought it was the right thing to do. When you love someone that much, you do whatever it takes to make things right for them.

Awww, you can really feel for Linc here, and what money can do to someones life. In Michael's education and Lincs constant worry, always having to look over his shoulder.
I think you did really well with Linc here, and also Veronica and the way she interacts with him.

Thanks, uh -” his gaze drops to her pocket, searching for a nametag, but she’s not wearing one and he realizes too late it looks as though he’s staring at her breasts. “Uh, thanks,” he finishes awkwardly, and she gives him a smiling nod.

I love this, it's hilarious and it's... Linc.
Poor guy, these are some moments that would have been great in canon as 'tidbits' (having him lose a job but because he had good intentions for his family/close friends) but of course, no time for that.
Well done. I like your vagueness in how far Michael got with Lucy. lol

[msgenevieve]

Well, you know my sekrit love of writing Lincoln. Not sure how many times I've chosen his POV over anyone else's to tell a story, but he's a great character to try to get inside. *g*

Well done. I like your vagueness in how far Michael got with Lucy. lol

Michael's a gentleman. He doesn't shag and tell. *g*

[scribblecat]

No, he puts on his Sex Panther and hopes. 60% of the time it works, every time.

Rawr.

*claps after a dazed moment of silence*

You killed me again with that last paragraph. And you wrote the characters so well, you made me miss Veronica so much that my heart is aching. I love the intimation that Michael might have gotten lucky, because he picked out a smart Engineering gal. *g*

When I got to the end it drove home the point for me that their love story is just too ill-fated, and I found myself feeling that canon supports this pre-series story instead of the other way around. Great job, msgenevieve. Can't wait what Candy has to say. *is excited*

[msgenevieve]

Oh, thank you! I was quite melancholy when I finished, because there's only one way for Lincoln and Veronica's love story to end. *sighs* I'm so glad you liked it!

“Nice perfume you’re wearing.”

There’s a pointed silence from the other bed, then Michael yawns loudly, his hands linked behind his head as he stares at the ceiling. “Thanks, I like it.”
This is just hilariously perfect. I love it.

As for the rest of the angst fest--there's just nothing to do about that sick feeling of dread these two create in your stomach. They were always doomed, and so no matter what kind of happiness they have for whatever short period of time, the ultimate sadness always hangs over everything about them.

“Feels much longer,” he manages to say, then the rhythm of his hunger for her takes over, pounding through his blood, narrowing the world down to this bed and the feel over her beneath him. Her hands are cool on his hot skin, but the rest of her is warm, flushed with heat against him, her flesh tight and slick around his, and he feels as though his body might dissolve from the sheer pleasure of it

[msgenevieve]

I told you it would finished before your next birthday. *grins*

I am very relieved to see you enjoyed this final chapter. It was never going to end happily, but I think you already knew that, yes? That said, I loved writing it for you, despite the angst. :)

I have already started the RPF, btw. *hugs you*
