I liked the emotion. Both brothers still seemed in character. I could imagine them staring out over the city with a glass of fine wine in Michael's hand.

And the last paragraph was enticing and depressing at the same time.

That was probably the first mental picture I got when I started planning the fic, and my second favorite one. Because I'm a total perv I think we can guess my favorite +_+

Thank you so much! I liked the raw emotion between the brothers, the hostility that eventually broke in the end. The idea of Lincoln following Michael all the way home and Michael not saying a word until they got there was both humorous and seemed like who they would have been pre-series.

Your peice sang with honesty that sometimes pretty painful but right on point for their characters. And the ending was heartbreaking. Good job. ;)

I'm so glad you liked it! I kind of ended up torturing myself over what I'd write because I'm not too used to writing the pairing myself, even though when I have apparently it's been brilliant. >> I suspect there was kiss assery going on.

I really wanted to do something good for you though because I've kind of been silently stalking your fics and they're all so amazing that I'd probably die if you hated it.

I didn't want to do something in the new season just because it's pissing me off at nearly every turn and corner, and I knew going back to pre-series would be hard because it's kind of all been done. So I thought I'd give a go at the 'Lincoln isn't such a bad guy' idea. I'm glad it panned out -grins-

I loved the edginess of this. And the slashy overtone that proves good slash doesn't always have to be all about the graphic sex.

I loved that line from Brother's Keeper so it was quite a thrill for me that you would use it here and then have a totally different scenario unfold.

Definitely up to standard and the title was perfect too! Great stuff!
