Michael fic is, by its nature, usually heartbreaking and this is no exception.

Richard built a bridge, father would rejoice; call him the "strongest man alive". But me, I made First Councilor and all I got was a half smile and "good for you, Micheal." This is exactly how it seems to have been, or at least how Michael sees it.

I won't deny my jealousy; it's a part of me. When I thought Richard had killed father, part of me was happy, I'll admit it. There was a voice in the back of my mind saying "see, you see father. Do you see what your precious Richard has done to you?" This is where the first person pov works so well, that we hear Michael admit this terrible thing. Yet he's had reason to be jealous. *pets Michael*

Great fic!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I really do feel bad for Michael, he just really needs a hug :P

Poor Michael. I think my favorite part is the end:

To them, to all of them, I am just the "other" son.
But I am Micheal Cypher. I am the real son.

It's just so heartbreaking. And yet also totally not Richard's fault. I like how you get at Michael's fury and jealousy here.

Great job :D
