Author's notes: This would not be possible without [livejournal.com profile] jeyhawk or [livejournal.com profile] mooyoo's help. Especially the ending. And? As usual this is all [livejournal.com profile] thelana's fault: she suggested the bunny to begin with.



Lincoln has to kiss it and make it better.

"I'm so sorry."

"You didn't do anything."

"Exactly."

"Lincoln…"

"I'll make it up to you."

~~~~

Lincoln's hands ran over his brother's biceps, the thumb on his right hand ghosting over the thrice-stitched patch on the inside of Michael's arm. It was his fault and he knew it, Sucre had told him how Michael had cut open his own flesh and dug out the pill that saved him.

Lincoln's lips descended on his younger brother's arm and he laid a chaste kiss on the stitching, carefully and lightly as if he were afraid the wound would open again and that it would be yet another bit of pain he inflicted on his brother's life. Michael shivered slightly and Lincoln murmured an apology into his flesh before kissing it once more and moving on.

His lips dragged over the skin slowly as he made his way towards the outside shoulder in a trail of small kisses and tangled words. The path ended when Lincoln placed an open-mouthed kiss above the demon's head, an approximation of where the insulin was injected. Lincoln was overcome with a wave of nausea as he let his brain think about the possible damage Michael may have done to himself while pretending to be sick.

As if he knew what his brother was thinking Michael's right hand, knuckles torn and still bleeding slightly, moved to cradle Lincoln's skull. Lincoln moved his free hand to grip his brother's and he squeezed his eyes shut letting out a shuddered breath.

"Lincoln." It wasn't a question, but it wasn't a statement either.

"I…" Lincoln trailed off and let out another sigh. "Never again Michael, I swear it. Never." Michael's only response was a smile that almost reached his eyes. Lincoln's attention shifted back to his ritual.

Lincoln's next stop was the angel wings that came across Michael's left side, specifically the three long feathers that laid perfectly over three long scars. He never asks how he got them or where they came from or why they are so perfectly identical and evenly spaced. One of the times he was arrested he was sent to Fox River and did a little more than a year before he was paroled. The day he was released Michael was there with some heavy-set native girl and from the way he was standing Lincoln knew something was wrong.

Lincoln's mouth traced the scars like they did all those years ago; three on the left side above the kidneys, three on the right side above the kidneys and five on each hip over the scars that may or may not have been puncture marks. Michael's breath caught in the back of his throat and his stomach tensed, muscles jumping and quaking. Lincoln left one last lingering kiss on the most brutal scar before continuing on his journey.

The harsh smell of rubbing alcohol still lingered in his mind as he approached the makeshift bandage on Michael's thigh. In his mind's eye there was no bloodied shirt held in place with duct tape; he could still see the mangled patch of flesh Michael got when he missed a step and slid down one of the steep drops in the tunnel on their way out of the prison. His hand squeezed his brother's thigh and he nuzzled the skin above the frayed tape, dropping alternating kisses here and there around the bruised flesh.

His hand dragged slowly down the underside of Michael's leg, tracing along the rises and dips, following down the calf muscle and over the ankle before coming to a rest wrapped around his foot. He lightly stroked the bandage covering the top of the foot where Michael's toes used to be before Abruzzi and his thugs viciously took two of them away. Sometimes it's all he can do not to break the man's skull open for what he caused. As he kissed the bandage Lincoln thought about how oddly appropriate it was that Abruzzi chose the toes instead of the fingers for once, Michael's toes have had a death-wish since he broke his big toe the first time when he was three. Since then they've been stepped on, stomped on, run over, broken, crushed, and on one occasion split open bad enough to require surgery to fix them. Really it was only a matter of time.

Lincoln started his climb back up Michael's body dropping the odd kiss here and there.

A soft kiss to the spot on The Tattoo where the angel's wings sprout from his back.

Another kiss where the demon gripped the angel's wing.

Another at the spot where the demon's other hand grips its sword.

Next he mouthed along Michael's collarbone leaving a path of open, wet kisses in his wake. Lincoln ventured across the base of his brother's throat and up his neck, smiling as Michael spread his legs wider to let him settle more comfortably. Lincoln shifted his weight and guided Michael so that they would both be more comfortable; Lincoln's weight on one bent forearm with the other behind Michael's neck, supporting his head, hand clenched near the shoulder. Michael's right arm found it's way around Lincoln's neck and his left settled for staying outstretched at his side after several unsuccessful attempts at resting it comfortably anywhere else.

Lincoln nibbled along Michael's jaw towards his ear, leaving behind small saliva-wet welts. The muscles in Michael's hurt arm started to jump and Lincoln quickly rearranged his limbs pulling the arm that was under his brother's neck back to use as support for the rest of his body.

He kissed Michael's forehead above his left eyebrow; directly on the thin light scar there. His eyes saw the marred flesh even and his brain told him there was no permanent damage done; all Michael really got was a small cut that didn't even need a single stitch.

Haywire. That whole piece of shit thing was his fault too; he should have known better than to let Michael pull that stupid test. If he had just trusted Sucre, or trusted Michael's character judgment, then Haywire never would've been moved into Michael's cell and he never would've attacked Michael.

"Lincoln."

"I'm so--"

"You didn't do anything and you didn't not do anything," Michael declared as he sat up and pushed Lincoln back onto the ground. "Stop feeling so sorry for yourself all the time." Michael laid down and nudged his head underneath Lincoln's chin, inhaling deeply.

"I'm not feeling sorry for myself," Lincoln denied as he wrapped an arm around his brother. "It's all my fault. If I didn't fuck you up so badly--"

"Contrary to what you may think the whole world does not, in fact, revolve around you." Lincoln let out a huff of laughter and squirmed as Michael's leg hitched over his hips and his fingers glided down his side.

"Didn't you get an upper-body tattoo, rob a bank, get thrown in prison and ruin your entire life just to get me out?"

"Don't flatter yourself; it was Monday, I was bored." Lincoln cracked his neck as he felt a thumb dig into his collarbone. After twenty years Lincoln had gotten used to all of Michael's random idiosyncrasies and possessive touches but the obsession with his collarbone never got old.

"Michael… I…" Lincoln stuttered out. He had never been very good with words, Michael always said there was an "interrupted signal" in his brain that made his words mismatch with his thoughts. Lincoln always said Michael thought to much.

"Two sixty-four. Those keys got thrown away a long time ago, you don't have to make anything up to me."

A genuine smile came across Lincoln's face.

"I know I don't have to, but it's fun."

Not why I'm doing this, but cool. So, all but the last 2 in the Gen part, you said?

[identity profile] clex_monkie89.livejournal.com 2006-02-13 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, all but the last two in Gen really. And really, anything you want is yours and if you don't want an icon or graphic of your own you can give it to someone else or something; I want you to know how much I appreciate this, it's... so much of a timesaver.

[identity profile] veradeath.livejournal.com 2006-02-13 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
So, which of the Gen peices did you like? *is not helping...headdesk*

[identity profile] clex_monkie89.livejournal.com 2006-02-13 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
All of them, that's the problem! I've gotta come up with some kind of a grading system for the fics or something, because I think that's the only way I'm gonna end up being able to cut any out.

I know for sure I have to rec [livejournal.com profile] callmetofu's Overwhelmed because it's so... vivid and real and I think it was one of the first fics I read that dealt with LLI's possible effects, in fact I think she may have been one of the first ones to do the whole "overwhelming senses" thing.

[identity profile] veradeath.livejournal.com 2006-02-13 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I've come up with this post to store the Gen recs:
http://veradeath.livejournal.com/14783.html

There are dif. kinds of Gen, ya know? The fluffy, happy, read for a rainy/sad/whatever day.

Then there's the thought provoking, makes you 'Woa. Thats a nifty idea/way of looking at that peson/idea/whatever. The kind that shape fanon. (think Chess, or Overwhelmed)

There are other Gen types, I just can't think of them.

[identity profile] clex_monkie89.livejournal.com 2006-02-13 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Oh dude, you rock so much! *Loves*

And yes, there are so many different kinds of Gen. Everything from happy to fluffy to angsty to sad to comfort to... everything really.

And yes, any fic that helps shape fanon like Chess and Overwhelmed has their own little place in everything because really, bad fics don't have that much of an impact in that many people.

[identity profile] veradeath.livejournal.com 2006-02-13 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
*loves back* *gives choclate*

So, fics that help shape fanon? Post-beta coherency? Fics that go beyond fic and are litereture(See all of Maygra's fic for Supernatural)?

And for non-Gen, relationships that are raw and erotic and compelling. Or sweet. But this bit is for a later time.

*Munches chocolate* Yee!

So, fics that help shape fanon? Post-beta coherency? Fics that go beyond fic and are litereture(See all of Maygra's fic for Supernatural)?

Yes, yes and yes. When a fic ceases to be just another story and goes so completely beyond it that it just... Damn I suck at words tonight. Fuck.

And Fandom Favorites too, you know the kind I mean, the ones where you just mention it or the author and sixteen people jump up and start reminiscing about the fic and all the things they loved about it.

And for non-Gen, relationships that are raw and erotic and compelling. Or sweet. But this bit is for a later time.

Yes, I have this huge kink for flaws. I love scars and fights and things where everybody isn't in this happy little Other!World where everything is peachy and happy; I love it when the couple is fighting or get into an arguement or when two people miscommunicate, anything where you get to see any sort of emotion does it for me.

And damn, this fandom needs a lot of happy fluffy fic because really? There's a lot of good pain here but inly the occasional... mellowish moment. I mean, I'm not saying have everything be okay at the last minute but... Mooyoo's basketball fic stands out to me; Linc and Michael in prison seperated by the gate and just having this brotherly moment of Michael teasing Linc and Linc bonucing the ball off the fence to scare Michael. That goes in the post to come to think of it.

This would be so much easier if everyone had Fic-links like Halfshell does...

Like mooyoo, halfshell, and alazysod?

I cringe at perfect, 50's era type perfection, where the only problems are that Timmy sekkritly bought a pair of skates. It's not realistic, and I adore realism.

So, I know what ya mean.

Will update the list.

[identity profile] clex_monkie89.livejournal.com 2006-02-13 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Like mooyoo, halfshell, and alazysod?

Pretty much yeah.

I have this huge thing for realism, it's why I put in that little part about the muscles in Michael's arm making Lincoln have to rearrange himself, hurt bodyparts protest a lot.

Also? Woo! *More hugs*

[identity profile] veradeath.livejournal.com 2006-02-13 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
*glee*

And I thank you for such details.

Have updated. The list has a grand total of 2.

[identity profile] clex_monkie89.livejournal.com 2006-02-13 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
I am very happy to deal out those little details, it makes me happy to realize other people notice them.

Yay! Updates!

[identity profile] veradeath.livejournal.com 2006-02-13 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
*more glee*

So, any other stories you want me to add?

[identity profile] clex_monkie89.livejournal.com 2006-02-13 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Uhm... I dunno. That's my problem: I can't make up my mind!

[identity profile] veradeath.livejournal.com 2006-02-13 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
*pets* *hugs* *gives more chocolate*

[identity profile] clex_monkie89.livejournal.com 2006-02-13 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
*Hugs back and munches on chocolate*

Also? You've given me an idea. Now I have to go and poke my FList real quick...
