Claim: Prison Break - Michael/Lincoln
Title: Empty Spaces
Author: alazysod
Characters: Michael Scofield, Lincoln Burrows, Sara Tancredi, LJ Burrows, Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell
Prompt: 14. Loss
Rating: PG13
Length: Medium
Brief summary: Lincoln died and Michael is stumbling, trying to find a source of comfort. It wasn't supposed to happen like this. This fic features a multitude of pairings, all excellently characterized, but in the end it's all about the crushing effect that this loss has on Michael. I love the certain painful randomness that strikes me as a major theme of this fic, paralleling the senselessness of Lincoln's death in the beginning.

Michael takes another drag and doesn't say anything when T-Bag's fingers ghost over the nape of his neck. Fingers are anonymous. He doesn't have to put a face to the calloused fingers that stroke the knob of his spine, or the stale breath against his cheek. Goin' to make you feel better, Pretty.

T-Bag is directly behind him now, hand darting over Michael's shoulder to take a drag of the cigarette. He smells like cheap cologne and weed, and Michael thinks it's déjà vu all over again.

Okay.
