Brief summary: One of the, if not *the* first, Michael/Lincoln fics ever written (long before the episode of the same name) and the first in a long line of post 1x07 Riots, Drills and The Devil hug smut pieces. Especially noteworthy, in my mind, for Michael's fascinating thoughts on the brother's past relationship.

Our relationship was too complex for that. Linc was too many things for me. Brother, father, provider, neglecter, friend, dealer. I guess it seems amazing that I didn't turn out like him. He never hid himself from me, never deliberately lied. He wasn't exactly forthcoming either, but I was always a curious kid. I've seen him going down on some girl, seen him strung out on his bed, depending on the nights I'd peek into his room. No, Linc didn't lie to me. But he stressed that I could do better, be better than him--that I was worth more. So I got an education while he fucked-up his life and his relationships. But never with me. He was never a fuck-up with me.
