*hugs back* It's funny, but the happy ending is one of the things I like most about this. I like Michael's odd combination of self-sufficiency and the personal needs that he tries so hard to ignore. I like the solid, emotional presence of Alex, the way that being the strong protector doesn't stop him from caring, from feeling things right down to his bones. And I like the way that there is such potential for these two to answer each other's needs -- and in this story, I got to see it play out to a happy conclusion.

Even more so cause I never saw Prison Break and you make me care for them anyway - hard not to love William F, but even so - and really really want them to have a happy ending

Extremely hard not to love WF, even when he's not playing a good guy. When he is -- or at least when he's playing someone whose flaws I can forgive because his virtues are worth it -- then he's a shoe-in.
