Author Website: Compendium of Fic
Why this must be read: There are a lot of fics that deal with Michael's youth and his relationship to it. The quality of writing of this one, and the poignancy of its ending, really stand out and stays with you after reading.
Excerpt: Getting out of Miami was easy. It’s always easy to hit the road when the options are what like yours – abusive father, unhappy childhood. Anything’s got to be better. And you’re inured to the bad stuff, so you can handle anything. You’re used to locking yourself and your emotions away, so you make good fodder for the people who want men and women who can be anything, be anyone.
Anybody else has to be better than being you.
