Why this must be read:
There was a point in The Academy Is... history where the bassist, Adam T. Siska AKA Sisky, hurt his finger and had to have surgery on it. He ended up recovering, but this fic explores the 'what if he didn't recover'.

The band ends up going their seperate ways and Mike ends up in one of Michael Guy's many bands.

This fic is a wonderful read, it explores a threesome relationship and finding your way.

Sisky's hand never gets better. Oh, sure, he can write now, although his handwriting's not exactly the cursive beauty it was before, and he can do everything he could before, like untie knots or fasten zippers, but he still can't play the bass properly. He tries to adapt, and it's so frustrating watching him get frustrated at himself when he's trying to play with his middle and ring fingers.

He practically throws the bass down at one practice and storms out. William stops singing, voice strangled, and they all look at each other. Finally Butcher sighs, stands up and follows him, dropping his drumsticks to the floor as he does so.

Mike knows then and there that this is how their band ends; this is how they split up.
