Prison Break Fic Exchange Version 2.0

Another successful round ends for the Prison Break Fic Exchange. Thanks to all you lovely participants— I hope you had fun, and are proud of your results this round.

Here, finally, are the authors and their stories (  Drumroll please... )


How'd you do on the guessing? We had some extra challenge this time, with writers who ordinarily do Gen or Het doing some Slash, and some Slash/Gen writers doing Het, and others writing outside their OTPs. Lots of really good results came from mixing that up too, I must say!

Thanks so much to domfangirl for writing the terrific backup story for this round! Speedy AND with quality— that's a hard combination to pull off.

As always I would welcome co-moderators with this project. I really hadn't expected to do any more rounds of this myself, though I was persuaded into this last round by several lovely people. Just drop me a note in the comments or via email if you think you could help out— the bulk of the work comes at the end, and it gets tiring to do it all yourself. You don't have to be a writer to help, either— we have several members who are here for the stories alone, which always fills me with glee. :)

Thanks everyone!

Bumping up! Reveal today or tomorrow? Has everyone read all they're going to and made their guesses?

All stories for Round Six are now posted! Be sure to read the one written for you and give the author some love.

I hope you'll find many to enjoy this round. This is the most slash-heavy round we've had, largely due to the swerve canon took in early Season 3 (which put many of our regular Michael/Sara authors out of the mood for writing stories when it was time to sign up). I expect we'll see an entirely different mix next round.

For your guessing pleasure, the authors for this round are listed below. One of them wrote two of the stories, which always makes the guessing just that much harder. ;)

( The Authors: )

All right, everyone. Who wrote what? Take your best guess! And despite the current guesses, I did not write everything myself!

Title: Asunder
Rating: PG-13
Category: Gen
Characters: Lincoln
Requested by: domfangirl
Prompts: Lincoln-centric, Guilt/Remorse over Sara's death; an ambiguous ending; and the line 'This is a sick, fucking joke, right?'
Author's Notes: I'm sorry that one of your requests didn't make it into the fic.


( He knows he has lost Michael the moment he sees her lifeless face. )



Bonus Fic
Title: The Three Graces
Rating: PG-13
Category: Het

Author's Notes: These are three drabbles. If any of them is to your liking, tell me and I promise to turn it into a PWP.


( This is a sick, fucking joke, right? )

Title: Within Her Hands, My Heart Lingers
Rating: PG-13
Category: Angst. Romance.
Characters/Pairing: Michael, Michael/Sara, Lincoln
Requested by: wrldpossibility
Summary: A recap of the events preceding, during and following Episode 1.19 - The Key, from Michael’s POV.
Warnings: Spoilers for 1.19; going slightly AU during the Infirmary scene.
A/N: For wrldpossibility, with my compliments and humble bows in front of her work and assiduous activity within this fandom. I regret that I couldn’t make a better thing out of your request; I’m in debt for that, and I hope to be able to make it up to you, one day.

Title: Password to Redemption
Rating: PG
Category: Mostly Gen, some Het
Characters: Michael, Sara, Kellerman
Requested by: rosie_spleen
Summary: rosie_spleen gave many prompts, but this is the one I came closest to: jealousy between Michael/Sara/Kellerman.
Author's Notes: Dialogue in various places lifted from The Message, Chicago, Bad Blood, and Sona. It was great fun to revisit all of this, so even though it’s mostly *canon* I hope you get some enjoyment from reading it!

Title: Wedge
Rating: PG-13

Title: Resistance
Rating: PG-13
Categories: Slash, Het, Angst
Pairing/Characters: Lincoln/LJ, Lincoln/Sofia
Requested by: miss_mandy
Summary: Blueberry pancakes taste plain in comparison.
Author's Notes: Not as gorgeously smutty as I would have liked, and I probably failed miserably on the PTSD level, but here's to you miss_mandy - hope you like it!


( Resistance )

Title: Grace
Rating: PG
Category: Gen (Angst, Post-escape, slightly AU)
Characters: LJ Burrows, mentioned: Lisa Rix, Jane Phillips, Sara Tancredi, Lincoln Burrows, Aldo Burrows, Michael Scofield, Paul Kellerman, Susan B.
Requested by: liayso
Summary: LJ’s thoughts about his survival.
Author's Notes: liayso wanted either a Sara/Bruce gen fic (an explanation of their relationship since Bruce seemed to be a father figure to her), a fic about LJ and Sara’s time in captivity together by the hands of The Company (from LJ’s POV and his thoughts on Sara and The Company), or maybe a fic about Jane and what happened to her when LJ was taken (from Jane’s POV and her thoughts on Aldo, Lincoln and LJ). I choose the second and third choices but didn’t follow the prompts exactly. I hope it works for you. Also, this fic assumes the conversation between Linc and LJ in 3x9 didn’t happen. Spoilers up to 3x4. Thanks to my beta.

Title: Lark-Mirror
Rating: PG-13
Category: Femslash, Dark
Characters: Susan B. (Gretchen)/Sofia
Requested by: interpretthis
Summary: When Gretchen finds Sofia in Whistler's apartment, she can't help but be reminded of her past.
Author's Notes: interpretthis requested fire, classic literature, and a line that I included. In terms of the classic lit, I went for a few subtle, and other not so subtle references to classic-classic and modern-classic (20th century) literature. I won't outline them here, but would be glad to point them out or discuss them in comments if someone's curious.

Characters: Michael and Lincoln
Requested by: callmetofu
Summary: He’s casting stones not only at his brother, but at what amounts to his own reflected image.
Author's Notes: This is a gen Michael and Lincoln fic set post-series, written for the following prompts: sand, a grasshopper, and marriage or wedding rings, and the quotation I open with below.
