Summary
It had been building for days.
Not one thing. Never one thing. That was the part nobody understood, it wasn’t a switch, wasn’t a single moment that flipped everything sideways. It was accumulation. Slow and quiet and relentless, like water soaking into cracks.
It was the way LJ had gone quiet at dinner two nights ago. It was Sucre, who had a life. Who had Maricruz.
Michael had caused that.
It was all Michael's fault.
------------------------------------------------
Micheal has a meltdown. The first he's had in years according to Lincoln. Just another Tuesday according to Michael. Just another side effect of emotionally constipated men (and maybe some autism) according to Sara. And Sucre... Sucre just wants to help.Series

Summary
This is a watching the show type situation except it's strickly the events leading up to The Break.
-----
One moment there was nothing. Then, a room, a couch.
Sara was the first to speak. “Where are we?”
Nobody answered because nobody knew. A large empty room, walls that seemed to continue forever, a single small couch in the middle of it, and across from that a television. Large. Old. The kind that sat in living rooms in the eighties and nineties.
The four of them stood and looked at each other.
“Okay,” Sucre said slowly. “Is anyone else-”
The television blinked to life. It took a second, making that static like noise as the screen rolled from black and white pixels to an image. The way on old VHS tape flickers to life. Static… a blurry image… then clarity.
___
All angst no breaks. How'd Michael get to be so emotionally constipated? Set sometime after The Break where the others see Michael's meltdowns. Linc sucks in the past but he's all good in the present.Series

Summary
The information isn't shared in a way Michael would've approved of- which is to say that Michael would've prefered the information was never revealed- but if he wanted the information out there he would've prefered in a better situtation.
He hopes they drop it... But he knows they won't.
-------------
A kink in his perfect plan leads to an unfortunate revelation at an unfortunate time.But regardless, he'll be fine.
After all, he's always fine.
