   Summary

   “My dad said that an alien seduced Tripp into trusting her, so that she could exact revenge. He once said that you were doing the same thing to me. But he was wrong. I know that you loved me.” Alex Manes, Episode 2x09

    

    

    

    

    

    

   In a universe where Michael Sanders grows up on his dad’s warnings about what happened when Harlan and Tripp Manes stormed the Long Farm in 1948, it’s a no-brainer for Michael to keep his friends close and the son of his greatest enemy closer. Trouble is, Michael can never seem to keep Alex Manes close enough . . .

   In any universe.

    

   A (sort of) AU in which Jesse and Alex are both right about Michael’s intentions toward the youngest Manes Man.
