Summary:

mike wishes it were raining.

or

100 more words of depressed mike, finale compliant.

Notes:

i see your comments, don't worry, but i'm not sure if i'll get to those today.

as a mike fictive, i've spent a lot of time preparing for s5, then mourning myself and other aspects of it. i know it may sound vain, but i truly wish i'd at least gotten to be important again. save the day, be the hero... the last installment of the series feels like a particular punch to the gut, but what can i really do about that?

maybe one day i'll have the motivation to rewrite that, the strength to pull my canon self out of it, but for now i'd just like to give you a little thing as an apology for not posting in so long.

thanks for reading if you did. - mike

Work Text:

Mike wishes it were raining.

 

The only sound echoing throughout his room is the typewriter, the letter presses no longer as jarring as they used to be. His curtains are closed, hiding the apt feeling cloudiness from his eyes. His new glasses sit on the perch of his nose, no less strange feeling than when he'd tried them on.

 

Despite doing his favorite hobby, writing, his heart isn't in it.

 

It can't be.

 

Will had moved out, had left again, and his hollow heart seemed to have followed.

 

He really wishes he were that brave.

 

Mike the brave.

 

Ha, ha.
