The Short-Term Fix
By Yettaren
Category: CC, Michael POV, mildly AU, Season One
Rating: R (mostly for language, some sexual situations)
Summary: So rereading the early Roswell High books got be thinking: what if the show had taken a different route with Michael? Making him an emancipated minor served the purposes of giving the gang a meeting spot and making Michael’s life less stressful, but we only ever saw him in one foster home. As much as I loved “Independence Day”, it seemed to me like emancipation was a bit of a cop-out. So with that in mind, here’s the tail end of Season One with slightly different circumstances.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Michael, Max, Maria, Isabel, Liz, Alex, Tess, Kyle, Sheriff Valenti, Hank, Amy, Philip, Diane, Jeff, Nancy, or Ed Harding. As for the rest, enjoy.
