Malex Fic  - I just wanted to get back to where you are

Sneaking in with my April fic for @alexguerinappreciation.  I went with the Picspiration from this post.  Most of this fic takes place in Alex’s nightmare so there is canon type violence, references to torture and to the 1x06 shed scene.  This is of course a happy ending.

I just wanted to get back to where you are on AO3

Title from “My Own Soul’s Warning” by The Killers

Summary: When Alex’s work triggers a nightmare, Michael is there to pull him back.

“Hey.”

Alex looks up at the sound of Michael’s voice.  He can’t help but smile when he sees Michael leaning against the wall, wearing nothing but boxers.  His hair is a mess, his smile sleepy and Alex wonders just how late it is.

“You coming to bed soon?”  Michael asks.  “It’s lonely without you.”

“Yeah, just give me a minute,” Alex agrees, unable to resist his husband.  “Just let me put these away first.”  Alex looks down at the files he was working on and panics for a minute.  He hastily closes them and shoves them in his bag, locking it before looking back up.

Alex breathes a sigh of relief when he sees Michael is already gone.  He doesn’t know what he was thinking, bringing these files home where Michael could have seen them.  As far a Project Shephard files go there are fairly tame - no photos or descriptions of torture.  But he still tries to keep that part of his job separate from Michael.

Eduardo had given Alex the files the other day.  They were early records - mostly detailing the efforts made to locate additional aliens in the first years after the crash.  Alex had been looking for any mention of Jones - either a local mentioning him as someone who recently came to town or even the possibility that Jones would have made himself part of the investigation just to see what Project Shephard knew.  But he’d found nothing so far.   He’ll take the files back to his office in the morning and be sure to leave them there. Alex rubs his eyes and frowns, it’s not like him to be so careless.

When Alex makes it to the bedroom, Michael is already asleep.  He gets into bed as quietly as he can. Michael doesn’t stir even when Alex moves closer and wraps his arm around Michael’s waist. He relaxes into the warmth of Michael’s body, and lets the steady sound of his breathing lull him to sleep.

“Manes, Report.”

Alex’s eyes fly open at the barked order.  “Manes reporting, Sir,” he responds automatically as he tries to get his bearings.

His commanding officer stares at him from across the desk, and Alex resists the urge to shift in the uncomfortable chair.  He has no idea what he’s supposed to be reporting on and it feels wrong to be here.  He was somewhere else before, he’s sure of it, but he can’t remember where.

“Report all intel on the enemy combatant,” is the expanded order.

“Sir,” Alex stalls.

A folder is slapped down on the desk, and Alex’s blood runs cold when he sees the picture of Michael.  That can’t be right.  He was just with Michael - wasn’t he?  Alex moves to stand up but falters when he feels both feet against the floor.  His body is wrong.

Malex Fic - Love will get you there

Made with a day to spare!  This is my March fic for @alexguerinappreciation.  I choose the spotlight of Alex’s canon relationships.  I consider this a Malex fic because that is where we end up, but this is both pre canon and post canon so I write about Alex’s family, his relationship with Maria and Forrest on the way to Malex’s happy ending. 

It’s a 5 +1  about 5 times Alex wanted to change his name before the one time he finally does it.  Warnings for canon child abuse.

If you hate Maria or Forrest, please don’t read this.  Also if you really like Jim Valenti, you may not like how I wrote him.

Love will get you there on AO3

Summary: Alex was never much of a Manes man or 5 times Alex thought about changing his name and 1 time he did 

Title is from an Inhaler song.

I am going to put the whole fic behind the cut because it opens with Jesse being abusive.  Nothing graphic but I wanted to give an extra warning.

Truth of My Youth lyrics below

there was a time and place where I never thought I'd leave my own hometown but those days finally are dead and gone it was never my intention to stay there, oh no

there was a conscious effort played by me to disown anything I see there was a girl I knew way back when who says she doesn't know me anymore

these are the lies the things you never mention these are my past mistakes I'll stay away from these are my thoughts written down on paper it's my only savior from not saying what I want to say

these are the thoughts that are on my mind moments that haven't yet been defined and I don't know if you could ever understand these are the things I can't say when we're alone

there were countless hours on the telephone my ears were ringing from the dial tone there were flashing lights, people staring there was nothing I could ever do

these are the lies the things you never mention these are my past mistakes I'll stay away from this is the truth, the only time you'll hear it I'll write it down because it seems so hard to say it

these are my thoughts written down on paper it's my only savior from not saying what I want to say

these are the thoughts that are on my mind moments that haven't yet been defined and I don't know if you could ever understand these are the things I can't say when we're alone
