millie’s long list of malex fics | Moving Forward by laniew1
The Major doesn't have him committed, just goes through the hard drive and the box that Alex brought and gets paler as the evidence of what Alex has found comes into focus.
"There's more facilities then just the Caulfield one," Alex says. It’s a truth that he didn’t share with Michael or Kyle.
The Major makes some phone calls and Alex gets to make a choice: if he wants to be involved, if he wants to directly or even indirectly be the one to destroy this horrible legacy...
Alex signs the papers.
Alex gets to work on dismantling his father’s legacy. He has help because Caulfield was only the beginning.
comment: i love!! this fic!! so much!! it’s post episode 13 and it’s canon compliant, following alex as he decides what to do after being “stood up” at the junkyard. the answer is: he gets started on dealing with the bullshit that his father’s left behind. that includes reupping his enlistment and going back to active duty. he slowly involves others in his work (jenna, kyle) and he starts to track down the other facilities, freeing some other aliens. which is where it’s gets buckwild and veers into my favourite territory: antarian lore. the author introduces general rath as michael’s father (instead of as michael himself, or someone that michael’s cloned from) and it’s fantastic. there’s some stuff about bonds and political antarian intrigue, the building of the relationship between rath and the pod squad, and then there’s also that good, good malex content (pining and wanting and eventual talking). it’s such an interesting collection of ideas and plotlines, and still completely canon compliant. if you haven’t had a look at this one, you should. i really think you’ll like it.
have a fic you’d like to see on the list? let me know!
