for the wip list ask game!!! hmmm how could i have guessed you would ask about this fic LOL

buddy, we got major blues 🤠 (alt title: take my hand and let it go)

i have had this fic plotted out for. Multiple years now and i just keep writing and rewriting the first bit. the premise is that mike, fearing that he might become addicted to the opiates he was prescribed for getting shot, tries to go off them cold turkey while he's on a stakeout and it goes BADLY!!!!!!!!!

anyways briggs has to come rescue him while he's shivering pathetic throwing up and takes him back to the house. i'm less clear on the end part but ik charlie will be there <3 and i know i had briggs scheming something in there but i need to work it back out.

and um yeah. have a (long!) snippet of the NEW new intro paragraphs:

Shivering was symptomatic of a lot of things. It wasn't anxiety — this was hardly a high-stakes assignment, waiting in a parking lot in South LA and waiting for some gang-affiliated dealers to make a handoff so they'd have reason to arrest them, hoping to amp up the pressure on the Sarkissians*. Mike had jumped at the opportunity, though, anything to get back on the figurative horse and stop wallowing in the abject misery that had come with being shot, asphyxiated, killed, and spending the ensuing weeks in an opiate-induced haze. He figured his grandfather would've told him the same; kick the drugs, muscle through the pain, and get back to regular functioning as soon as possible.

Summary:

It had to look real, this op. This band that wasn’t a band. They couldn’t blow their covers- they’d had to record an actual album for release, and Mike thought it was a damn good one.

The process had almost killed him, but the album was coming together.

“You mean like Robocop?” “...No. Not like Robocop.”

By day, he ruthlessly defends the disenfranchised from the rich and powerful in a court of law. By...other parts of the day, he takes care of babies before his batteries run out. He has a super computer for a brain, inside the body of a conventionally attractive white guy.
