[i_vanquish_evil]

Michael - 20 things

1. He absolutely, more than anything he's ever known, loves Stephen/Carl/Raziel. The man is his life and he doesn't know what he would do if he lost him yet again.
2. He remembers everything now - all of it; every last piece of life from the beginning to the present - and it's a heavier burden than he would wish on anyone. It's a heavy burden on his soul and he doesn't know what to do with it.
3. However, he's never been happier. Recent 'badness' aside, he's still happy (which will be more evident once he's done being pissed off).
4. He has his wings, but he still has scars beneath them and they still, on ocassion, pain him, but he never mentions it.
5. He loves his hat. The hat - you know the one. Only 2 people other than himself have ever had it atop their heads - Anna, b/c it was raining and Stephen, b/c he's Stephen. No one else ever gets to wear The hat.
6. He still has the tattoo of the open wings on his back.
7. He still has no idea why he cut his hair, but he's so very glad it's grown back out.
8. Azazel is still very important to him - for a long list of reasons.
9. He has no regrets about his life or his past, save one - never saying those three little words to Carl that mean so much. It doesn't matter to him that Carl knew how he felt, he never said it and, to this day, wishes that he had.
10. He doesn't regret the attack on Nick or the fight with Stephen in Toronto, 2005, because both events were catalysts to where he is today. He knows he said terrible things and he knows that Stephen knows he didn't mean them, but without that fight, he would still be working for the Order... or dead.
11. He houses a great deal of anger for the Knights of the Holy Order and feels that they have lost their 'mission'. He doesn't agree with all of what they did, but they stood behind their mission until Cardinal Jinette passed. After that, it was never the same and he doesn't know why he stayed on working for them.
12. The Tojo blades are still his favorite weapons.
13. He misses Venice, but he can't risk going back there for a while.
14. He wants Dresden to stay away from Stephen. Period. He knows Stephen cares for Dresden, but he gets really annoyed when Dresden plays it up, especially since he knows Dresden does it to piss him off. He's not jealous, just annoyed.
15. He misses Nick a lot - the talks, the friendship, everything.
16. He has several artistic talents, none of which he displays often, but when they present, they're generally impressive - songs, sculpture, etc.
17. He still houses bits of the werewolf - small bits, but they are there - it shortens his temper.
18. He doesn't like to shave.
19. He has over 200 scars on his body - Stephen can count them if he'd like.
20. He still won't kiss just anyone - Stephen and Nick are pretty much it. He doesn't even have any real desire to kiss David anymore, but that's more for personal reasons than his previous issues.
