A/N: VINDICATION FOR MY BOY. Phew, if you'd told me a year ago that I would be referring to Michael as "my boy" or that I would even care about him at all, I would have asked what you were on and was it a fun time. But Michael and Adam's relationship (plus Jake Abel's stellar performance in both roles) got me passionately on board with them RIGHT QUICK. Then, "Inherit the Earth" aired, and I was left screaming about how they done my boy dirty. So, here you have it. FIXED.

Michael and Adam ended up acting awfully romantically for something that I was intending could be read as a ship or as just a really close relationship. But I'm stubbornly tagging it as both, because I love relationships that defy categorization. Perhaps to them, it is paradoxically both, or they feel they're so close that it doesn't matter what they call it. Or maybe it's simply romantic or simply not. Choose your own adventure, kids.

The title for this story was taken from the song "The Face of God" by H.I.M.
