March for Meta Season 3
March Meta Day 3 Season 3: Sometimes Alex gets the words right
Season 3 time!  Another season where Alex had his ups and downs when it comes to communicating with Michael.  There were definitely some moments where he said the wrong thing or shut Michael out at the wrong time, but again I am here to celebrate the times he did say the right thing.
3x03 drive in is a wild ride of a conversation.  Michael is not in a good place - resigned to his death and thinking he deserves it because of his father.  Alex has just come off a conversation about his own father and is again trying to figure what to do with his life and not knowing how to make a choice for himself.  It’s honestly a miracle they came out of this intact.
Alex:  “In Maria’s vision, I say I’m covering up a murder, right?”
Michael: “Yeah.”
Alex: “It’s not you.”
Michael: “You can’t know that.”
Alex: “Yes, I can.  If it were you, I would not cover it up.  I would burn the entire world down first.”
First off, credit for a dramatic exit and leaving Michael to think about what he said.  This is obviously an iconic line, and it’s important for many reasons.  In context with what I’ve been focusing on, how at times Alex is able to address one of Michael’s fears - that he doesn’t matter, that he is the one left behind - it is perfect.  Alex doesn’t say he wouldn’t cover up a murder, he says he wouldn’t cover up Michael’s murder.  Michael is the exception here, the person Alex knows regardless of circumstance he wouldn’t stand for his death.  Not only would he not cover it up, he would seek vengeance.  It’s not a love confession, but it is a confession of the value Alex places on Michael’s life.  Alex makes it clear that to him Michael isn’t disposable, that there is nothing that would convince to let Michael’s death go unpunished.
I can’t talk about Season 3 without 3x08.  
Alex:  “Guerin, you are the one piece . . . that I cannot go through life without.”
Have I sufficiently recovered from that moment - no.  I think back to Season 1 Alex saying he’s tired of not saying what he wants to and in this moment I think he really is able to say what he wants.  I think it’s important to remember that Alex and Michael are not together at this point, this was not a romantic declaration by Alex.  Instead it is a plea for Michael’s safety, for him to follow the plan so there are no unforeseen complications that could put him at risk.  Most importantly, he lets Michael know that his importance in Alex’s life is unique to him, Michael is not replaceable or forgettable, his is someone Alex can’t live without.  Michael has never been the most important person in anyone’s life before.  And while it doesn’t erase the pain of their past, Alex is finally able to tell Michael what he means to him,

A continuation of my AU where Michael was adopted by the Evans’ instead of Max. 
Based on RNM 3x08. Title from "Forever Winter" by TSwift. (song association inspired by Alex in this chapter) Max and Alex share their new insights from the night before. Isobel, Liz, Alex and Max gather to formulate a plan to save Michael and Maria. While the girls and Rosa dive into a mindscape, the boys steal back the pod with Michael and confront Jones.
Differences from canon: Since Max and Alex are a couple already, they find comfort in one another after both going through terrifying and stressful ordeals. Liz, Isobel, Alex and Max all figure out their plan at Alex and Max's house. Instead of using Sanders to find a secure place, Max uses his resources as a cop. Isobel recognizes Max's martyr tendency when he decides to go after Jones. Max suggests retrieving the sword in the planning stage and Alex argues like canon in front of the girls. Once they are ready to start their mission, Alex says a version of his speech to Max, although Max already knows about Deep Sky and is wondering if Alex will continue to trust Eduardo. Max responds with a line that canon Max said to Liz in 3x09. Max is used to stakeouts from his job. Max's reaction to Alex's story isn't different from canon Michael's, but that's the point. When they steal the pod, one look from Alex stops Max instead of a squeeze on the hand. Max is less angry and defensive when Jones mentions his mother. Max and Alex's conversation at the Pony is a little different because of what Max knows already and Max's search for answers wasn't as extensive as canon Michael's. Max says a line to Alex that canon Max said to Liz.

I was tagged by @crepuscularqueens thanks!
Favourite Item: an old cracked leather copy of Robert Burns poems, it’s just really pretty (even if most of his poems are dry)
Dream Outfit: idk, leather pants and to steal that jacket Liz wore in RNM 3x08
Relationship Status: single, and delighted to be so, like I barely have time between work, school, and my friends (my bff has us going on small adventures at least once a week so I couldn’t actually fit another human into my life, and maintain my media obsessions, so blorbos before hoes I guess)
Favourite Colour: blue, nearly any shade, but royal is my favorite
Three Favourite Foods: chocolate, tofu, and eggs
Song Stuck In My Head: B*tch by Meredith Brooks (it’s what I get for listening to my Liz playlist on the drive to work)
Most Recent Song: Line Without a Hook by Ricky Montgomery
Last Thing I Googled: Liz’s jacket from 3x08, but before that just the driving distance from Roswell to Seven Rivers
Dream Trip: Wales, it’s beautiful
Anything I Want: as always my wip’s to manifest into reality without me having to write them (or maybe to stop starting new multi chapter fics until I finish the (five?) I have running)
I’m tagging @cygnetofthesea @childofsquidward @motorcycledrive-by @ajna-eye-cogitations and anyone else who might want to do this (and of course anyone tagged doesn’t have to feel obligated<3)

RNM has spent more time pointlessly physically separating Malex in the seasons they've been happy than they ever have when they were constantly being traumatized, and it isn't even trying to write for Alex now that he's no longer being tortured by Jesse. That is... loud. Even if ultimately something good comes out of the kidnapping, it's screentime Malex should spend thriving, and Alex should be able to exist as a valued member in the group and as Michael's boyfriend with friends of his own instead of constantly being stashed away in bunkers and his house and us hoping more than one person will be allowed to be worried about him when people realize he's missing.
I don't know if the actual screentime minutes they share would confirm this, but it FEELS that way, and that's what matters. Also the fact that Alex was tied to the Manes family, Caulfield, had a close friendship with Rosa, worked on a machine engineered by Michael's mom and tampered with by his dad at an organization that had *something* to do with whatever TF was going on in season 2 (that's when DS is first mentioned), and with ALL his skills and knowledge and connections to the group he is STILL being shut out of almost everything and his POV is almost never seen is my villain origin story. Deep Sky and the Lockhart Machine had SO much potential to be fascinating but then they decided DS doesn't even actually know about aliens (but sure it's tooootally safe to do all their alien research there because they know the director), and the Lockhart Machine got ONE (1) good episode focused on Alex but we wasted HALF of 3x08 (I think m*ria got like, 20 minutes of screentime?!) getting info about the machine that Alex already access to and we should have seen HIM getting it!
 The fact that he has AGAIN disappeared and no one has noticed because despite him being worried Michael would feel abandoned AND the fact that him going away lead to him being kidnapped once before but yet he didn’t set up a check in schedule with Michael is absurd. We should have spent the whole last episode with Michael being antsy that he hadn’t heard from Alex and trying to play it cool because he doesn’t want to seem “needy” because that’s actually on brand for him! And we could get him talking to other people about Alex! Though he does get to bring Alex up with Dallas every once in awhile which has been nice. 
And Alex, Alex just isn’t allowed to talk to anyone about Michael, and their relationship ever and that’s IF he even gets to have scenes with other people despite being one of the more interesting characters deeply connected to the major storylines. It’s ridiculous! 
And yeah, even if something good comes out of THIS kidnapping, it’s already been played out, badly, in season 2 so no one has the patience to deal with it a second time, especially with him just disappearing from the narrative because no one can talk about characters who aren’t there (HOW IS MY GIRL ROSA DOING?! WHO KNOWS?! NOT FUCKING US). 
For making Alex and Kyle two of the characters most deeply connected to the main plots they sure have been kept out of a lot, but thank goodness they came up with some dumbass way to include m*ria by suddenly making her an alien in season 2 (after confirming she had NO alien markers in season 1) because they got flack for her being useless. 🙄🙄🙄

Episode 4x13 is called “How's It Going to Be”, after the 1997 song by American rock band Third Eye Blind [video below]. The episode was written by Joel Thompson (co-wrote 3x08, 4x03, and 4x07), and Chris Hollier (wrote several episodes), and was directed by Lance Anderson (directed several RNM episodes).

wip game
hey all I’m not sure if I am still a writer- the rust on these muscles approaches 7 layers... much like a Taco Bell burrito, nothing but crap and regrets!
However- nothing stays the same, the universe moves toward entropy, so I’m keeping the lights on.
WIP Game
rules: post the barebones plot of your wips and let people send you an ask with the title that intrigues them the most and then post a snippet/tell them something about it! then, tag as many people are you have wips.
Adding something here: let me know if you want the plot or a snippet.
I was tagged by
@ravens-words
and
@foramomentonly
- two writers I greatly admire!
listing the most recently worked on WIPs and the ones I do intend to finish, even if it’s 2 years later...
untitled 4x01 one shot
we wouldn’t change this thing even if we could somehow - this is a gift fic - Michael POV
i found you 9 times before, maybe ten (its safe now) - AU after the shed
it’s a love story, just say yes  - AU where Michael is the Heir and he arranges Alex to be his bodyguard on Oasis
all around are familiar faces - if I owned Roswell, 3x08 would have been SO DIFFERENT
a skeleton of something more - My AU rewrite of Season 3 where I make Deep Sky and Alex’s mission more plot connected, plus he’s secretly back with Michael
conversations with ghosts - another gift fic, I am attempting more Michael and Rosa together
kingdom come undone - this is my RNM after dark WIP where Chris comes back and Michael gets double-teamed.
for richer or for poorer- I’m still invested in my big bang follow ups, sorry I’m so slow, but Michael is grieving Alex in a pod, and fixing the house. And 4x01 gave me some feelings about that, lol.
last years wishes one-shots - I’m still into it, I love that story, I honestly think it was someone else who wrote it some days lol - a total out of body experience and I am beyond insane over the fact it just hit the 900 kudo mark.
