and the rest of the prison break cast
as their respective characters !

A C T S.

ACT I. just-world fallacy
the cognitive bias that assumes people will get what they deserve

🂮

rescue goes head to head with revenge. here lies innocence, packed underneath blood-soaked dirt in the name of freedom.

ACT II. cold flow
the tendency of any material to crumple under continuous stress

🃋

the cuffs are off, all bets are off, and no one's trusted to watch your back. the promises of a new life are so often side-tracked by your old one.

ACT III. hooke's law
theory that an object's strength is proportional to the strain experienced

🂽

broken promises and hearts abound. if love's your only compass needle, one wonders where you'll go when true north disappears.

ACT IV. failure point
the point at which any system or solution stops working

🂡

they know who you are; it's time to show them what you can be. it's time for a family reunion, or a family fallout.

ACT V. unstable attribution
inference that an event only occurred due to transient factors

🂿

this act is undefined due to the aforementioned transient factors. not even the writer knows what's going to happen.

D I S C L A I M E R.

this is my first fic for prison break! at the time of writing, i'm 3/4 of the way through season 4. i'll preface by saying that i've never been to prison, i've never been a fugitive, a cop, a psychologist or a structural engineer, but i do my best to research what i can and be as accurate to the experience as possible (save for typing out actual slurs). and prison break is already a pretty messy show (t-bag alone warrants a TW).

CONTENT WARNING for gore, SA (no direct scenes but referenced), mental illness, racism, sexism, murder, kidnapping, explicit content, nudity, and torture. basically anything you've seen in prison break will be here.

this is a slow-burn michael scofield x oc story. and i do mean slow. i don't want to discredit his character nor simplify josephine to his love interest. moreover, i won't be completely sidelining sara ── i love her character and she deserves literary respect while still providing reasons for her to engage in the plot.

my stories are always very character-driven, and i like to devote focus to my OC and their backstory, and change up the plot based on their existence in it, always in fresh and funky ways to keep you readers guessing. if you aren't interested in that, stop reading here, because i start early and i never stop.

thank you!
