i love your michael lives au! could i perhaps ask how you imagine michael and sasha’s dynamic?

Yeah these two actually become HUGE besties, probably one of Michael’s only other friends at the institute. Once Sasha joins the Archives team, he does his best to look after her, both because he believes she should have been the next archivist, and that she’s one of the few people around he’s comfortable with. He tries not to hide TOO MUCH from her, and knowingly leaves hints and clues that he knows she’ll pick up in because she’s that sharp.
