I imagine that V2 shuts down before Michael finally dies himself.
Here's kind of what I'm imagining:
Michael and V2 are sitting together in the middle of a lush forest. sunlight falling through the leaves gently.
V2 is resting his head on Michael's shoulder and then Michael notice that V2 starts leaning on him a bit more then usually. So Micheal nudges V2 and V2 doesn't respond. Michael connects two and two and realizes what has happened. So Micheal sighs and leans bit more towards V2 before closing his own eyes for one last time.
Raphael is the one to find them peacefully sitting in the sunlight, Michaels flowers haveing encompassed them both with the most brilliant flowers Micheal has ever had. Flowers so beautiful they rival that of Edens. But instead of immediately breaking down at this realization Raph just accepts the situation, sitting down himself so he can have a moment to process this himself before he goes to tell Gabriel Uriel and v1. Michael is no longer suffering. And Michael has become the beautiful garden he's always wanted to be.
THE WAY IM BREAKING DOWN UUUWWAHSGGHHH....to think of them getting this far, both of them likely barely able to function at that point. they move slowly when they can and spend so much of their time still in nature, in a world so many call collapsed but filled with plenty for them, a private space that seems to span infinitely. they speak so quietly now, long stretches between them where they both forget who they are, forget what they are to each other and what their lives have been, locked in silence as their minds fail. everything is deteriorating, the static is growing louder and louder, and a haze is fuzzing all their memories, yet meaning ebbs back in every now and then. they know they will go soon, go to wherever a computer and an angel can go when they die. they are threadbare in body and mind, only the love remaining as v2 finally flickers out beside michael. and he remembers, for just a moment, his days as a psychopomp. maybe if he goes right now too, if god or nature or his own body sees fit, he can meet v2 before it's too far gone from him. wait, just a moment for him. and his soul, what's left of a light that's been dying for years, burns out at that final, lucid thought. he's happy he could have it.
and i HUGELY hugely agree with raphael's reaction here - while raphael is by far the most sensitive of the bunch, the grief of michael has run its course, he knew this day would come and they had all found their peace in it. i think raphael would see the glorious flowers blooming from them and know they are somewhere, no longer suffering in their bodies but beyond to a place he doesn't know. maybe they're just in those flowers (there's so many reds and purples), in the forest around it, but they are somewhere, at least to him. he remembers speaking with michael so often in his heavenly garden, and how he once expressed his body feels as though it should be in the ground feeding these plants, like every part of him knows it is dead and it longs to go home. and so he is happy, even if he will cry eventually, right now he is happy. michael is home, and v2 is with him wherever that is. he won't disturb this place either, no caring for it or trying to preserve it - michael spoke often on how he was a part of something so much bigger than himself now, and raphael respects his place in nature. this is the end they both came to, on their own with no one else to guide them, and to try to change anything about it now would be to intrude on their final moments.

Benjamin Sisko is an amazing man, but it's still hilarious that so many people to fixate on him as their personal rival.
Dukat, Eddington, and Solok are the most notable three. And all three all wind up completely changing their personalities to revolve around one-upping Sisko and he winds up beating them anyway.
After Dukat destroys his career, he re-fashions himself into what is essentially the Emissary of the Pah-Wraiths. He's always been fixated on Sisko to some degree, but the final season takes it up to eleven.
Eddington becomes fed up with his career and projects his frustrations on to Sisko, re-imagining their relationship to be one where he's the noble criminal and Sisko the evil, relentless enforcer. But reality was never going to conform to his imaginings.
Solok, the Vulcan who was so obsessed with one-upping Sisko that he also developed an obsession with baseball. He drags his crew into it. He taunts Ben with it, makes things personal in a way the other two can't. In part because Solok is so incredibly petty. The other two are so grandiose in their methods, but Solok takes the petty route every time.

I try really hard not to be all "I could fix him" about Michael Langdon but honestly in this case, it's true - love would have fixed him! And that's the tragedy.💔

Hi!
So, more angst.
What would happen if Michael were to suddenly die?, maybe it was an accident, or just a straight up mystery.
How would the rest of siblings and v2 grieve?
Honestly i can see this scenario being a VERY vivid nightmare Raphael had once, that or it's a common ocurrence for him.
it's definitely something that's there for all of them, the fear that michael will just rapidly decline or be killed with how much he's working a body he no longer knows the limits of. and that anxiety is kept strong because the scares actually do keep happening, with michael suffering bouts of illness due to his overworking or seemingly for no reason at all - the latter are far more frightening, his unexplainable lapses into severe symptoms always carrying with them the fear that this is his body finally shutting down, unable to cope. so their grief teeters, hanging on every rattling breath and the foul ichor that leaks from his mouth, waiting to see if it will be needed, knowing it will be needed but just when. so his death would never exactly come as a surprise, but there is a unique bereavement that comes after watching someone be so ill for so long
gabriel, being the only fallen angel in the bunch, is very open about cursing god for this outcome, that everything he forced onto michael is what ultimately made this happen. his grief is consuming as an angel of treachery, and he is furious that after all of michael's dedication and loyalty to the point of his own detriment, it only earned him this end. this is what the extreme end of a love for god does, this is what happens when one cleaves to him and has no other anchor. he would apologize to michael, telling him how sorry he is that he wasn't there to save him when he was so far from home and taken in by his own desperation for a god who left them. he's sorry. he didn't deserve to rot like this, to end his life in pain and fear and crushing grief and hatred of the self. gabriel should have been there for him, he should have found him when he never came back because he knew only he could regulate michael's unchecked adherence to his faith. but he didn't. he stayed behind while michael tore apart his own body and soul for a god who can no longer hear him, and now he's dead because of it.
raphael wants peace for michael, weeping endlessly for him but just hoping that wherever he is, there is no suffering. that's supposed to be heaven, that's supposed to be what they were born into, but michael never found it. and truthfully, in a way, raphael is glad he finally passed, as ugly and awful as it sounds in his own mind - he watched him suffer through death, day after day, even when he wasn't actively ill or bedridden. his body was consumed by death, he watched as michael rotted away and he saw how he spent so much time in prayer, his endless recitation of psalms of contrition and sickness, his constant readings of job to seek any comfort apart from his decaying body. he implored god over and over and over, to save him and restore him, until he was so exhausted he had no choice but to sit with himself. and raphael tried to heal him, he watched michael attempting to adhere back flesh as it sloughed off, and he knew his anguish was becoming unbearable. so he's finally gone from it. even if there is no life for an angel after death, raphael almost doesn't care. just let michael be at peace, even if it means he's become nothing.
uriel had become especially close with mike in his last days, as they both greatly enjoyed silence in each other's company. in fact, uriel had sought michael out as a source of comfort, still viewing him very much as a protective big brother that kept his anxiety at bay because that had always been michael's job. and that trust meant more than michael could express, so happy he could continue to give uriel that same sense of security despite his appearance now and he greatly appreciated his company every time he sat with him in the garden. so for uriel, that comfort goes with michael. he can't leave his body, doesn't want to walk away and know that he won't see him again, so he stays beside him almost stubbornly. he cries sporadically, but often just sits by his side in silence until they have to forcefully take him away so michael can be buried in the garden he so loved. the garden they spent all that time in together. and uriel follows him out there, now just keeping by his grave. he talks to him more than he probably does anyone else for awhile, occasionally asking him for a sign that he's still listening...but it never really comes.
v2, like gabriel, reacts outwardly with a lot of anger though its reasons differ - how could michael come and love it right at the end of his life, and how could it let him? the grief is so different for v2, only ever knowing him sick with all his venerated images presenting an abstract it never met. it knew its attachment was foolish, it knew it should have shoved him off when things started to get too personal, but it was in awe of what he had gone through and survived, finding a beauty in him and a rare connection it failed to make with so many others. it wanted to save him, it told him it would, and michael began to say that he believed it. god had answered his prayers. but he was wrong, he died thinking v2 could do anything for him. and so that anger is at first misdirected at michael, demanding to know why he gave up, why he fought so hard and had promised v2 that he would live as long as it was willing to find a cure. he quit on it and left it behind even though v2 had told him over and over each time he got sick that he scared the shit out of it. didn't that mean anything to him? didn't he care? but soon it all collapses inward, v2 apologizing for letting him down, for blaming him for his own death when it saw how hard he fought with his own body every day. he had even told it how much this body wanted to die. but v2 is stuck with how it failed him like it had failed humanity. it can only really cope by fully cultivating the samples it took from him, all his plants and fungi and insects, into the same little ecosystem he once had. it keeps michael alive in some way to it, with the garden and all its generations started from those that had once lived with him. it also keeps the icon he gave it to call on him if it ever needed his help, but it hasn't spoken to it since - he never failed to come when it asked, and it doesn't ever want him to.
