Damn, girl! ;)

Okay, first off, I believe it's you who owe *me* happy Skate. *cough* Mickey Mouse ringing any bells? ;)

Kidding...

And in a more literal, less symbolic reading, this has the perfect ammount of ambiguity regarding her death, what happened to her (we are only told once, barely, that she's under the ground, but we don't have direct references and that makes this so so so amazing in my opinion).
Oh, I'm so glad you said this. I was actually going to ask you about this but forgot when I sent you the last bit...Part of me worried that it was *too* ambiguous. I considered having direct references, but didn't want it to be *too* obvious (plus, I didn't want to have to go into detail as to what exactly happened - not the point of this fic).

I can't tell you how sad it makes me, and happy at the same time, because Sawyer's love is all in those four lines. Perfect.I've been watching and re-watching all my Kate/Sawyer clips for this, and one thing that's struck me that I didn't particularly notice the first time I saw the

Haha, I didn't mean to scare you! No, the plot bunny is merely me wanting to write the flashbacks from this fic from Kate's POV. That's all! I'm not sure, though - because I might then actually have to write her dying, and I'm not sure I can do that in detail and not overdramatize it or, on the other extreme, make it too callous.

Yeah, I saw your post about spoilers, but as you know, I'm spoiler free...But argh, your post so made me want to read spoilers! I'll be strong...I must be...

Aw, you're too sweet, really. I'll let you know if I do decide to write the Kate POV :)

Maybe I'll write it but not write up to the point where she dies...Does that work? ;)

Ack. I kind of got the impression they were major spoilers from your post. And I REALLY want to know your reaction to them - but DON'T tell me. I've caved on spoilers before (for ER) and it's just ruined the experience for me, completely. I am, however, COMPLETELY impatient for s4 to begin!

I'm thinking I'll do that. Because yeah, I did kill her in Elegy, but damn, I don't think I could write it out. I love her just too much for that. The two weeks, and maybe before them, so we see how she escaped, ending with her leaving Sawyer's house...Hey, I don't have time for this! ;)

I was thinking about kind of making it into a series...I actually didn't even set out writing That Was Real to be such a companion piece to Elegy, but it kind of turned out that way. Several people have made note of that to me.

I do appreciate that - because it's SO hard for me to not just ask you to tell me everything! Hah.

Woooo, I'm so excited to read chapter 5! And honey, believe me, 50,000 words will be absolutely FINE by me! And yeah, I know, we just can't help it...

I'm actually kind of looking forward to writing Kate's POV in the flashbacks, so I'm sure it'll happen eventually!
