Ethan:
a) Oh. My. God. I so, so, so cracked up at this one. That's just the kind of non-celebration those three would have had. Everything is perfect, from the Belinda boar (is it the Outlaws one? If yes, seems like she improved her taste in men very soon!) to Tom's and Richard's remarks. IDK why but the idea of that trio having a drink together amuses me to no end.
b) Can I have Hurley at my own funeral? ;) Seriously, that was so spot on. It was so like Hurley to give an eulogy to anyone. It was just as awkward as it should have been. And..
“He didn’t deserve a bloody rock elegy!”
LOL! Well, go Hurley for liking good music ;) Charlie's attitude was great and also the ending was chilly and upsetting enough to balance everything neatly. Great job on these!

They are an odd threesome, I agree, but I thought R, J & T would all have worked closely with Ethan and been tempted to defy Ben's orders to honour him. (It's in my own canon that Ben blamed Ethan for his own death partly because he did seem to disobey order and partly because it was perfect teaching opportunity to show what happens when you disobey.)
I think Hurley is available for funerals, weddings and birthday parties and will come prepared with the appropriate classic rock lyric to mark the occasion.
I’m happy you liked them. I'm still uncomfortable with the drabble format so it's nice to know they worked okay.

The Charlie/Hurley scene had an lovely awkward boyish feel to it; two people who are out of their element and not used to dealing with these harsh serious situations. And this... we could have left you where you were, as a warning to whoever else might be out there. I know you’re fond of warnings, it would have been fitting was very in character. One of the things that's always given me faith in Charlie is despite his darker deeds he does have a strong sense of morality and humanity. He doesn't judge others without judging himself too ( ... )

In this case he is sure what he did is right but he acknowledges this does not mean it was a good thing. Yep, I think Charlie is similar to Sayid in this sense (hence their talk in Outlaws). Sayid is another character who does bad things but still has a strong moral conscience. I think in this case Charlie felt protecting Claire/her unborn child was right and if killing Ethan protected them, okay then.
Cool! It's years since I read that book. I remember reading it very fast. Plus it's set in Devon where I lived for 3 years. Oh, I've posted the fanon fic btw. Wound up would've been a good title! Must sleep now...

There is no way the Others can white wash what they did to Claire, Walt, Sawyer and all the anonymous castaways they killed. Plus there's all the bad stuff they do to their own people. Every time Ben says, "We're the good guys" I just want to laugh. And as vulnerable as Juliet is, she needs to take to blame for her participation too. I fear the writers will try to re-write history to make Ben seem less evil and make them seem like they were protecting themselves and the Losties this whole time.
