“You know, making a list, checking it twice.” )
*cough* sorry. Back on track. I had to get that out. Ah, Ethan, you're as insensitive as the writers are, but hey, this was so brilliant I can't even say. I burst out laughing every three lines or so!
The bantering here was perfect. Each of the five of them was just so perfect, I wanted to clap hands or something. And Ethan has got a nice sense of humor I must say, apart from that.
“Why would you think I wrote that?”
“Um…cause you like Jack?”
Okay, if Lenina squees for the Sawyer/Kate can I squee at this? Yes? It's not like he denied it after ;)
LOL at Shannon's hips. I was totally cracking up at her reaction!
“Who the hell are Nikki and Paulo?” Sawyer and Shannon ask at the same time.
“Probably fertile but they shouldn’t procreate,”
And there I cracked up for three minutes or so. Sawyer and Shannon saying that sentences at the same time is just too good for words and fertile but shouldn't procreate? *cracks up again* Now I can get behind Ethan. And sure, Sayid is on the bad side because he has too much brains. I'm behind Sawyer at that. Also, Sawyer proposing to Shannon to be her breeding mate? Now those two would make very pretty children! ;) and seriously, I love how perceptive Ethan's remarks could be (even if I guess he was wrong half of the time) while sounding completely plausible from his POV.
“Even the dog made the list,” Boone remarks to no one in particular.
Aaaaaaaaaawwww, now that one is actually something that could be so canon that I want to squish him even more than usual. Perfect touch I have to say. Also, the stars next to Claire? God, Ethan, you have such a sense of humor.
“Hey, it doesn’t mean anything. If the jerk who wrote that doesn’t see how good you are, then I must be fat.”
Thanks for making me love Shannon all over again. That last bit was so incredibly touching and tender, I actually teared up and not for the laughing. This was such a great read, I loved it!

Thanks to you, Boone's crush on Jack is totally part of my personal canon now and must be reveled in. I totally agree with Ethan - Nikki and Paulo shouldn't procreate. Of course Ethan would know Sayid couldn't be brainwashed into Other's society, though his whole future partnership with Ben makes that ironic. I'm glad you liked the ending! I originally had them just be bitchy at each other and that didn't work. It seems I made the right choice.
