Now I realise why the 'Ladies of Lost' prompt is a toughie. Most of those lovely gals are dead now. Very odd, but charming image of all the dead women inside the cabin with a birthing Claire. LMAO at Christian, Charlie and Boone doing the men in the waiting room bit outside. Was Claire giving birth to Aaron a second time or was this a new child? Will Claire and this baby get on a frakking helicopter

[elliotsmelliot]

Yeah, the Ladies of Lost prompt was hard. Even after a concept that would reunite them all, it just sat there for over a week. I discovered Ana is just as uncooperative a character to write as Ben, if not more so. At least Ben likes the attention!

Was Claire giving birth to Aaron a second time or was this a new child?

To me this was Aaron again, which would nicely solve the Desmond vision issue, and take away any weird island/Jacob fertilization theories.

That's an interesting theory about the hatch/purple sky. Maybe to send Ben forward in time, the island had to go back, like when you wind a top.

Thanks for delving into the Ladies of Lost with me.

Thanks! I realized halfway through that the Juliet and Claire stuff would be interesting for you. I'm so happy you glomped onto this one! It made its torturous writing worthwhile.

Wow, this is so twisty and creepy and wonderfully strange. You and your brain! *is in awe* This is such a unique concept and a terrifically cool way to get all the ladies of lost together in the same place. And anyone who takes on the time/space issues of lost gets a trillion gold stars from me, because that stuff just boggles my mind. Thank you so much for this piece, babe! I know you had trouble with it and I so much appreciate you powering through for me, it's such a wonderful gift. *hugs*

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it. I did have trouble with it and still feel I took the cheap way out by having them at a good ol' fashion birthing because baby stories are not my favourite.

This was sweet, and I like the idea that, instead, they are not dead, but they have just been brought back in time.
You put that time-traveling thing to real good use!

[elliotsmelliot]

Thanks! In my mind they were all dead, except for Claire, who had the dead looking out for her, and Juliet. But I like how it could be read the other way. Thanks for commenting and reading.

Damn, now I wish I had gotten to this one sooner! Oh well, joys of catching up ;) the idea was freaking brilliant. All the women reunited in such a situation was just gold. Ana's attitude was so very IC as Shannon's . Danielle holding the lantern and being the calm one was such a great touch and your Juliet voice was perfect, one could feel how happy she was when the baby was born. I loved how it tied up with the whole time traveling business, I just might take this as my canon. Oh, and much love for the 50s waiting room outside!! ;) I really loved it, it was so original and so well written. Great work!

I'm glad you liked it, even if this is my least favourite story. Maybe I am reflecting more on its growing pains. Apparently my muse leans towards the gents. Thanks so much for reading. I know I have a lot of luau fics, including yours, still to catch up on.
