Lost Luau Drabbles (Charlie, Jack, Sawyer, Jack/Sawyer)
For Queen toestastegood: Charlie
Charlie remembers being little, being at the playground as a little boy. Liam had pushed him off the top of the slide, causing Charlie to fall ten feet to the ground, but he hadn't suffered broken bones or a concussion, nothing more than grazed elbows.
He can't shake the memory as he stumbles around the wreckage of the plane, smoldering in some places, still burning in others.
The incidences are blurring together, probably from the drugs, and Charlie is surprised to blink and no longer have his brother there, stumbling over an apology and begging for him to be okay.

For Queen invisiblelove: Jack
Jack doesn't bother going to work anymore. Hasn't bothered shaving in a while, either, and he runs his hand over his week old beard. On an impulse he drove to the airport, parking just beyond the fencing where he's sure teenagers come at night to fool around. Jack's just watching the planes, though, as they take off and land at even intervals, like clockwork.
It takes another week before he finds himself on a plane, taking a gamble, playing the odds. He just needs one plane to be on the right path and then all of this will be over.

For Queen hopelessfangirl: Crack (Sawyer, Hurley, a certain frog)
He's not feeling so great, Sawyer realizes, as he watches Hurley, who was standing there with a horrified expression and now seems sorta...shimmery, like heat waves coming off summer-baked pavement. It's when Hurley starts rotating through the color spectrum that Sawyer knows something is really wrong.
"Son of a bitch," Sawyer curses, trying to glare at what remains of the frog in his hand but getting distracted by how he's swirly and color-changing, too. He blinks heavily. "Bastard is making me hallucinate."
"Karma's a bitch, dude," Hurley laughs before leaving Sawyer alone in the jungle to ride it out.

For Queen eponine119: OTPs (Jack/Sawyer)
Sawyer weaves in and out of unconsciousness as his body fights the infection. He doesn't know where he is, but it's cooler than the island, so Sawyer wonders if he'll wake up and find that it's been nothing but a damn dream.
He hears Jack's voice, though, sometimes. Jack talking to him about what's happening and how he needs Sawyer to pull through this so he hadn't failed at least one of them.
When Sawyer finally opens his eyes, he's disappointed that Kate's there but makes an effort to pretend otherwise. He wants Jack to know that he didn't fail.
