Ok, first, before I forget it..

“Christ! You and Desmond must have gotten along like a house on fire,” said Charlie, ceasing his strumming pattern. “You’re both photo junkies!”CHARLIE WINS. No, really, that quote was pure gold. Surely they are

Yay! Thank you so much, Janie. I thought you might like this one. I'm a bit panicky about Pt2 now because I've only got it written in very rough notes and I'm out all day Sunday, but maybe sometime early next week I'll get it finished off. It is inspiring to see readers hungry for more. Speaking of which, will there be more 'Trial of Ben Linus' soon?

Thanks so much for your comments on my Sayid portral. I totally love Sayid, but find him harder to write for than Charlie and Desmond. I mean, Desmond having a big fit of angst is just an indulgent pleasure really. And writing the FF Charlie as a cool determined mentor who gives his old superiors Sayid and Jack a good telling off was a real treat too. I think the main thing that made me wanna write this fic was the idea of my three favourite characters linked by appealing protective male bonds. I had to resist having Sayid and Desmond power-hugging at several points. They just get carried away in their little cabin!

Well, that's pretty much the situation of the undead Charlie/Boone one which I hope to have out next week, if it doesn't keep drawing plot, so I kinda get you on that. There will definitely be more Trial sometime soon but I'll try to finish the Team Undead Hot one before and then I'll get back to it.

I definitely agree on Sayid being a though one to get across, but you've done a brilliant job with it. And I also forgot that I loved Charlie using the old!awesome!Locke technique with Jack but I catch the occasion to say it now ;)

the idea of my three favourite characters linked by appealing protective male bonds.

That's so a sweet thought *sighs* and don't they REALLY get carried away? Those two have writing personalities of their own *sighs*..

LOL, at Team Undead Hot! So true. I'm really looking forward to that fic, so I guess I'll you mine if you'll show me yours - next week yeah? Deal.

Yeah, I seriously want FF Charlie to help Jack with his drug problem on the show. It's too perfect considering Jack is hooked on a drugs so similar to heroin. And it would be the perfect full circle for Charlie to become the wise old ex-junkie and use cool-Locke's methods to get Jack clean. Honestly Darlton will suck at life if they don't think to do this.

Thanks again!

Deal! You shall have Team Undead Hot next week ;)

Let's definitely hope they do! At least something good would come out of the current state of things.
