SO. Fanmix time! I'm just going to go ahead and put this whole thing under a cut because I have no idea how spoiler-y this could be considered. But you know. Assume spoilers for the bulk of season five?
So, from way back when - like episode 3 of this season? - I decided Charles/Eloise was where it's at, haha. And then, you know. There was that whole canon confirmation with the reveal that Dan is Eloise and Charles's kid (...not so shocking, haha) and then Richard telling Jack that "love can be complicated" when he inquired after the relationship between these two, and I DON'T KNOW. They're sort of epic, and they're Others and young!Widmore is really hot. That's really the only defense I need.
On that note (no pun intended), fanmix time!
