As soon as I've read this I started thinking that they really wasted the possible scenarios involving the captivity.
I'm quite happy with Lost now, but the potential was so much higher, especially given the fact that Ben declared out loud that they captured Kate and Sawyer for leverage towards Jack.

I really love this Captivity!fic.
Loved Sawyer's hesitation, his trying to stay away from the files, and only after giving in to his curiosity, his trying to "con" the cameras at the beginning and at the end, when he wakes up alone.

“There’s more to people than what it says there,” he points vaguely at the reports
You captured that "more" in their dialogue, that implied a lot of feelings, not necessarily love but definitely something, with their embarrassment, and guilt, and angst at the same time.
And in the way Jack kept touching Sawyer, maybe under a doctoral disguise, but really just to know he's ok, to comfort him.

I love how they communicate, telling each other about the cage, the aquarium, the second island...
I really think that knowing the truth about each other could help them ... a lot of problems came from miscommunication.

I wish in their reunion on show they would be so sincere with each other, but I try not to get my hopes up.

Any thoughts about continuing this? I'd love to see another part.

Thank you! I've been missing them having scenes together too and of course they used the captivity to drive them apart instead, alas.

I wish in their reunion on show they would be so sincere with each other, but I try not to get my hopes up.

I know just what you mean. I had to write this to satisfy that longing because I sincerely doubt it'll play out anything like this. It seems like that scene in "Exodus, Part 1" is the closest they'll ever be (that and the scene in your icon!) and that makes me sad. Seasons 2 and 3 have been all about them drifting farther apart. Heck, I was just noticing that in S2 they were back together by episode 8. Here we are at ep 15 and nothing yet. (I assume anyway, based on the promos for tonight.)

Anyway, I'm so glad you liked this. The idea of them finding out the details of each other's pasts really intrigued me and this seemed like the ideal way to have that come out. I don't know where I'd take this if I continued it but of course I hope I'll always have more to explore with these two!
