Awesome AU! Love it. The Shephards as booze peddlers, you have to love that! And of course Sawyer and Kate as carnival folk makes so much sense. Especially Sawyer as a card shark.

Can't wait for that hot, sweaty trailer sex. ;)

[hkath]

Hell, *I* can't wait for that! Screw everything else... except not, because I can't seem to stop writing it.

Thanks, glad you like it! I can't believe it's my first AU, seems a bit weird to admit that. :)

*smooches*

it's fabulous! I love how you gave us the feel, color and scent, of the carnival! Imaginative AU, that's for sure. a touch I love is that it is in the 30's, I don't think I've ever read something quite like that before.

ah, Christian. even before he spoke, he was perfect. you really write him well. And Sawyer, Jack and even Kate were spot on.

“What is it exactly that you do around here, Mr. Sawyer?”

Sawyer smiles. It always tickles him when someone calls him 'mister'. It never lasts.

“You mean, besides the occasional friendly game of cards?”

“Besides the occasional swindle,” Jack corrects him.

“I do whatever needs doin',” Sawyer says.

*claps*

I'm loving this. ♥ ♥

Hee! Nice icon! ;)

Thanks, I'm really happy you think Christian was okay. I've been iffy on writing him (obviously, or my psych_30 claim would be much further along than it is), so that puts me at ease.

*hugs*

Omigosh, I'm so excited about this!! The concept is genius and that comment you left in Ang's journal a while back, I want that NOW, but this slow build is so nice too.

Jack being a dick about the cards and Christian being a dick in general and Sawyer just being Sawyer, they all fit perfectly into this world you've created and I can't wait for more!

[hkath]

Yay! Thanks for your comments! I can't wait for sweaty trailer sex myself, but the thing's really moving slowly and it's a lot of fun to write so far :D

Glad you liked it! *MUAH*

This? Is awesome. That's pretty much all I'm capable right now because I'm all fangirly over the fact that you took The Mango Scene and made it into an AU version so easily. And the dedication is completely unneccessary, LOL. But still, ♥ as always. More plz.

[hkath]

The dedication is *so* necessary, because you rock my world completely!

Yay, and I'm so happy you liked it! Now I can get back to working on it, hehe ;)

*smooches*

[foxxcub]

You write on this and I'll get my ass back to Small Favors instead of futzing with my layout! :)

[hkath]

Score! *types like the devil*

Only you could take a cracktastic, improbable idea and create something so fabulous and full. I swear, you astound me. The whole description of this world is so vivid and you put the reader pull the reader right in, using traits of the characters we love to propel them along.

Look, coherency! I also love the way you worked in the slang, how you explained it later in that paragraph so that I never even paused to go, "what?". SO GOOD. I'm so blessed to be able to see it first too, hee!

Less coherent? EEE! I so love the carnies! Hot sexy slashy carnies finding their groove with one another! ♥ for days (well, forever, really, just don't wanna sound crazy!). *smooch*

[arabella_hope]

AND CHRISTIAN SQUEE!!! I almost forgot to do that! :D
