Oh God. Dear Locke, looks like even if they're butchering your character your episodes will always fill me with glee someway.

I'm referring to the second sneak

Des and Sayid back to save the show! They need some serious screentime catch up. Especially Des. I don't think a Des/Claire confrontation will ever happen on the show since they've disappeared Claire from the story, but I'd love to see you fic it. All I'm hoping for is a Danny/Dessy meeting before the end. And maybe a Penny appearence, if not undead!Charlie.

I hope I manage to finish your 'Dead but here' fic some time. I've decided to do it with Boone POV and boy, I have to say I'm surprised. I thought I'd struggle, but Boone is a little dream to write for!

HELL YES THEY DO. They're so back and I don't care about the rest of the episode. If they manage to salvage the Locke wreck I'll be much happy but if they don't who cares. They save the show!!

The Claire disappearing is probably what is messing with that fic. I had wanted to write it for two months but procrastinated because I wouldn't have treated Claire fairly but now it'd be an AU, I don't like it, I'm not treating her fairly anyway and I just can sense that it doesn't work. Argh, I'll probably have to ditch it for now.

I've decided to do it with Boone POV and boy, I have to say I'm surprised. I thought I'd struggle, but Boone is a little dream to write for!

\O/ HELL YES! *does the happy dance* Isn't he just the most cooperative little pretty thing ever? Now you got me damn excited, can't wait to read it! And yeah, he's a dream indeed. I think that he just wants recognition and so when you give it to him he just comes easily, or at least that's how it is for me. *sighs*

If you're ditching the Des/Claire fic could you at least give me a quick description of what it was going to be like? You have got me all curious now.

It'll be another few weeks at least before I get back to my Undead fic. I might wait till the show has gone away, because 90% of the time it just gets me down. But yeah, Boone's POV has really saved this fic. I started off using Alex POV but it was too depressing, as was Charlie POV. Danielle POV I didn't even want to contemplate. Then I tried with Boone and...he was so zen! He was able to be sensitive, thoughtful, but also completely calm about the situation, which is what I needed. And I'm totally squishing on Boone/Charlie.

I guess I'll ditch it for now, maybe if they clear what's happened with Claire after the finale I may go back to it with a clearer head

[falafel_fiction]

It's really hard to write any canon based fic using the ring, the list and Claire/Des reactions to Charlies death, because all these things have been ignored on the show. I have no idea how Desmond or Claire feel about Charlie. I don't see why I have to imagine their reactions and pretend these things happened off-camera. The impression I get from the show is that Hurley is the only one who ever cared about Charlie. Which bugs because Charlie gave his life for Claire and it was Desmond who led him to this fate. They should feel something! I'm especially concerned about Desmonds lack of reaction, because unlike Claire, I love his character. But Desmond really hasn't had any screentime, besides The Constant. I've seen promo pics showing that Sayid gets back to the beach by ep12. If Desmond gets back too and he isn't freaked out by the Claire/Aaron thing then I'll start wondering what happened to S3 Des

[janie_tangerine]

You have a point there. About Desmond, I've got my meta based on the first episode which corresponds more or less to what I wrote in that lack of God prompt. Aka he's feeling awfully guilty (also because of his face when Penny mentioned Charlie during the call) but with being on the freighter/having not that much screentime they didn't explore that except for episode one. I guess that if he stays back one could see it in S5 or as you said in the finale but, not enough. My problem is really Claire because crying in episode one and a Charlie? when she's confused/shocked in episode 9 doesn't cover it. I've just lost so much interest/patience with her that I'm not able to give her decent character development and I can't bring myself to cut her slack/justify her lack of mourning

[falafel_fiction]

With Desmond, a) he's had so little screentime b) his character always buries things deep c) in The Constant he was bouncing through time and couldn't even think straight d) it isn't like he has been giggling and drinking coffee. So yeah, for those reasons Des bugs less than Claire but I'm still disappointed. Also Desmond/Charlie always kept their flashes angst to themselves. I'm hoping Des might talk to Faraday about it, who is surely gonna question Desmond about his condition, right? Maybe not. Nobody asks sensible questions on that show.

[janie_tangerine]

Totally with you on there. And yeah I mean, he surely wasn't giggling or whatever, poor guy. *shakes head* I wonder what would have happened with those two episodes that they had to cut because of the strike. And the last sensible question asked on that show probably was Charlie's where are we? in the pilot, or something like that *sighs*. I hope he talks to Faraday at least. I'd love to see them having some screen time together.
