Well, I had this in mind for months and since the insane thing has stopped to cooperate after 8000 words of cooperating, guess I'll just write it since it's the only prompt for that table left for which I had an idea.

Wow, I love your Boone fics, even if they are angst-ridden. I love the contrast of how Sawyers encounters with Boone were always so hot and physical and now he can't accept Boone as this cold lifeless body. Sayids speech for Boone was always one of my favourite moments.

Phew! I'm glad Sawyer didn't just turn to someone and say "I screwed him."

You do need to write a happy!Boone fic some time. Think teh pens of doom. Think warrior!Boone defending the camp against...Vincent!

[janie_tangerine]

LOL I like that! Though I'd have to put him against the most beloved character on the show... uuuhm... well, I just could decide that he comes back to life and kicks both Ben's and Keamy's ass before they off Alex. What about it?

I like my Sawyer when he keeps private stuff to himself, sort of ;)

Seriously, I'm really glad you liked it and that the contrast between the sex and the, well, that, worked because I was aiming for that. I solemnly swear that the Boone/Charlie I owe is going to be completely angst-free *nods eagerly*. The Sayid speech? I loved it. That episode completely made me in tiny little pieces *sighs*. Thanks so much! ♥

I literally clapped sitting here in front of my computer when I saw a Sawyer/Boone appear on my flist! I luuuurve me some Sawyer/Boone, something which sadly never came to fruition on the show even as friendship. Can you IMAGINE the snark between the two of them that could have been?

But alas, it was not.

This was lovely despite it being so sad. Can't really help the sad part since the writers killed dear, sweet Boone...and yes, I'm still bitter. I liked how Sawyer couldn't grasp the death - very realistic given the suddenness and then given Sawyer's history I would think he shuts off when dealing with the death of someone he knows - especially since he would just generally avoid knowing people well enough to care. Then the repetition of images with the skin, eyes, lips, and hands. And the end was so simple but so perfect!

Yay for the squeeing! This pairing is totally and completely underrated.

Can you IMAGINE the snark between the two of them that could have been?

Oh God yes. They're actually the only pairing I managed to write something rated higher than R for which kind of explains itself. Probably. *sighs*

I'm totally bitter with you. I think I'm not really over it and it's still the thing I hated most in four seasons. I'm really glad you thought Sawyer worked here, it seemed like a reaction he could have and so it's great to hear it works. Thank you so much, I'm really so glad you liked it ♥! There should be more of this pairing around, oh yes.

he's got this idea that a split lip is better than a split body.

Ummmmm.

Ummmmm.

Sorry, I needed time to gather my thoughts and catch my breath because my heart broke into a bunch of little pieces on that sentence. This was a beautiful piece and as incredible a set-up it was (especially by you Mrs. Jack/Boone), it was very moving. The description of Boone's body in death and in life were so tender. I could just envision Sawyer's stunned face during the funeral.

[janie_tangerine]

God, that line was my suicide. I sort of hate myself when I go that way because I actually feel bad for getting salt on an open wound, but one day I will actually manage to write angst-less Boone stuff. Maybe. *sends some mental image of Desmond wearing Sayid's tank top in order to get your/my heart back together, sort of*

I'm really so glad you liked this one, I guess that while J/B will always be my favorite thing ever, this one pairing is actually quite interesting and it's always nice to have a go at it. It's great to hear that the description worked because those were the thing I liked best about this, thank you so much! ♥

[elliotsmelliot]

Thanks! Images of Desmond wearing Sayid's tank topic did the trick because in addition to getting a peak at his lovely arms, one must wonder at the circumstances where he came to be wearing Sayid's shirt. Good morning, indeed.

I actually feel bad for getting salt on an open wound

Literally! I think it will make you feel better if you stare at your new header. Those faces, especially their eyes are good medicine.

[janie_tangerine]

LOL this morning I was wondering which one of them I should have up there then decided screw it, let's have all. And it was a pretty nice idea. *goes up and stares*

in addition to getting a peak at his lovely arms, one must wonder at the circumstances where he came to be wearing Sayid's shirt.

That exactly. It's a pleasant thought to have around, isn't it just? *sigh*

[halfdutch]

*sniffles* Such a beautifully angsty fic. Of course Sawyer would finally fall for someone who wouldn't be there for long. I love these two together, still, even if it's all in the past.

[janie_tangerine]

Thank you so much! It's kind of evident that I'm still so not over S1 *sighs*. And it's really an underrated pairing, I just wish they gave them more actual interaction at least. Glad you liked it, thanks so much again! ♥
