Fic, Lost. Days Aren't Long Enough (Desmond/Penny), R, for 10_shakespeare

[janie_tangerine]

So yes, that scene so ate my mind that I spent half of last night in a sort of writing frenzy and still totally high from the joys that Des/Penny brings shippers. So yes, I need to get this out before I get all chocked up on watching it again.

aw, i really liked it! it's exactly how i imagine it would have happened... :) i loved the part with the 108 minutes and also where he's sorry about the lost greatest hits list.

[janie_tangerine]

Thank you! It just came like that and I usually am not near as happy as that but well.. *is chocked up damnit* glad that those two parts worked, the 108 minutes is my personal canon fixation and well, show doesn't include the greatest hits, I do it. Thanks so much again!

[novalee17]

yeah, i thought it was quite disappointing that they didn't refer to the Greatest Hits list again.... well, maybe someday, you never know with lost... ;D
and btw, that icon is just beautiful... i love Des and Penny so much... :)

[janie_tangerine]

It's still unreleased (the icon) but I'll have them out next week or so. I've done, like, fifteen with the same cap. I love them too much really ;)

let's hope they do refer it.. *sigh*

[janie_tangerine]

Thank you so much indeed, especially because you don't ship them in the first place and it makes it even better to hear! ♥

They just make me happy. I think it's probably the only ship I ever shipped that spared me three quarters of the ordinary Lost ships drama and I just needed to get that out. I was sort of crying myself there and knowing that I got you more or less on my point really means incredibly much to me. I'm really so glad you liked reading it and well, at least there was some happy to get out from that show for once. ♥ thank you so much again! *loves*

Thanks so much for writing this. I loved the format and the transition to listening and talking with their bodies and minds. It was a perfect detail to have them need to touch each other at all times. It is such a tender resolution and just feels like it will just work out. They are ready to stay calm together and appreciate each other because they know what they gave up by acting rashly before.

the squeeze she gives his hand is more than he had dared to hope.

I especially like how you had Desmond tell her everything right away from Kelvin to Charlie. You captured how tough it was for him to confess all this out loud and his fear at having her hear it. I get the sense that that Desmond still needs to make peace with himself but having Penny's understanding in the open will make this easier. And by day six, there is enough recovery between them to allow for jokes about lima beans.

Oh, thank you so much, I'm really so glad you liked this! Especially coming from you because I'm never too sure that I don't fall into the fluff of doom when I try my hand at those two, even if I love them beyond sanity.

It's great to hear the body language worked, that's one of the things I always try not to screw up and I just felt that they would be touching each other every possible second.

They are ready to stay calm together and appreciate each other because they know what they gave up by acting rashly before.

Exactly what I was trying to imply ;) I'm glad the Desmond's attitude worked in here, maybe in the show they didn't show it but no one is ever going to convince me that he doesn't need to straighten any issues, especially at this point. And I can't do without lima beans it seems, even if they were out of the proper setting ;) thank you so much again, I'm really so glad you liked it! I just couldn't refrain. They make me ridiculously happy.

Yeah, I've found my biggest het OTP evar.
Thank you for writing this :)

[janie_tangerine]

I think I've found it too but it's always my unofficial one. Officially, I don't have OTPs. I can't have them. Because as soon as I say it it dies ;)

Thanks so much, glad you liked it! ♥
