I am so glad you liked it! And your feedback is amazing, it seriously made my morning. It was strange writing this pairing; it kind of forced me to think about them in a deeper way than I'm used to and I have to admit it was a fun challenge. I might have to revisit them again at some point.
Seriously though, you write this pairing so beautifully and poignantly that I'm honored that you liked this. I was torn between writing you J/J and J/K and finally I decided to stop being a wimp and go for the J/K. ;)
I've always thought that Jack looks at Kate and sees who she could be whereas Sawyer looks at Kate and sees who she is. But I don't think that's necessarily a good thing, I think in some ways Jack's idealization of her pushes her to be better,and I think in her heart she wants to be the good girl that he believes she is. Whereas with Sawyer they see the very worst parts of each other and not much else (which is why I think S/J works so well---she never saw him as "Sawyer" he was always James to her).
I think the problem with their relationship is they both need to find some middle ground. Jack needs to realize she's not this perfect, innocent girl that he wants to believe she is, while she needs to understand that Jack has his own issues, he's not perfect either. And I don't know how I ended telling you all of my detailed thoughts on the quadrangle but here we are. ;)
Anyway, I'm so glad you liked your birthday present! And thank you again for leaving such lovely feedback. It means a lot to me.
