OH OH OH, it's almost like a replay of Sarah too, see, this could have all been avoided if there was one normal chick on that island that told Kate off and made her own choice.
Jack's a good man, he really is, it's just..he needs to speak up more, the not wanting to hurt anyone only leads to people getting hurt.
It is almost like a replay of Sarah, which is really kind of sad that he keeps getting into relationships like this. And yes, we really do need someone that's actually remotely normal on that island, because our femmes are just not.
The problem with him not speaking up, not saying what he means, is it's kind of like leading people on almost, in my opinion. He does that a bit sometimes I think.
Oh, Jack...has your experience with forcing yourself to love Sarah taught you nothing? I really like the ending when he is comforted by seeing Kate and Sawyer kind of falling apart too, knowing it's all a big charade and that Jack and Kate are both not with who they want to be. I'm sure Juliet is aware too, because she's a bright woman, though she's probably playing along just the same as everyone else because there's no other choice in that place. Makes you wish Jack and Kate would get some courage and just face the fact that they need each other and all their miscommunication, running away, and hedging bets needs to stop.
Sorry for that bit of a tangent, but that's what happens when I read good fic! I get all thinky. ;) This is very much the way I see the love square playing out, both Jack and Kate stubbornly sticking to their corners, neither believing that if they leave the person they are with that they will end up together.
You know, I very much agree with you that Juliet would play along with this big charade because there aren't any other options. And believe me, I wish Jack and Kate would just get their act together and face up to their feelings just as much as you do.
I don't mind a tangent, lol, I actually appreciate it, because then you get ME thinking.
I'm thrilled that you liked this! Thanks for the prompt that got me out of thw writing rut of the past few days.
See this is Jacket I can stand, because it's realistic and not all la la la rainbows and butterflies.
The begining reminds me so much of that scene in I Do with Sawyer and Kate, where she kisses him to avoid answering his question, part of her hoping to distract him and part of her hoping it will cause him to figure it out so it's less awkward and painful.
His hand comes to touch her cheek, the smooth skin underneath his fingertips flushed and warm, and he tries to decide if he can fake this.
Thank you! I just kept reading over this, and you know when you get sick of staring at something? That's how I felt at that point. But I'm glad you think it was complete.

“You’re beautiful,” he tells her instead..
I love that part.

I'm glad you were able to stand it though.

Well I've gotten better with Jacket, now that I don't resent Juliet anymore. Certainly doesn't hurt that it was well written.
