Hi! I'm Alessia, a fellow Jack whore too. I followed Laura's advice and I've just read your fic. It is truly well-written, you captured both of them in a great way. I agree that Jack would never have left her after they had built such a strong bond among each other. And it's heartbreaking that she thinks so. But I think it's truly in character for Shannon, as it is her self-deprecating and her thought of using sex as the first way to connect to another human being. I particularly liked that you settled this fic in current canon. Most of Jack/Shannon fics, even if written now, are settled back in season1, for obvious reasons. But I think that you are right in letting her help him now, when he really needs someone on his corner. I wish that someone could be Sawyer, but canon will never ever give me that. I still hope that Claire can be that someone, loving him (as a sister) unconditionally. But among het pairs, Jack/Shannon is for sure my favourite, and I still think that a relationship among them would have worked. But anyway, back on track: I really liked this, thanks for sharing! I hope you keep writing in Lost fandom!
Hello! It's awesome to meet so many fellow jack whores. I'm so glad you liked this and I'm especially glad that you think I was able to keep both of them in character. With Shannon I think she has a lot of trust issues she would have to work through before she could feel confident in a relationship, and I was a little worried about having her use sex to try to help him instead of actually trying to talk to him, but it just made sense to me that she would think that that was the only thing she had to offer to anyone. I kinda just bent the time line to meet my own needs so I'm glad that it still worked out. I definitely wanted to do something with the present broken Jack because I absolutely love him, it's just too bad Shannon isn't still around to make this a reality. Anyway, thank you so much for reviewing, I'm so glad you were pleased with this!
