First, thanks so much for starting this off for us. That was amazingly brave. Secondly, this letter makes a lot of sense. It gives Jin a chance to explain himself in a way he hopes he never will do in person.

Be happy, Sun.

I love this line! It reminds me of something Jin would say to Sun in English. Great work!

Thanks! It was the kind of thing I could quite easily see Jin trying to write at the time.

Oh, this was lovely! I really liked how you went with it, it sounded so much like what Jin would write, and it makes so much sense given last episode.

You are my Valentine for writing this! It's a wonder the shirt did not fall apart sooner, given how is seems to swoon at his touch.

I’m not exactly what your kind calls a poet,

Oh shirt, your very existence is poetic! And I loved all the ‘your kind’ stuff too!

I realized that my new sisters all share a shade of my color;

Snort. Best tribute ever! And the buttons as her children - classic crack!

P.S. No kidding - I was actually looking at my scrap of blue cloth Christmas card from you when I got my e-mail notification of this post.

♥ Why, I knew you were going to appreciate that. ;) ;)

Isn't her very existence poetic indeed? I just had so much fun with this one. That shirt kind of makes my life. Or something.

Also, woah! That's the FSM operating his magic or something because that's too much of a Lost coincidence to be a coincidence.

To: Jack, From: Boone, PG really janie_tangerine February 17 2009, 23:35:18 UTC
Dear Jack,

I… well, I realize that writing this isn’t probably that good of an idea. Not that it would be any news, and I guess you know that well enough, but I never was famous for being the one who gets the smart ideas.

Anyway, this isn’t the point of this letter, not exactly. The point is… well, there’s more than I need to tell you and I’m not sure at all I could do it in your face. Also, in order to find the paper I had to steal it from Sawyer’s stuff that day he was off hunting and please, realize that stealing things from Sawyer is not something I’d do if the situation didn’t absolutely require it. I had the pen already, but that was probably the only thing that wouldn’t need explanations here. And I’ve already wasted too much space, so I’ll go straight to the point.

Me and Jo Locke haven’t been hunting, lately. We’ve been trying to open this hatch door we found by chance that day when we split while searching for Charlie and Claire. He says we shouldn’t tell and that we’re meant to open it and a lot of other stuff but I’m ( ... )

From crack to heartfelt love...

I loved all the stops and starts here, and the hesitation to me overly familiar and overly hopeful. I like the touch of how he had to steal paper from Sawyer.

just… come searching for me if you’d like to… at least talk about it.

I hope this message was delivered and received positively! Hmmm, what would Jack’s response me. A reassuring smile? A kiss? A letter in kind?

Those were quite the opposites, weren't they? I couldn't exactly picture him writing the letter without going back on half of it. Ah, Boone. *sigh*

Oh, I decided it was. ;) And who knows, I might actually write an answer here if I manage to figure out a couple of things. Thanks for reading!

Oh-My-God I LOVE THIS.

Oh, I wish you heard me laughing. I wish you had because I've been laughing non-stop since I started this. Remembering our crack conversation I understood who was the admirer as soon as I read the header but oh, the gloriousness of this crack. Penis of doom indeed!!! This had so much golden stuff!

Nadia stood no chance of surviving me again, not when the island’s vengeance roared through my flesh, even from oceans away

I guess that surviving it once was luck enough!!!

I love how the penis was behind almost every misfortune of the island and how it never killed Jack and Sawyer because it fancied them itself, and seriously, if they gave this explanation for Danielle and Alex in canon it'd have made more sense. Even though I'll scowl at it for being indirectly responsible for Boone. ;) ;)

I spared your chest barring roommate on the freighter, if only because his thoughts were directed elsewhere.Thank the blue shirt for small favors! I'm sure it's lying and it couldn't resist her too, right? ;) Des, you were ( ... )

I blame you entirely for inspiring this with your crack essay.

I love how the penis was behind almost every misfortune of the island

Indeed. I tried to fit it some more random deaths like Scott (or Steve?) and Naomi, but I ran out of space. I'm sorry for Boone. The penis didn't know it's strength back than or would have spared him since he was an ally against Sayid and Shannon.

Also, I loved how proper is the penis' phrasing/grammar here, it really did take from its owner.

Hee! Yes, this is how Sayid thinks with both his heads! Thanks for reading and not running away screaming.

I would leave a proper comment, except that I've been laughing so hard that I'm distracted by the possible need to summon an ambulance. This is perfect, and you are completely brilliant.

Is it too much to wonder if the Flame and the submarine were actually blown up by Sayid's cock? ;)

Written one month after their reunion.

Penny,

Since you found me, time has permanently changed. The most fleeting moments, a glimpse of your shadow against the wall, the orange peel you left on the counter, the crack and pop of your right knee when you stretch each morning, this is how my seconds, my minutes, and my hours are now measured. There is no need for clocks when there are hearts to beat in unison, inhales to match exhales, and two bodies that rise and fall with the waves. This is what you gave me, a future instead of a past, only a horizon ahead that we will meet together.

Always,
Desmond

Oh, this was just so good. It might be short but it conveys so much and aw, it's so poetic really. Definitely the love letter I could totally see him writing, it's so touching that he measures time by what she does. *sighs happily* ♥

Thank you! I'm glad you liked this. I figured he would be brief since he would rather be with her than write to her.
