MY HEART IS VERY FULL RIGHT NOW.

I don't even know what to say, how do I put incomprehensible flailing into words? I love how they all realize they're better off together. I love how you managed to work Hurley and Des and Walt into this. I love how you made Claire whole again and how freaking adorable Richard and Miles are together and that Miles called Des a time lord. I love that Miles punches Jim because he's too stupid to realize they never wanted him to leave. And ANNIE. OMG, ANNIE. (Um, totally going to be needing a sequal where she and Jim hook up, btw.)

Basically, I LOVE ALL THE THINGS. AMAZING FIC, MY DEAR. ABSOLUTELY, AMAZING. <3333

Oh yay! It worked. I just wanted it to be like a group hug on the beach episode, so I'm glad it worked for you. Walt was literally a last-minute brainwave. And I've been wanting to write Annie and Sawyer ever since Gilbert showed us the tombstone with her last name. They would be so cute together. And Sawyer could hep George become less anal. It would be fun!

Thank you so much for reading and for the lovely lovely comment! <3

Part 1

[seraphtrevs]

FUZZY HAPPY ENDINGS YAY! Seriously, with all the craziness these poor people have been through, it's nice to see them catch a break, for once.

But what I liked even more than the fuzzy happy ending was how wonderfully you fleshed out the complicated feelings that they all have for each other, and the time they spent together. Reunions are tricky things - like, even if you really, sincerely want to meet up with people from your past, there's still so much anxiety and mixed feelings, and that's just when you have a normal past.

The stuff with Claire was my favorite. Her insecurities about how people would relate to her absolutely broke my heart. I really liked the arrangement that you have with her and Kate, because Aaron needs both of them. And they know that, but even with that knowledge there's still some understandable tension between them. Seeing that tension and seeing them work through it is really satisfying - like, the happy ending comes with work, you know

Part 2

Lines that I liked!

- Good old Frank, who always showed up when needed, but who was never missed when he went his own way.

Aww, poor Frank. :( I really liked the wording of that - captures him perfectly.

- Kate can’t tell what she misses more---not knowing where she was going to end up, or the people she usually ended up with. At this point, either one would do.

That's another good line - it really sums up her ambivalence.

- She cringes at the thought of being looked at with that excruciating mixture of fear, pity and disdain. The people in Honolulu looked at her that way, too, when they first got there, back when she still jumped at every little noise, when she acted strangely in stores, when her long unpracticed efforts at small talk crumbled, disconcerting people just as she remembers Rousseau having disconcerted her so long ago.

GOD, this just hit me like a punch to the gut (in a good way) - it's just so heart-breaking. *hugs Claire FOREVER*

- Sometimes Claire’s reminded of how many people have met and loved her baby,

Wow, thank you for the amazing feedback!! I squeed when I saw this.

Glad you thought Miles/Richard were cute. For a pairing that only showed up at the eleventh hour, they are insanely easy-going to write. And somehow, I started bff-shipping Penny/Frank while writing this. They wouldn't stop talking to each other! They (plus Hurley's mom) are the best tertiary characters ever.

I'm glad you liked the Claire parts. She's really hard to write for some reason, but I always felt so terribly for her. I think she had things the hardest of everyone who was left. If only my bb Sayid had survived, they could have helped one another recuperate. and Sayid could have made it with Kate, finally. Alas! Lol, I remember your thing about needing to know the kids are okay. I made myself cry writing the Desmond and bb!Charlie part; didn't realize that I had been wanting that until it was happening. It was pathetic. I felt like Jack, crying over his own voicemail

I'm so glad you liked it! When I got my assignment, I thought I'd found my fanfiction soulmate. Your prompts made this really easy to think up. :-) And I 100% believe that everyone should go back to the island. It's a nice place and it'll be happy now that Hurley's in charge. And maybe Annie, George and Mitchell can visit. That would be fun. And now, since they're all vaguely supernatural (candidates, mediums, ex-immortals, whatever Desmond is), she has more people who can see her.

Frank is the most awesome person on Lost, trufax (well, maybe tied with early seasons Sayid). There can never be too much for him. I somehow fell in love with the idea of him and Penny being BFFs while I was writing this. We actually don't know how long he spent with her and Desmond at the end of season 4, after the Oceanic 6 took their leave. It could have been weeks; they could totally be bffs.

I love Annie, and I have this thing where I crossover ship Sawyer with everyone.
