WHEW!! You know, I actually started writing this the day you sent your sign-up in, because I was like, "Sun! Sark! Best prompt ever!" but I thought it majorly sucked, which is why I started trying to write the Jeeves one (which failed and has now turned into a completely other epic) with the idea that this could just be your sucky bonus fic. But now I think the other one sucks, so maybe that can be your sucky bonus fic instead?

I'm so glad because you commented on all the parts I had the most fun writing even though they were random, like the travelling and the crossbows (not sure where that came from) and Sark's bizarre efforts at flirting (in my head, he's really socially maladjusted when he tries to be real). And I'm glad you liked the ending; I initially was going to have it be all canonical, but then I fell for the pairing too much and wanted to give her a happy ending. Sun deserved better! She deserved Sark. :)

Anyway, this was super fun to write despite being terrified about writing Sun (she's just as hard as Juliet). And you know me: Sayid can't help but pop up, but I told myself he made sense here since he was all spy-ish in canon, too. Plus I know how you like people to be all beaten up followed by some hurt/comfort, and who better to do that to Sark than Sayid? ;)

So happy you liked it! ♥♥♥♥♥♥
