Yay, dead Jack!

Boo, dead Sawyer.

[aboutbunnies]

Pretty much how I feel too, though I'm sure you know that.

Your icon is freaking me out.

[the_dibbler]

Aww, no TurkeyHead for you?

And yes, I figured you'd feel that way.

[aboutbunnies]

Well, I do much prefer Ross.

Whoa. I love the idea of giving Jack what he wants, at the beginning. And then you take it and twist it into what would realistically happen, which surprised me. And yet, it makes an odd sort of sense, and in a way, THAT is what Jack really wanted in his heart, isn't it? That's amazing.

[aboutbunnies]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. And yeah, I do think that's ultimately what Jack wanted.

[obreesprit]

I agree with eponine119. Excellent job. Nice insight.

[aboutbunnies]

Thank you :)

And Jack ends up exactly where he wanted to be ... I liked this a lot. His wish to get back to the island and his suicidal drive are almost the same thing, but here it has what seems very much like a happy ending. One where people are glad to see him. Aww, that is a sweet homecoming, then.

[aboutbunnies]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I agree - his wishes are almost one in the same, which is actually partly what inspired this little ficlet.

I felt as intrigued and disorientated as Jack throughout this one, especially discovering that Sawyer was dead too! A rematch indeed.

Thanks! (Though sorry it was disorienting to you!)
