it will go on lost, richard/jacob; 584; r
Somewhere along the way Richard starts to gets it. He starts to understand. Jacob's just as much a prisoner here as the one they're keeping at bay. Nothing's ever felt more true.
"We're never going to leave here," he says to Jacob one night across a small campfire. It's though the thought has just occurred to him. It isn't a question really, but Jacob answers anyway.
"No," he says, eyes meeting Richard's. "And we were never going to."

People come and people go and Jacob's not always as isolated as he is wont to be in later times. He mingles with the newcomers. He presents himself as a god. He brings women to his bed, takes them whichever way they will allow. He is a man who has defied time, who has been bored beyond measure. He is a man who has not a single place to go or a single thing to desire.
He is a manSome nights Richard listens from outside, listen to the women's impassioned screams and Jacobs climactic grunting. He feels himself grow hard, closes his eyes and tries to sleep

This is gob-smackingly beautiful. I love this idea of the island's constantly changing size, depending on who is there and what the season is. The idea of being all alone in this place with no one but Jacob and the smoke monster (I also like the idea that he's almost willfully making himself not remember---I would, too) is what makes this pairing so fascinating to me, so I adore that you focused on it.
Jacob's just as much a prisoner here as the one they're keeping at bay. I never really thought about that, but it's so true!

Thank you so much! I'm so pleased you liked it. I have written them briefly in the past, so I have a little experience with them, but this was fun to work with and play with. I hope my interpretation of prison worked for you. I tried to figure out a way to get these two into a situation like that in my brain and realized they kind of already in one, lol.
Anyway, thank you so much! I'm really happy to have made you happy!
