Wow. This was briliant. I'm not one to dissect fics, I'm sure someone will do that, so I'll just leave you with that. I really loved this. You used so many characters!

Aw, thank you. Lost seriously has one of the strongest (if not the strongest) ensembles on television and it's amazing that they managed to create that with a cast that big. Every character is interesting even when they're not necessarily likable. I only kill them because I love!

This was really intriguing. The fractured style was just beautiful and so fitting for your tale.

This is amazing. The way you weaved it all together, the feeling of doom mounting slowly at first and then swallowing them all in the end. There are so many things I want to pick out: Miles, bless him, sarcastic and caught completely unaware, talking to a dead god in the jungle, Charlie teaching Hurley to play the guitar, Kate happy for one moment before having it ripped away---but the heart of this for me was Juliet and Sawyer.

That ending for them left me sobbing. I'm not even exaggerating. It was so heartbreaking and so in character. And they go together and she was laughing...and oh man, that was wrenching.

If season six can even come close to giving these characters endings as thought out and elegant as these it's going to be a glorious year. But I might need to buy some stock in Kleenex.

Brilliant, brilliant fic.

Aw, I'm sorry it upset you. Although I guess it was in a good way? Apocalypse is so much fun, though. Definitely wouldn't want these endings on tv, though. Lost is just at that point where almost any other character death would be intensely heartbreaking.

(I'm not supposed to say this, but Sawyer and Juliet's deaths were upsetting for me too! I didn't want to kill them at all! I thought at least laughing and together was a better way to go...)

Thank you so much for the lovely review.
