(too long, can be found at my journal here. below is an excerpt)

(This is before)

Things that go as planned:

Oceanic Flight 815 lands safely in LAX, right on schedule.

They check into their hotel, something oversized and full of huge windows. The word luxury serves as an understatement here, but it’s all she’s really known for far too long.

Jin has some secret meeting in the morning, one that he’s rather vague about, and she smiles and kisses him goodbye.

Things that don’t go as planned:

She takes the money she stashed away from her failed exit strategy and uses some of it to buy a last minute plane ticket.

“Where to, miss?”

“Where is the first open flight going to?”

“New York City.”

Sun nods, repeats, “New York City.”

Her cell phone winds up in the nearest garbage receptacle, traded in for a cheap pay-as-you-go one, and she pays for everything in cash. This is her getaway.

Aww KC! You should so write this show more often because it sure sounds like you've got it down to a T! ;) Of course Ronon would be all deadpan about it, and Teyla thanking him for sharing it, and that first paragraph about Rodney's excitement over no mission. It's just all so perfect!
The last section is beautiful too. The switch to such a somber mood felt very natural and aww that last line!!
i ♥ this!

Say, thanks! :) This was really fun and natural to write actually. Yay for SGA and being stress-free! Thanks for reading.

Too long for a comment. Here's an excerpt ( ... )

Breathe In, LOST, Claire/Desmond, breathe missy_useless September 5 2009, 08:19:19 UTC

Her fingers curl into fists and pound against his chest, small and weak and child-like. He doesn't grab her wrists, doesn't try to stop her. Her eyes are bluer than he remembers. His name tumbles from her lips - again and again - mixes with “Who are you people?” and “What's happening to me?” and “Where is my baby?” Her voice is quiet now, hoarse from hours of screaming. (“Desmond,” she repeats, sobs, sinks against him.)

His arm circles around her waist, pulls her closer. He sees them out of the corner of his eye: Charlie pleads, “Mum,” and Penny bends down to take him in her arms, carries him back to the boat; he doesn't meet her eyes. Claire trembles. “It's all right,” he tells her, lips on her temple. “You're all right.” (I promise.)

I came back throbs against his throat, lies on his tongue like acid and delayed guilt and salt water. He almost says it (almost, “I came back for you.”) as if he hadn't let her down - them, he doesn't dare to think (three-year-long happiness on a boat: he doesn't see a drowning man anymore when he ( ... )

Thank you, Lenina. Your comment makes me feel so much better about this ficlet (which is quite pointless, really ;)). Thank you, you are - as always - way too kind. *hugs*

Love this scenario. Beautifully written too. It makes sense he'd have some guilt about her never getting off like he predicted she would. Really lovely.

Thank you so much! I had fun writing this little piece, and characterization is always a concern so I'm glad it worked. I really appreciate the comment :)
