Oh, my first thought is, you do this kind of bitter, hidden desire and jealousy so well. Gah, as much as we love happy!Sawyer, this self-defeating course of action seems so much like him.

My second thought is: Jealous!Sawyer -- isis2015 will love this! ;)

[elise_509]

Hee, lol! Amanda would love Jealous!Sawyer, you're right. It's right up her alley. ;) I'll have to see if she read this as I scroll down through the comments.

I kind of love writing Sawyer as unrequitedly in love with Jack, don't know why. Maybe because I've done the whole unrequited thing enough times in my life that I'm simpatico with the feeling. I'm glad that you liked this and thought I did it well, that's so nice of you to say. *hugs*

[hopelessfangirl]

Mmm, nice. I love seeing Jack/Sawyer being one-sided on Sawyer's part, because jealous!Sawyer is awesome. I love this!

[elise_509]

jealous!sawyer is fun, isn't he? I have a good time writing him and I'm thrilled that you liked him. thanks for reading and commenting!

[alemyrddin]

he’ll keep pretending until there’s nothing and no one left between him and Jack. Then maybe Jack will stop and finally ask why.

Oh, this was soo good! I mean, I'm sorry for Sawyer, and I can't help feeling he's right - his massage would be better for Jack - but the jealousy and the sexual attraction is just so vivid...
I loved it, especially the description of Juliet's and Sawyer's massages to Jack.

Thank you so much!!

I'm so happy that you liked my offering to you, sweetie! I wanted to write something more sexy for you, but I wrote a Jack/Kate massage piece once I think I exhausted all my massage fic ability! Oh noes! I'm glad that you enjoyed this despite the lack of actual J/S massaging, and that you liked Sawyer's jealousy and the description of how Juliet handles Jack compared to how Sawyer wants to.

*hugs hard* thanks again!

[elise_509]

Sawyer ending up with the ladies who go for Jack first, and then turn to him, seems to be such a pattern on the show (esp. with where S5 is heading with Juliet and Sawyer, I'm sure!) that it's easy to read Sawyer's jealousy issues with Jack in a slashy way, I feel. I'm glad you liked that and felt that I made that work for you, that's great to hear. Thank you so much for your thoughtful and kind words, dear! They mean the world to me. *hugs*

I tried to reply to this earlier but my 'net went down and it ate my comment! :-(

It's delicious! I adore the OH YEAH factor of Sawyer being jealous; love that Juliet can't massage Jack to save her life (or maybe Jack won't let her relax him); and mmmm to Sawyer's fantasies! Gorgeous! *hugs*

[elise_509]

Aw, damn internet. I hate it when it doesn't cooperate. Thanks for coming back and commenting again! *hugs*

I love jealous!Sawyer so I'm glad that you enjoyed that too! :) I don't think Jack being massaged is something that would ever work (except maybe in his thailand period?) because I just don't think the guy can relax. And I don't imagine Juliet would have the right touch for it either. I think Sawyer'd be much better, don't you? ;)

*glomps* thanks for reading and commenting!

[haldoor]

Of course I'd come back! I had to let you know how much I liked this!

Oh, Sawyer'd definitely have a better touch than Juliet, I reckon, but yes, you're probably right that he wouldn't relax easily at all, EVER.

*huggles* Love your stories; it's no hardship!
