Oh My God. How is that you know exactly how to push every freaking button you could? *flails* Oh wow. This was just so good and I feel so completely spoiled it's not even funny.

First of all, I love your head. How did you manage to pull all my favorite people together I don't know but you did and it was just excellent. Guild ridden Desmond after S4 is just perfect and I soo want that to be canon. *sigh* But apart from that, the way you gave sense to his actions was just perfect. Especially the googling when Penny isn't there.

The young man is pouting - brooding, perhaps - and refusing to look into the camera. He stares out the ornate window of an extravagant building instead: he looks like some kind of male model, features striking and elegant.

Uhm, yes, right. Say goodbye to my coherence when I imagined that. Hoooweeever. He's just so IC, I just can see him feeling guilty not only over Charlie but over each one of them. The scene with Boone's mother was great, he'd have totally done that and

He can't imagine him here. It doesn't

That's just so cute... well, at the end :) The beginning is full of angst, and the idea of Desmond looking up the people from the flight is a little creepy, but I love the descriptions of the photo's he finds.

Thanks for writing this! I sooo cannot deal with the "As long as I've got Penny I don't give a damn about anyone else" Desmond at the end of S4. What the hell are those braindead writers thinking? Well, at least Desmond is in character here in your fic. I think he would torture himself with guilt too. And your Sayid voice was perfect.

Hehe. I really love Boone/Charlie as afterlife boyfriends. Too cute. I could pinch them. I especially loved the touch that Boone is the boss of Charlie because he has been dead longer. I always love the idea that Boone gains high status in the afterlife. He may have been the kid on the island, but he is the daddy of the dead!

Great fic! I loved the Sayid conversation and Boone/Charlie reveal. What a lovely gift for Janie.
