This was an interesting profile on Juliet. It is clear you understood her from the beginning. I admit to not connecting to her at first due to disliking the story arc she was introduced into. I was intrigued by her attitude in the S3 finale when she lied about going back for the guns with Sawyer. I fell in love with her in the S4 finale when she told Jack off for running into the jungle after his operation and telling Daniel she would be the last to leave. Writing my fist Juliet series post-S4 helped me figure out why she had always been awesome, something you clearly knew all along!

My primary ship was Juliet/whoever makes her happy...

Agreed! In your recs she is paired with almost everyone, and they all have the potential to make her happy. I see there is no Ben/Juliet, my least favourite Lost pairing on all time!

Thanks for the rec. Maybe more than any other character I felt compelled to flesh out Juliet's version of events. I'm proud Homeward Bound was my last Lost fic.

Awwwww, thanks so much for the recs!

And this was a great meditation on Juliet's character ... especially the ways in which she developed throughout the course of the show, and how relatable she was as a character. I like that she was always such a layered character -- she had her moments of weakness as much as her moments of strength. Plus, clearly one of the most shippable Lost ladies, even just judging from your rec list! ;D
