Why is everything coming out too schmoopy or too angsty? Why don't I have a middle ground? What is wrong with me?
Don't answer those questions. :)

This is exactly the sort of fic I was hoping for!!! *dances*
You think this is too angsty? I think it's perfect; superstitions are not necessarily happy things,which reflects here, and yet I found this to be hopeful too. There's no getting around uneasy ghosts for Sawyer... at least not without help. And the learned luck rituals are complimentary to Jack's own control issues.
Pointing your shoes in opposite directions [or turning your clothes inside out] is one of my favorite folk beliefs. It's such an evocative image. Thank your mom for me -in a stealthy fashion, of course. :D
Oh, and the old man's sweater is a great touch [and I have one of those, a burgandy cardigan that I love]. That's such a cozy scene - Sawyer with his coffee and sweater, and Jack grinning - very telling of the depths of their relationship.
Thank you Lee!
*gives you a gold star*
And also: *HUGS* Do I need to beat down on anything on your behalf?

I love superstitions. I'm a little like my mother a little like Jack. I do them, even though I don't really think it works. Another big one is my mother freaks if anyone puts shoes higher than the bed. I couldn't figure out how to use that one.
But yeah I went with Sawyer because we have an abundence of old wives in the South. I like the idea of him almost afraid that anything could take his happiness away.
Great prompt my Queen. *takes star* So happy to please. And no royal beatdowns required. I'll be fine I promise.

Jack says they've already beaten fate.
Ah, Jack. If only. ;)

Sawyer needs more back story exploration. There are so many layers they could peel back.
