Wow, that was... hum. I haven't got words to describe it. So powerful, I loved every single word of every single drabble. Sawyer's, Charlie's, Boone's, Shannon's and Sayid's are all my favorites, but I guess that's because I like them more than I like the other characters. And this He’s sixteen, his shirt has a peace symbol on it, he’s tired, Sabrina is outside her room telling him that going to marches is something that a well-adjusted person doesn’t do and it aches. was like the most moving sentence EVER.

Oh wow now you're flattering me. I think I totally fail at drabbles so now I'm all blushing all the way. And more or less we've got the same favorites, though the Shannon one was the one that I liked better. I'm really so glad you picked that sentence out of all this, it came like that and I'm insanely happy with it. Thank you so much for the awesome feedback, glad you liked this!

OMG, this is beautiful. You've really got the sadness of every situation down - I must say I was particularly impressed by your Danielle voice! But it really felt like I was authentically in each character's head (not something that's easy to accomplish) - Charlie's non-ambivalence, Jack's rage, everything that goes wrong for Sayid... brilliant work.

Thank you so much! Well, it was my first Danielle. I guess I learned the lesson from the best around ;) I'm really so happy it worked, drabbles are something that clash with my wordy self and I think I fail with them, so that's totally awesome to hear. I'm really so glad you liked it, thank you so much again!

This was great; very crisp. My favouritea were the Danielle and Boone ones. I like how Danielle treated Robert's sickness with such force. Did she overreact? Who knows? Not everyone can be calm like Sayid in that situation, especially when you are protecting your baby. Boone's made me realize how the guns corrupted everyone else but he eventually resisted. It wasn't him. It wasn't Charlie either but he had too. Same with Michael, same with Juliet, same with everyone but Ana and Sayid who were trained to do this but then, as you noted for Sayid, their training was no good for them in the end. The Shannon section shocked me because I had forgotten how it all arose and how so many times she wanted a gun.

I've had a story in mind to write for a while about where Juliet and possibility Jack learned to use a gun. Maybe after I write the Charlie fanon ones, I'll set my attention back to that.

Thank you! I sincerely don't know where it came from and why did it want me to become a masochist and drabble it, but if that was good even better ;) maybe she overreacted, maybe she didn't, maybe Robert pulled a very good Minkowski on her. Who knows, poor woman. And no, not everyone has a Sayid patience!

See? He was that good. One day I'll write a fic concerning his going to marches, erm. *nods and sighs* I was also going to do Ana but it didn't want to come together and I ditched it. The Shannon section is one of the ones that came easier. Mh, seems like in that episode she was more or less on the same page as I was ;)

Oh that'd be a great bunny! If you get back on that I'll love to read it. Thank you so much again! ♥

Wow. Incredible. My favorite sections were Danielle's, Sawyer's, and Shannon's. I loved it all, but those particularly pulled at me.

[janie_tangerine]

Thank you so much! I usually am not comfortable around drabbles so it's great to know they worked. I think that Shannon is my favorite, too ;) great to hear that you liked it, thanks again!

Wow...these are terrific! What a great concept. I loved the way you flashed between all those different shootings. There have been some very cold blooded murders on the show, but I think the ones that you've collected here are more like crimes of passion, drenched in purpose and emotion.

My favourites were Danielles and Shannons. Danielles was especially great since it flashed back to a moment thats only ever been referenced, never seen. In Shannons my heart broke over the image of little Boone in hippy t-shirt after a march that his mother disapproved of. Awww! I also loved the line in Michael's that shooting himself in the arm hurts less than what he did to Ana and Libby.

Keep em coming, girl! I'm loving your work.

[janie_tangerine]

Wow, thank you so much! I really thought that I was never going to pull it off when I had the idea so now I'm all squeeing, damn fine way to start the day! These were the ones that came into my head sooner (I only ditched a section which was for Ana but that didn't want to come together) and anyway cold blooded doesn't interest me as much as emotional! ;)

Those two are my favorites, too. The Danielle one was really interesting to do and I had wanted to do something for her for a while, but erm, Shannon has to be my favorite, too. I probably am too fond of the hippie t-shirt for my own good.

Thank you so much, you totally flatter me! ♥
