Weeeelll... I had her taking one pill, not becoming an addict! Not yet though ;)

And btw that was more or less the concept of that twisted Sawyer/Kate I was sure I could do until 4x10 sent me back to square one... because it would've worked if there weren't promises and stuff hanging between *sighs*.

I needed to have Hurley out of the hole. And never to get Sun into it, for that matter.

Poor Sayid. Poor, poor Sayid.

After the finale I have more than a plan to make up to him. *cuddles her poor man*

Thank you so much! Maybe I do but they're hard, damnit! Though I'll admit that Jack's one at the first draft was 99 words. If only they all came like that ;) ♥

That's a way of thinking about it! At this point I'll see what happens tomorrow because at this point I could do with some specifics regarding how they leave and then I'll blatantly ignore that ;) ♥

I loved this. So sad and disturbing, but it definitely works for this contingent of the O6. Sayid's section gave me a shiver, and Kate's was just...wow. I'm choosing to believe they can see people who aren't dead, too ;)

Thank you! It was way more disturbing than the usual bunnies I get but well, when I tried to channel the Sayid/Nadia fluff it didn't want to cooperate ;) glad that you liked the Sayid section which was my very personal favorite, and of course glad that you liked Kate!

I'm with you on that, I think ;)

Excellent! You've figured out the secret of Lost, dear ... the entire band of characters is flying on Oxy. That explains a helluva lot, actually.

This was fantastic, loved the way you wove all of them together, not just with the drug use, but the visions and confusion and tragedy. Brilliant. For a short piece, this had a lot of punch. Kudos. : )

My favorite line:

Sayid runs for a restroom, takes the small package out of his pocket; his hands shaking, he swallows three pills.Odd choice of favorite lines, I suppose ... but to me Sayid, out of all of them, is the strongest, the least likely to fall - and this shows so wonderfully how easy it is, even for a strong person, to take that plunge. Happens in the blink of an eye, out of the blue and into the black, and there's no going back ( ... )

LOL girl we really have connecting brains! Poor Dan, his intentions are always good ♥.

Wow. Yeah. Makes sense. *plans to explain that they found Oxy in the first days of the crash and everyone has used it up to now*

Thank you so much, I'm really so glad that you liked it! And well, always for the brains colliding issue, the Sayid part is actually my favorite of the whole bunch. Not that it's because I've got a ridiculous Sayid crush but well, yeah, that's my favorite, too. And that's exactly what I was trying to do ;)

I'm pretty much seconding and thirding everything everyone has said, this surely is a magnificently written little piece! I loved Kate's bit. :)

Thank you so much, I'm really so glad you liked it! And that you liked Kate since it's not everyday I go and write her ;)

I like this a lot, despite the creepy feeling that it's all Oxycodone's fault, here's hoping I never get prescribed that or else the doctor may think I've gone mad!! :)

Seeing the results on those four, I'd say Oxy should be banned from prescription altogether ;) Thank you so much, I'm really glad you liked it! ♥
