Title: My Darling Clementine

Loved this. Never even thought about the possibility of Clementine going to the island, but reading this has made me wonder if it might happen (even kicked my muse into gear for something about the return of the O6 that I've stopped and started twice now!)

Now I'm wondering what was in the letter...

[janie_tangerine]

Thank you! Well, to be honest neither did I but I decided I wanted to write her interacting with Walt and it came out this way. And I'd love it if it did ;) and yay for the muse kicking!

Regarding the letter... I'd say use your imagination ;)

This is definitely a new take -- Clementine going to the island. Interesting thought. I love what you did and the interaction between these two. I'm a sucker for Clementine fic.

Excellent fic!

I'd kind of love it if it happened on the show. I'm pretty much sure it won't but whatever, it was interesting going with it. Thank you so much, I'm really glad you liked it!

I love how we didn't need to know what was in the letter. Sawyer's mood suggested it would be about regret and hope - two things he was not originally prepared to think about. I really like how you had him contemplate all the 'what ifs'. It sounds like by then the past was easier to confront than the future. Hurrah for the special appearance by special Walt and a 'to be continued' tone to his meeting with Clem. I really enjoyed this. Welcome back!

[janie_tangerine]

That'd be exactly it. I mean, I was trying to do things in order that you would guess what was in there without me actually explaining it. Regarding Walt, I'll admit I was wanting to write something with him for a while and so I just went with it, glad that it worked! I'm really glad you liked this, and thanks! ♥

I read this on Saturday, at work, and it got me a little teary. I'm a complete sucker for Clementine stories, especially stories like this, where you get to see the conflict from both sides. Does Sawyer have the right to interrupt Clementine's life with a letter? What if things had gone a different way? What if she's never wanted to admit, least of all to herself, how badly she wants to know about her father, to hear from him

[janie_tangerine]

Woah, now I feel completely flattered for real. And if it got you teary means I accomplished what I was aiming for here

This is clever. I like the first part, with Sawyer being haunted not only by possibilities, but by words. The second part works really well. I love that it's Walt who's exposing the lie about the survivors, even if it's only to Clementine. It feels right.

[janie_tangerine]

Thank you! I had the idea in a completely random moment and wrote it in a rush, but it made sense to me and I'm glad it makes sense overall. I found the idea of having Walt in quite interesting so hearing that it feels right is definitely great ;) thanks again!
