Claire! And they know about her Charlie! Awwww. I like how you keep up the existing relationships and chemistry between the characters. And Kate felt very Kate-like in this. Even though this is an AU, it also feels kinda canon. Am loving it.

[janie_tangerine]

Thanks so much! And ha, they know. Actually Charlie shows up next chapter. ;) Thanks so much, glad you're liking it so far! And thanks re Kate. I was kinda worried about here here. ♥

I'm so glad to see Claire and that in your fic Charlie is still around. It's not going to be easy for them to meet again, but there's hope and hope in those days must have been quite a rare thing to find. It's a happy-moment. I also loved, in an entirely different way, how Sawyer just can't talk about Clementine, how raw that wound still is, even after all those years. It was a nice touch that he'd keep the details of what happened to his girl from Claire. She just got that glimmer of hope about Charlie, she doesn't need to be reminded of how fragile life is and of the terrible things that happen to babies during tough times.

I wish Sawyer and Kate had an arrangement like this on the show, one when they're not in for the long run, but they still know each other as well as their own limits when it comes to intimacy.

I can't wait to see who they'll meet in Nebraska!

[janie_tangerine]

Ha, you'll see who they're gonna meet in a short while I think. ;)

You know, I wish Sawyer and Kate had that arrangement, too. I felt like I owed to show it because Kate is important to him on the show, but I'd really want their relationship to be more like this and not like it's there.

Glad you liked Claire here! If canon doesn't give me any hope regarding the character, I might as well have it here. And yeah, I also guess it was a rare thing to find but that's exactly why I just let her have it here. I just can't picture Sawyer as someone who could tell Claire about what happened with his daughter (poor guy, I did give him a mean story) or that who would manage to definitely deal with it any time in his life so it's really freat to hear it worked here. Thank you so much, glad you liked it! ♥

I've settled on reading it on study breaks, so I must thank you for the diversion...

So, no real Jack/Kate here? I think it is a wise choice, considering how it would affect the Jack/Sawyer dynamics (unless you plan on changing that in the future). Also, at the present moment I am very glad you showed to particular attachment between her and Sawyer. We see enough of it at the show as it is...

[janie_tangerine]

Ha, then I'm really glad to provide it!

Nope, no triangle here. I'm going Jack/Sawyer all the way here and I have enough of the triangle as it is on the show. I thought I owed that bit of UST to their canon dynamics but then again I'm done with Kate. ;) And I can buy them when there's no particular attachment (well, I don't like Jack/Kate and Sawyer/Kate equally but I can see the second one if it's very no-strings-attached). Thanks, glad you liked it!

So it’s fine when he comes but that’s it.”

Oh man, I read that in exactly the wrong context!! LOL

guess it wouldn’t be my place to tell you, but if you stick long enough he will himself.

Oh! This sounds intriguing.

[janie_tangerine]

OMG LOL then again you'd have your reasons.... but he still isn't coming that way! ;) ;)

[alemyrddin]

ooh nice! Claire with Aaron and Kate - that's a trio that I like. If you cut Claire out, it's just wrong.
Now, maybe they will meet Charlie again and tell him where to find Claire... I want a happy ending!

Also, while this Kate is not a threat and I can like her, I love how in-character is the fact that she lies to Sawyer anyway, for no reason at all.
While Jack tells him right away.

I bet I know why Jack couldn't sleep... imagining Sawyer with her could do that! ;)

[janie_tangerine]

See, if Claire is in I'm fine with it. I figured I would have had to deal with Kate sooner or later but having her and Claire in the same place solved me a lot of trouble and it wasn't that far from canon anyway so I went for it. Yep, as you've seen they did meet Charlie... if I write more in this setting I'll address that for sure, here I ended up with too much stuff on my hands to include that, too.

Ha, no, this Kate isn't threatening! That's the way I like her too. ;) But it wouldn't be Kate if she didn't lie, right?

(Yep, exactly that. He just hadn't realized it yet. ;) )
