Poor Boone, having to watch Jack self-destruct with nothing he could do about it. :( I liked the flow to this - well done!

[janie_tangerine]

Thanks so much! I don't know why I'm so evil to the poor guy but I do it out of love, I swear. ;) Thanks again, glad you liked it!

Wow, I LIKE! And this coming from someone who never really gave Boone all that much thought. But you made me really enjoy him here; I love how you look at his character through the prisms of all these different people, and I especially liked the hints of Jack/Boone--not really a pairing I've ever seen, but it's definitely interesting, and that last line is so perfect and so painful.

[janie_tangerine]

Oh, WONDERFUL! Even better if you didn't give him much thought, that always makes my day. ;) J/B actually is my ship and it should show how lucky I get usually but these days it isn't around a lot. If I sold that I'm definitely happy to hear it. Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed this!

Oh, wow. This is such a sad and insightful little glimpse into the afterlife of Boone's psyche - I can absolutely see how he'd relate to all of these people in this way, how his own ambition and lack of self-confidence would echo throughout his afterlife. Boone, when he was alive, had so much unexpressed potential - potential that could and would have come through had things gone differently, I think. You've done a lovely job of bringing that out here.

Your second to last line = marry me. Really. Because that's it. *sigh* I do have a life mission though, right? ;) Thanks so much! I'm really happy that you liked this whole thing, I tried to be as fair as possible to everyone in there and I figured he'd have an opinion, 'yknow. And I always figured that the guy wouldn't exactly change in the afterlife, he was just too wired up like that. Thanks so much again! ♥

Oh, wow, this is good good good! It's also really heartbreaking. Awww, Boone.

Hmmm, his lips are looking kind of lush in your "blah" icon.

[janie_tangerine]

Oh, his lips are kinda always lush... not that I mind. *dies and sighs* Better that I change subject or this comment becomes NC17 rated. ;)

Thanks so much, I'm definitely glad you think so! And I just can't help it, y'know? I need to resuscitate him for real more often.

Even in death Boone is all about longing and self-reflection, and trying to do something. You captured that so well. He feels so restless.

He wishes Aaron wasn't born when he was born.

This was my favourite line!

Great work!

[janie_tangerine]

Thanks so much! See, I just don't think he could leave things alone. Even if for his mental sanity maybe he should.

(Wanna know something? That was my favorite too. That section actually. It was sort of good to have it out.)

Thanks again, glad you liked it!
