Wonderful Sayid ficlet, hon! I love it. I especially like the line about devils and dust at the end and of course the sad irony of the whole situation. Great job capturing Sayid at his worst moment. Thanks so much!

[janie_tangerine]

Very much glad to comply, glad that you liked it! ♥ I kinda had wanted it to use that title for Sayid for months so I just went for it, but I thought it just fit a lot. Thanks so much!

These are great gen ficlets, Janie! Very in-character and true, and I enjoyed reading all of them (though my favourites are the Jack and Juliet ones, but that's probably the fault of the characters - the Sayid ficlet is great, too). Nice use of my prompt, too. Thanks for writing this! :)

[janie_tangerine]

Oh, thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear it, and of course that you liked yours. It was a good prompt. ;) Thanks again, my pleasure!

Eeee, I love mine! Well, I love all of them, but most especially mine because I wanted ANNNNNGST and you delivered so well. That first line is incredible - such a great hook!

[janie_tangerine]

Ha, I had guessed you wanted AAAANGST, so I tried my best. Good to know that I delivered! Thanks so much, very much glad that you liked them!

Ugh, all of these make me feel so sad. Jack is so lost, and pathetic and teetering on the edge of losing himself completely. I liked the detail that Christian would stay away with Corbain on. The Sayid one is even more sad because unlike Jack there is nothing left for him. Good job capturing this moment. I would not have even dared get inside his head at that moment. All I see is blankness, but you went below that for the pain. The Juliet one is about overcoming her foolishness, but in hindsight I can't help wonder if she played herself for a fool with Jack and now Lafleur. In the end, I imagine she will be as screwed as Jack and Sayid were in your first two ficlets. Anyway, great insight on all these three characters.

[janie_tangerine]

Yeah, this was pretty much the angst fest, wasn't it? I'll carefully see to make the next bunch less bleak. Glad that you thought that Christian not liking Nirvana is fitting because even if I can't finish a larger Nirvana!Jack thing I hope to pull off sooner than later kind of started from there. Poor Jack is indeed completely at a loss, isn't he? And erll, I didn't dare get inside Sayid's head for good either, he has indeed seen better days. I think that in hindsight you're totally right and she played herself into a fool just fine, poor girl too. I hope she doesn't get as screwed as those other two though! Thank you, glad you liked them even with the angst overload. ♥

Oh that Juliet one. ouch. Oh I love her so and I love you for writing this. So good. And of course I approve of anything that is J/J in the tinyest bit. ♥

[janie_tangerine]

Thanks so much! ♥ And yours is coming soon btw. ;)

[neated]

You're welcome. Weee, I'm excited. ♥
