For some reason I love Kate (and this pairing) way more in fic than I do in canon -- probably because people like you and angela_weber are more consistent writers who don't treat the characters like plot devices. ;P ANYWAY. This is fantastic, and every section is like a beautiful, self-contained story in itself. I adore the imagery of the scar and the physical and emotional healing Kate brings to Jack; it really makes sense, for me, about a pairing I sometimes have a lot of difficulty understanding.
And this -- Later he’ll ask her to repeat the story to him over a walkie talkie, a sign that she’s safe and free and on her way home. She’ll sob through the words.
He wasn’t bleeding that time, not anywhere you could see. I've seriously never as close to a Jack/Kate 'shipper as I was during their walkie-talkie conversations. Fantastic moment.
Thank you so much! I was worried about this one because honestly this is not my ship. I had never even thought about writing J/K, but I knew how much angela_weber loved them so I had to give it a try.
The walkie scene is one of my favorites too. That's definitely one of the scenes that makes me see the appeal of the couple.:)
OH MY GOD! This is too beautiful. Oh my God. I am actually crying! This is such perfection! It is I who am not worthy of this fic! Thank you so, so much for this! This is everything I want in a J/K fic and so much more, really. Your Jack is seriously amazing--so in-character and so perfect in the way he is split between the cerebral Jack and the pathetic one, the Jack who is cognizant of the fact that this is not a healthy relationship for either of them, at least not anymore, that it doesn't make sense, and the Jack who is deeply in love and can't really care about much else. It's the core of their relationship, at least from his perspective, and the way you capture it is AMAZING.
He asked her if she had ever sewn anything before. She told him a story about curtains. Sometimes he wonders if this was a lie. He’ll never bother to ask.GUHHHH. And this is where the waterworks started, lol. I know that you don't actively ship them, and maybe that's part of why this is so brilliant--you see them so clearly and you have such a knack
( ... )
This fic is all kinds of perfect. I absolutely love it - and I don't even ship Jack/Kate. The imagery here is so beautiful, so heartbreaking, and this whole piece is so gorgeously written, so in-character. I adore your Jack voice.

Brilliant. And the section about the appendectomy scar broke my heart into a million pieces (I ship Jack/Juliet so hard ... it isn't even funny anymore ;)).
Thank you so much! You have no idea how happy it makes me that you like my Jack voice, I always worry about writing him. :D
Oh, Jack/Juliet. I loved that ship so much in season three, but then it started breaking my heart and I ended up defaulting to the S/J camp. But I like to think that scar gives Jack some angsty feelings every now and then. ;)
I've never actively shipped these two, but I've always enjoyed the mess of them. I think they're always going to be drawn together and end the end that's probably going to end up being the death of them. Possibly literally. ;)
Heh. Oddly enough, I've always liked J/J, I don't love them the way I love S/J, but back in s3 I was all over that ship. Honestly though, I'll ship Juliet with anyone if she stands next to them long enough...except Ben. *shudders*
Oh! I love this fic so much. The imagery was beautifully written and it was so very very in character. I rarely ship Jack and Kate but this is full of the elements that I do like about them, bittersweet with an undercurrent of tragedy and subtle epicness(if that makes any sense?). And the ending, with the repeating of the "just a beautiful girl", and the pain in his side, and him missing the importance just beyond his reach...Perfect.
I've never really shipped Jack/Kate either, but there's something appealing about watching the two of them together. I think it's the angst that draws me in..;)
