Wow. This is so beautiful. I love the simplicity of it, and how "quiet" everything is even while so much drama is going on. It's a pairing I never really considered before, but I kinda like it. Nice work!

Thank you! :)

I doubt I would have considered Mikhail/Bea on my own, but I read interviews with Andrew Divoff and April Grace and they were my inspiration. Andrew said that he played Mikhail in Enter 77 as if he and Bea were lovers, and April said that the producers told her she could imagine her own background for Bea, and she decided that Bea was an ex-nun. :) I wish I could say I'm origina, but...

Bravo! This is probably my least favorite pairing ever...and I adored this. :)

...and does this mean that the island reunited them? Because that's a beautiful thought ^.^

Erm, the plot bunny didn't hop that far. :P But if I were going to write a follow-up fic, that's probably the way it would go.

Thank you for the comment! The fact that you're not a fan of the pairing makes it even better, and I'm quite glad that you gave it a chance.

...well, then do you mind if I run with that idea? (I actually already did, I just haven't posted it XD)

Hah, I haven't copyrighted it! :P Looking forward to reading it :)

Kind of interesting... I really liked the strained (not contrived... like, tension, but more interesting) dynamic between the two of them in Enter 77, and you really built on what was there. ^__^ This would've been cool as the flashbacks in that episode if it had been centered on the two of them instead of Sayid.

Sort of like the Nikki and Paulo episode, but much less annoying. >.< If I'm making any sense at all...

Thank you! And remarkably, the Nikki and Paulo reference makes sense. A "this was their beginning and this is their end" sort of thing.
