Excellent story and totally believable (ha, I knew the blonde teacher was Sarah!). A great view on a mostly ignored character. And Walt's bizarre powers are there too!

It makes me look Michael and Walt with other eyes.

[slybrunette]

The story had to have someone from another character's past or else it wouldn't be Lost you know. Hidden connections and all that jazz.

Thing is I know people don't like Michael but I wish people would at least write him. Very few people do. Especially after LTDA.

Thanks for reading!

Wow. I like the scene change thing, it makes it easier to swallow a story taking place over a long time span. Michael is not my favorite character by far, but I still love the way you wrote him here.

[slybrunette]

Aw, thanks! Isn't Michael like your least favorite?

[bebitched]

One of them.

Ha *goes back and reads what I just wrote* Totally not on purpose.

[slybrunette]

I didn't get that joke for a straight minute. I feel stupid.

Fantastic insight into Michael, life after the island. I almost passed this one and I'm so glad I stopped to read. Well done!

[slybrunette]

Thank you! I'm thrilled you decided to give it a chance.

Wow, this was so brilliant. There's this sad, terrible edge to it as well, Michael might have got away from the island but everything he did is still right there with him.

I think this is the first ever fic I've read that had Michael as the main character actually it might be the first ever fic I've read that had Michael in it.

This is really great and usually I don't like futurefics, and I didn't particularly like the character of Michael even before he killed Ana and Libby, so the fact that you made me like this so much is just 'wow'.

All the details were so spot on as well, the part with the deer, Kate's end and Sarah as Walt's teacher. I just loved it. And okay I'm totally going to stop now before I write an essay and this just descends into squeeage. :)

[slybrunette]

Aw, thanks! I worked really hard on this one, and I was kind of worried about it's lack of appeal. I mean, it's Michael, next to no one likes him. I'm glad I managed to make it interesting.

And I don't mind essays, I like the long feedback.

Oh - this was wonderful to read! Michael is so rarely written about, but you definitely did him justice here. (And Walt, too. You have his voice down just perfectly.) I adored the fact that Walt's teacher was Sarah. I didn't see it coming, and the twist was perfectly Lost-ish.

Very well done, you should be proud!

[slybrunette]

Thanks! That really means a lot to me that you thought it was done well. And I had to have at least one person from another character's past show up here. That whole hidden connections is one of the things I love about Lost.
