Wooo! Shiny new fic!

I love the grasp you have on Kate's character here, how she's doing everything her way and is quite ruthless about it and even if it comes to something as big as telling the truth, it has to happen on her terms.

He’ll never know how good he almost had it.

This is the heart of Jack/Kate and why they haven't worked it out so far. Jack doesn't know when he's close to having her and she can't possibly tell him.

Jack doesn't get it of course. It's lovely to have Kate realize what an enigma she is to people and how she's still not able to break free of it.

I liked this a lot.

It's new. Not sure about how shiny it is.

You know the two of them are never in the right place emotionally at the same time, and I was trying to work with that. I've always wanted to try.

I'm glad you liked it! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

You have a Jate icon? That surprises me. And then kind of not.

I love the contrast between those two episodes -- so much happens between them, and yet I'm not sure what happened in her head. So this was my attempt.

I'm glad you liked this! Thanks for reading!

This is great!! The "Three days ago..." quote is my one of my favourites and I've always kind of wondered what Jack and Kate were thinking during that scene. You filled in the blanks for me :)

Also - "If it were television she’s fairly sure this is where the dramatic music comes in, something deep and instrumental."

Hehe! Loved that line :D

[slybrunette]

I love that scene as well, and after reading some fics coming out of this challenge I got inspired to write something off of an actual scene from the show. Particularly this.

As for that line, I like taking shots at tv, and the way they overdramatize things. And I can't see Kate being big on tv.

I'm glad you liked this! Thanks for reading!

Now that I think about it she was kinda being uncharacteristically generous with that truth thing. Maybe she really needed to tell someone and get it off her chest. Great fic!

[slybrunette]

As much as I love that scene I don't understand how it fits in with her character. So you know me, I make myself understand.

I'm glad you liked this! Thanks for reading!

Very interesting! I liked the look at Kate's lies and especially at the complicated relationship between Kate and her mother.

She sits by the shore, on this island, this island that has shown itself as dangerous, as the anti-paradise, and with Jack next to her she realizes she hasn’t felt this safe since Tom.

I liked that contrast, and I have to admit that it made the Jater in me happy, too.

_noa already quoted my favorite line, though. ;)

Loved the last line, too. As is usually the case with your fics -- you have great ending lines. :) Anyway, it makes me sad, but it's such a perfect ending to this fic.

(Also, I've been listening to "Iris" a lot over the past week... not sure if that's the source of the title or not, though.)

Tom and Jack are very alike to me. I know mysticxf has drawn similiar conclusions on that, and she always gets me thinking.

That last line was in my head all night last night. I thought of it right before falling asleep and couldn't remember it when I got up. Thank goodness something triggered it when I sat down to write.

(It is the source. As of late, all my titles are song lyrics. And that one is so...Jate)

I'm glad you liked this! Thanks for reading!
