Sun is not a mean person. She's basically good -- although she has a badass side to her -- and I think she is more capable of things like forgiveness and understanding that anyone else in that whole set. So I really do want to see how they handle the Jack/Sun issue, and, well, I figured I'd try my hand at it. Of course then I remembered that the only character I have a harder time writing than Sun is like...Jin. Or Locke. So yeah, not my best, but I tried.

I'm glad you liked this hun! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

That was very nice, I do think that was a confrontation begging to be written.

Quite a fallen hero, she thinks, wondering when his halo went crashing down to the ground.

This line really stood out for me while reading it. I think its fantastic.

Great work!

I was truly surprised no one had run with this yet -- pleasantly though, because then I got to write it :)

And that is why I used that line for the summary/eye catcher.

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

I've always loved reading your Sun. I think you do a great job with her, really. I've been waiting for fics on the Jack/Sun confrontation, and this is a lovely first. You really have captured Sun's conflict well - her pain and anger and then, her forgiveness. Your description of Jack was also spot on - chilling and disturbing but very right.

I think I'm better when it's her and Kate. I understand their dynamic better than her and anyone else's. But I'm glad you think I did a good job here. I was surprised that there weren't any fics dealing with Jack/Sun, because it is an opportunity to really mess with those two, but I'm just as happy to write as to read.

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

that was fascinating, really! I could see it all, Sun touring the others, her feelings for Jack changing when she sees how much a mess he's now and that he's break if she put some more judgment on him.

here is a part i love to an insane degree

“How can you say that?” His voice is harsh against the silence of the room. She thought there would be more noise, someone stomping around in the apartment above, doors opening and closing, the hum of the air conditioner. There’s nothing but emptiness.

I don't know if you are familiar with painting and such, but that was so very similar in my eyes to working the negative space, to highlight the subject. I found the image very powerful :)

Sometimes, in situations where the other person is in a bad place, you learn to put your feelings aside in order to try to help. She's not over it, not by any means, but she's trying for the greater good.

I know very little about painting, but when you put it like that it makes a lot of sense actually. I'm glad you liked the imagery, I was definitely trying there.

I'm thrilled that you liked this! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

This was great. My favourite part was Sun and Kate connecting but not really over their fatherless (and motherless) children. I also loved the scene with Jack. I could hear Sun's clipped voice so well here.

Sun and Kate, and their dynamic post-island, is something I really want to explore but haven't really yet. I think that leaked into this a bit.

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