I wasn’t always like this. But no one knows that now...now that he’s,” her voice breaks there, but she pulls through, “now that he’s gone. And I just thought someone should know.”

This is so heartbreaking. Damn you for making me cry.

(I love the story. Thank you so much for it.)

Aw, hun, sometimes I overboard the angst. But I guess maybe it worked here?

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

She’ll count the scars later.

God, this was just so good. I love this image you've painted of Shannon as someone who is finally trying to break through all of the things she's accumulated and built-up over the years back to something real, back to being really her. It's where I like to the think the show would have taken her, if she'd only been given the chance.

Shannon had so much more maturing and growing up to do -- I just really wish that the show would've let her.

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

I would've liked to see some Jack/Shannon interaction on the show -- I think they could've been something interesting -- and I've had this idea in my head for awhile, so I'm glad it worked for you.

Thanks so much for reading and for the compliments/support. You are awesome!

Wow, this was gorgeous. The way you made their relationship develop was just perfect and your Shannon voice rings so true. I loved how Jack came across here and how you started and closed on the same note but stressing on her different attitude in all of this. The paragraph when he told her about Boone dying was a complete tearjerker while I loved the dry-harsh way she dealt with Jack in the following one. And I love how blatantly sincere she was there.

“I wasn’t always like this. But no one knows that now...now that he’s,” her voice breaks there, but she pulls through, “now that he’s gone. And I just thought someone should know.”

This was just... *sniff* I think she could and would have confided in Jack for sharing such a thing. This was a really wonderful fic and I loved every comma of it.

I did kind of bookend this, perhaps without intention. I like happy accidents like that.

I really think they could've gone somewhere interesting with these two -- and with Shannon herself -- so I'm glad you thought it worked here.

Thanks for reading and reviewing hun!

These are beautiful little moments between two people, very nice indeed. I love your characterisation of Shannon, and her reasoning for trying to tell Jack about the internship :)

[slybrunette]

Thank you! I think we all know Shannon isn't the person most people percieved her as and it just felt right to have her open up to Jack of all people.

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