I really enjoyed this! My favorite line was the one about Jack being a janitor, still cleaning up messes. As many have said, it's nice seeing a Lost fic from you again, but I would agree that this year the show does feel different in some aspects. I would love for it to come back to how it's always been for S6. Wonderful work!

That line is where this entire fic came from to be honest with you. I've been trying to write a variation of this for three weeks now, and just couldn't until Thursday night when I was about to trash it from my hard drive. Thank goodness for small favors.

I really hope it goes back to what we're used to from prior seasons, and soon. Then maybe I could get back into it more.

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

Aw, this was really good! It's nice to read something with a little hope with these two, especially with what's going on.

[slybrunette]

Yeah, I've been kind of disappointed by what's happening with them on the show, so I think this was me making myself feel better lol.

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

I really enjoyed this and I really love how you've gone on from the last couple of eps and written interactions between Jack and Sawyer that I would dearly love to see on the show. I like how they've changed into one another, and how Sawyer is understanding a little of what being a leader entails when stuck on the island - no matter what time it is. I also love the last section and that small step.

[slybrunette]

I'm frustrated with them on the show. Beyond frustrated. And so maybe that's where this comes from -- maybe I'd be happier if they were on better terms. Or maybe this was just cathartic. The one thing that I do think could come out of this that's positive is that understanding between them, of just how much crap being the leader entails.

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

This was just poetic and hurty and perfect, I love it. Wish I could say more but it's rendered me to flailing and dolphin noises. Memming!

[slybrunette]

Flailing and dolphin noises are awesome enough :) I'm so glad you liked this! Thanks for reading and reviewing!
