This was incredible. I loved the pacing, the flashes of scenes, the acknowledgment of Claire actually missing Aaron. Amazing!

[slybrunette]

Well, to be fair we haven't seen Claire so we can't tell if the show's going to ignore that (they pretty much have ignored him though, lately, but considering their Kate/Aaron storyline I don't mind), but, you know, it's likely. And regarding the pacing, I was more than a little nervous about that, so I'm glad it worked for you.

I'm happy you enjoyed this! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

I really liked this piece because it lets me know that someone else cares about the whereabouts of Claire. And where the heck are Rose and Bernard? That's another thing that's driving me crazy! Anyway, I think this great! :D

[slybrunette]

Believe me, there are a quiet a few of us who care. And as for Rose and Bernard, I hope we get some answers by the end of the season.

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

Oohh this is beautiful dear :)
I love the whole connection theme, Claire feeling like she's been there before and feeling tied to the island and them to each other. That whole last paragraph is awesome.
I ♥ it!

[slybrunette]

For some reason I read the prompt 'roots' as like a connection to something, to each other, to the island. I never realized how much it would make this more about them as individual characters, instead of the ship.

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

So I read this at work but had no time to comment. I want you to know that I love this, that you've still got it, and I love this so much for the sheer fact that you handled this relationship in a way that I love and that you fit it in the canon world of the show. You do that so well. It's beautiful and THANK YOU. Made my day, really.

[slybrunette]

I told you, sometimes being so anal about canon is a good thing. Because then these fics happen and it's not totally weird right?

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

It's never weird. ;)
