the descriptions were so vivid for this chapter! I could imagine and clearly picture the black from the smoke on Juliet, the smear Jack would have left, the way her foot lay too far outward because her ankle is broken! (can't wait to find out what that's about!) all of it was just so great, but this
Jack understood what had felt so strange, almost ludicrous, about the idea of carrying Juliet through the jungle, or carrying her anywhere else, for that matter: he had never imagined the possibility that she would be in a position to need it.
Yay! Thank you! That was one of my writer's block issues--trying to describe everything so it didn't come across as a dry catalogue of injuries: Poor Juliet is pretty banged up.
I'm glad you liked that line, too: Juliet is tough and I think that Jack actually did think of her that way on the show-- even if he couldn't trust her at first in other ways, her toughness and her being able to handle stuff was something which he could always rely on. It's one of the things that made me love this 'ship--that he always respected her strength and autonomy, in contrast to some other 'ships which shall remain nameless... ;)
Man, every aspect of this story has me hooked -- whether it's an action-packed chapter or something quieter and more transitionary like this one, you always manage to maintain this level of tension that keeps me hooked and wondering what's going to happen next. (Eeek, Juliet! And I'm still worried about Daniel. ;P)
Plus, this fic continues to have one of the best, most consistent Charlotte characterization I think I've ever read -- I love how in one chapter you manage to blend how kick-ass and practical she is with the fact she sort of retains that sarcasm even in tough spots and still remind the reader of the fact that she's very, very human with that moment with Juliet and mentioning Dan.
Basically, this was fantastic like all the rest before it, and I can't wait to read the next part! :D
Oh, thank you so much! I can't tell you how happy what you said about Charlotte makes me: when I started this fic, Charlotte was the character I was most worried about because I felt like I had the least "grip" on her out of the main four--both in terms of her mannerisms and her motivations.
I'm really glad I did decide to write her, though, because I feel like she has perhaps the most room for expansion/exploration out of all four of them, being the least developed by the show itself. And I kind of like bringing her out of the box they put her in by making her interact with some of the characters with whom she never got many scenes, like Jack and Juliet.
