Oooooh, I really like this! Miles' inner dialogue and experiences add a whole new depth to what we've already seen happen, and your writing is very atmospheric -- just the right mix of creepy and sad.
I'm convinced something like this must have happened, for Miles to have known all this about everyone such as Michael not being Kevin (if he was Dharma connected he could have known about Charlotte maybe, and he could have known about Kate, but no idea how he'd have known Michael!)
This one ended up being really interesting to write, especially since Miles is a character I used to struggle with.
I really liked this story idea. Since Miles came on the show last Season, he's been one of my favorites. I like how he knows what's going on without getting involved. It's gotta be hard knowing how to speak with the dead, you know? ;]
Thank you! I can't wait for him to get more backstory, because he is such an interesting character, but this is the first time I've been confident enough to attempt something centred on him. Glad you feel it worked anyway!
Huh, it's funny that I never thought about Daniel asking Miles to help him communicate with Charlotte. Of course he would! And that's a good observation, that Miles probably wouldn't be able to in a time when Charlotte is still alive as a child. This makes me feel sorry for both Miles and Daniel -- Miles because he sees so many people being warned but not heeding the warnings because they don't hear them, and Daniel because all he wants is to hear one of them but he can't. It sheds a new light on Miles' "gift," and the last line sums it up perfectly.
I'm looking forward to finding out what's happened to Daniel, and again bearing in mind I won't see Dead is Dead until later today so ignore me if it's already been answered, but I can totally see something like that having happened at some point. Makes me wonder what would have happened if Miles had just told Daniel anything to keep him happy, would he have believed it or would it have just made things worse? I genuinely don't think he could have talked to Charlotte here, in a time when there's a version of her still alive.
Anyway thanks for reading, I haven't attempted Miles much before so was a change for me, good to know it's working!
Oh, you did just great with Miles! I liked how he used his talents to gain information about the living. (It makes me wonder who told him about Ben's money!) My favourite part was with Mars because he would still be so bitter. Great work!
I hadn't even given the money a thought when writing this one, but you're right, I'm starting to wonder now too!
Glad to hear that you liked this one as you may remember I used to struggle with Miles (I still think I'll feel a bit more confident when we have more backstory on him and I have more to work with).

Mars was probably one of my favourites to write.
