Very interesting concept, which makes for a bleak Christmas story. I especially like the Liam and Carmen segments.

Liam was my favourite one to write! Thanks for reading, glad you liked the idea!

Thanks! I'm actually working on something else right now (an AU version of S2 imagining Michael and Walt missed the plane) and there's a Shannon-centric episode where it's really obvious Sabrina is desperate to have Shannon out of the way doing the au pair job, there's a smirk on her face as Shannon leaves which Boone doesn't notice. But anyway I won't spoil the rest of that, I loved writing Sabrina here because you're right, she must be totally feeling that way towards Shannon. I'd often thought about the reactions of the loved ones after the crash, and enjoyed writing this one!

I think a story like this could get repetitive but you did something different and creative with each one. Sad but sweet!

I was conscious at the time of writing it that it could get repetitive, but I just had to try and make sure I got something relevant to each character, and I think it worked!
Going to go and search for these other ones about the loved ones that you mentioned in your Margo and Carmen story comments!

That's so sad, but it really does bear thinking about the people outside the island and how they would handle it.

Especially the bit where Claire's mom dies because Christian isn't alive anymore. Totally never even occurred to me...
