Why did they have to take Shannon away from us, why? It's sad because I can't see her ever growing out of her shell, ever wanting to rid herself of the armor she wears at all times. She wasn't self destructive like others on the island, instead, she allowed layers and layers of stone to grow on her skin. Sorry, I'm getting carried away here. I love it when a story makes me think about a certain character under a new light.
This section gives me goosebumps every time I read it. If Shannon were honest, she'd like to jump into that casket with him. They would lower them down into the ground together, one dead and one lifeless. She would drown in the earth, and can think of nothing she'd like more.

wouldn't that have been a great growth story on the island, though? they're focused on sawyer's growth, but i think shannon had a ways to go too. it could have been really interesting.
i'm so glad you liked this sweetie - thanks for reading! :-)
*hands you tissues* sorry, babe! to quote prince, "i never meant to cause you any sorrow, i never meant to cause you any pain".
at least in my jack/alex fics, i didn't kill him off... i just made him kind of insane. i blame the finale - broken!jack is just too hard to resist! but i will put him back together eventually. such is the magic of fic.
Wow. I like how you've written Shannon as observing herself from a distance, her living death juxtaposed against Jack's real death. Love the final line: so graphic, I can see it clear and sharp.

Did you just kill my Jack?
You didn't...you...oh, you did.
And then you had Shannon be utterly and completely heartbreaking and sad and broken and oh man...
If you need me, I will be off in the corner sobbing.
