this was brillant, i really hope you write more even if its just more of the road tripping adventures of richard, miles and jim but I would love more in bon temps, layfette is great saying he can't compete with epic jacob love, lol, and i was half expecting pam or eric to be hey i met you 100 years ago to richard, i love jim knowing everyone too, so great!

Thanks! I might one day write a follow-up where Miles and Sookie team up (Sookie as vetoed, so I focused on other people). But Miles/Sawyer and Miles/Richard are two of my favorite duos on the whole show, so it was super fun to combine them into a threesome of BFFs.

I really was THIS close to putting in a whole plotline about how Jacob had sent Richard to recruit Pam to the island back in 1900 or something, but Pam was turned the night before she was to go... or something like that. But I got scared that maybe the coincidence would be too unlikely? I don't know.

The Jacob/Richard/MIB love triangle was about a thousand times more epic than the Jack/Kate/Sawyer/Juliet thing ever hoped to be. Oh my god. Lafayette sees it, too. ;)

YESSS. THIS? THIS RIGHT HERE? BRILLIANT!

Being a fan of both shows (and the Sookie books), this is pretty much the most perfect fic ever. The 3 LOST boys (who, btw, are the best bromace EVER) fit so well into the True Blood world that it's a little creepy, lol. :P

And of course <3 MILES <3 is always my favorite and you write him so so well. I literally went "oh shiiiiit!" when I figured out he was hearing the vamps! So cool.

The return of Richard mother-fucking Alpert was the besssst. Him coming to Miles' resuce and getting his mojo back was just too good. Richard/Miles is my fave ship ever, I read flirting where there maybe is none, but their banter and concern for each other here was so sweet. They need to kick Jim out of the trailer after all this! :P

Yay! We're like the same person. Sawyer/Miles/Richard is the best bromance ever, and Richard/Miles is totally my OTP. My recipient vetoed them as a romantic pairing, which is why they're just friends here (honestly, focusing on Sawyer was the only way I could write them in the same fic without making them in love).

Glad you liked the return of badass Richard (that scene where he shoots Keamy so he doesn't kill Sayid? Humina!). I was sad when he got all bumbly and scared, so I wanted him to get his mojo back here. Miles and Sawyer are among my favorite characters ever, and it was super fun writing them. And I've been bizarrely shipping Sawyer/Tara ever since the third episode of True Blood. The snark! It would be epic. They're both broken in similar ways.

So happy you enjoyed this! <3

Hahahaha, seriously Richard/Miles is pretty much canon as far as I'm concerned. The LOVE, it is EPIC. XD They're my fave ever to write, I wish more people were into them. At least we have each other to carry the Richard/Miles torch. ;)

I was really sad to see him running around the jungle all scared, but it was cool to see another side of the King of Stoicism. And he made up for it by splitting with the group to go get the C4 (with MILES of course). I'm just so happy that Richard and Miles, who are such side-characters, got the happy ending. :DD

Oh, nicely done! What a great crossover. You got them all down so well and I love the friendships going on here! Richard & Jim getting all protective towards Miles when Eric has him against the wall; Miles getting Jessica & Hoyt back together; naked Sam and flirty Lafayette! Awesome!

[aurilly]

Thanks so much! I have rarely had as much fun writing a fic as I did this one. Bromances are my favorites, and the True Blood people were way too much fun to write. Thanks so much for reading. :)

Oh love love love loved it. Definitely would like to see more eric vs richard action. Great job!

[aurilly]

Thank you! They are both so delicious, aren't they? ;)
