I think I finally get a day off from both jobs tomorrow - first one since Thanksgiving day - and the very first thing I am going to do is re-read Ch. 5 and first time read Ch. 6 & 7. I cannot wait...really need this, even though I know it will be angst all the way. Loving you for your accomplishment with the Smoky Verse and for your general glowing personality!!! *exhausted hugs and an air smooch*
OH, I'm so glad you're finally getting a rest! Chaps. 5, 6, and 7 are a bit difficult, but short, and after that it gets kinda freaky/interesting...very Lost-like. I think you'll like what's coming next. So rest up and read when you're fresh, and more will be on the way, probably by Sunday. And there's more smut on the way, too, not that you're into that. ;)
*rubs your neck and offers you wine and chocolate*
Eeep! Why do things keep getting more and more dire! *clutches you*
I fucking hate Margo, so nice job on that!! Every three seconds it's "come back with me" like she thinks she's going to brainwash him if she says it enough times :\
But I'm worried! Is Sawyer lost in the woods? Did you ever read that freaky ass Stephen King book with the kid in the woods and the baseball and the thing following her?? Or am I just unnaturally freaked by lost-in-the-woods plotlines because of it? :)
It'll be okay. Jack will find him, right? Or at least be there to reunite with him when he re-emerges however long as a Grizzly Adams type character. Right?

The Girl who Loved Tom Gordon. I doubt this reassures you to know that I am very familiar with that book. ;)
Jack will not find him. And that's all I can say. If this makes my muse Kristin, I will go get my Kristin voodoo doll and stick a black pin in her brain.
I deleted my old journal while I was setting up my new one. Now I think I'm keeping both, one for casual friends and ones who can take it when I act like myself, and don't, like, defriend me for it or anything. You're welcome to be on either one. :)
You're back *clings* I had a small heart attack because I don't have your email address and had you still been deleted tomorrow, most of your friends would be emailing you saying, "There's some strange person named Rawiyaparand leaving panicked 'Where's Allie?' posts in my journal."
But you're back!
I want to be on the one where you don't censor yourself. And don't ever censor yourself. It's not worth it. :)
Now I can reread this chapter and comment like I was going to!
I really love the juxtaposition here, seeing what both of them are doing without each other and how the breakup has affected them.
Jack waiting is such a huge thing and it didn't really hit me until he explained it to Margo. Jack had pushed Sawyer away but Sawyer had never given up on him, he'd just waited until Jack was ready to return, so I absolutely love that Jack is now giving him that same chance in return, putting the ball in his court and just waiting, willing to give it as long as it takes. And I think what I really love about that is that Sawyer has taught him this lesson, that Sawyer's taught him something worthwhile about how relationships work. I just wish that Sawyer could see that
( ... )
I was just looking back at this chapter and I can't believe I neglected to thank you for this feedback! It was so wonderful and well-thought-out, as usual. I like what you said about Sawyer and the bear, and I DO see your point -- that he'd really turned his pain and rage inward and the bear made him kind of snap out of that. And yes, realizing that killing the one he really wants to kill -- Margo -- would do more harm than good is progress from the old revenge-seeking, consequences-be-damned Sawyer. He realized that getting revenge in that way would hurt Jack, and the fact that he put Jack before his primal instinct to seek revenge shows that he's grown...because of Jack.
Oh, and I wanted to let you know that I saw you've posted new fic (yay!) and I've bookmarked it, because I'm in a hotel room with my family and I can't read slash until 2007! WHAAAA! But I'll be back home on New Year's day and I know I'll be ringing in the new year by happily catching up on what I missed. ♥

*cuddles* Cling to fate, and so will Sawyer.
