:((( I love this so so much. I feel the same way about Jack, I've always liked him and I give him more credit than some people do. But this take on him just felt so right, I can really see him doing it this way.

You just about killed me with happiness when they started having flashes. I've always loved this pairing, you've captured so much about why I love them and the last line is so perfect!

Also this is the hottest thing ever: He also does it because he knows that if he pushed inside her now, he probably wouldn’t last long enough to make her come.

Thank you so much for commenting! I'm glad that you liked it. I was trying to make myself be harder on Jack just to see whether I could manage it, but of course I ended up going pretty soft on him again by the end. ;)

And I'm glad that my attempts at "hot" didn't totally fizzle!

Awesome comment (thank you!), because that's just what I was aiming for. I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it! ♥

Oh, my dear Squeaky how I love thee :D

[squeakyboots]

Seriously, you are the best feedbacker ever. ♥♥♥

Thanks so much!

This is just amazing and beautiful and hot and stomach-churning all at once. At the end with the flashes, omg, just incredible work.

[squeakyboots]

Thank you so much, especially for the "stomach-churning." I'm so happy it came out that visceral: it's what I was attempting, but I wasn't sure whether it would work! ♥

Huh, I could've sworn I left a comment on this back when you posted it, but I'm rereading now, and it looks like I didn't, which is WRONG.

Seriously, this is so fantastic, it's desperate and sexy and emotional, and expresses the subtle, almost indescribable Jack/Juliet connection perfectly, nighttiming1022 has already quoted my favorite parts, but I just want to reiterate this is exactly how Juliet would choose to end the world if it was up to her: to sneak away and do it quietly, to disguise the bang behind a whimper, because YES.

This is exactly what I wanted, and I'm so sorry I apparently didn't comment the first time I read it. Thank you so, so much!

[squeakyboots]

Oh, no problem! I'm just glad you liked it!

Thanks so much for the inspiring challenge: I swear, as soon as I read it, this scenario just popped into my brain. ♥
