ETA: Okay, no more! I've probably got more than I can do anyway!
The idea is a simple one
1. Give me a pairing (or character, or the name of a show) and a prompt (a word, a phrase, a situation, an emotion, a few lines from a song or, hell, even an entire song

Sayid/Desmond, "repayment"

Spot-on characterization; I loved Desmond's post-isolation desperation and Sayid's way of relating to him. You've got them both nailed down (mind out of the gutter;) - wow! And for someone who wasn't feeling too confident about writing Desmond, you've definitely got the hang of it.

Thanks!

Sayid thrusts shallowly, just to see if it’s okay and Desmond looks up at him, and it’s almost too much, because he looks, he looks, ohhh, he looks good like that, he looks like a vision - debauched, beautiful, sluttish, flushed and sweat-sheened, his eyes unfocused and all pupil. Desmond’s hands clutch at his thighs so hard it hurts and that damned ( ... )

Well, you know this is not an easy pairing for me! I just decided it'd be easier to porn them liek whoa than it would be to flirt around idea. So I did.
In spite of the fact that Des still seems basically straight to me, I just decided that maybe I could pretend he was bi for a little while and let him have gay sex and let him enjoy the hell out of it. ;)

I find Penny pretty hard to ignore when it comes to Des, so I had to try to work her relationship with him in somehow.

Absolutely incredible.
It takes less that a minute until Desmond gasps, “Oh God, Oh Christ, Oh Jesus,” hitting all the high points of Christian blasphemy in one breath.
This line is perfect. I love it. So appropriate for the former monk :)
Truly, zee, yet another wonderful piece. I feel like this sounds repetitive, but it bears repeating that your use of language is incredibly skillful and always very in character--the voices, the thoughts, the actions, all fit together and fit the characters you're writing. Yes, how Des is acting here is unexpected for Sayid, but it doesn't feel like you've pushed him out of character to fit the story--it's just his character acting differently. That's a true gift and I admire it in you so much.
I always love the way you write Sayid, but the way you write him with Des is just...inspired. I am SO grateful TPTB put them together for awhile...if only for fic like this. Thanks so much, zee! *squish*

So glad you like this!
I really had my doubts that I'd be able to pull off Des being not-straight, but I figured it was worth a try. I'm pleased if I managed to not strain credulity overmuch.
Glad you like that blasphemy line. I think it's my favorite of the piece.
I guess I was struck by how protective and careful Sayid was of Des in The Constant. I like that side of him, so it naturally came out here.
Thanks so much!
