Seeing This Song In A Whole New Light All Of A Sudden.

*half chokes while clearing throat* hu-hum, sorry, is it just me or is it thirsty in here?

🥹

Hey, I'm sorry man, but I swear you help so much.

I'd never bind you tho. Except if you asked for it iykwim.

Fire edit with a fire song for a fire show 🔥

And they lived happily ever after

Please can someone with a bigger brain than mine analyse this shit, it's crazy.

I've always loved that John's sacrifice, while for the good of the Island, was pretty much only for Jack's sake.

You have to die to show how convinced you are of your beliefs and, in that, you'll make others believe.

I mean, it worked, but how tragic is that?

Following the honorable @lost-inanotherlife's lead, please can we talk about Jack and John's relationship at length? Once you start thinking about it, it just plagues your mind. they're so intricately linked, it makes me head hurt.

And you know what I find crazier after everything? It's that Jack never found out John was paralysed.

“So what’s the difference between a martyr and a prophet?”

Heyyy

Wanted to know some of your hcs about Jack and Sawyer, or other Lost characters uvu

Heyyyyy ! Thanks for the ask 💗

As you didn't specify NSFW or SFW, I'll keep it clean (I absolutely love NSFW but don't want to subject you to my filthy filthy brain if thats not what you had in mind haha).

I'm going to be shameless and link this to my upcoming story:

Here's my headcanon of the Jack/Sawyer/Kate relationship before the events of The End (my fic starts post-Island).

OK, LET'S YAP.

As any good polyamorous person will tell you, a triad is composed of four interpersonal relationships, three for each duo, and the relationship the three hold together.

Jack & Kate

It's nearly canon but the writers never went all in because they wanted to keep stirring the love triangle, even after Ajira 316 landed (still mad about that).

Jack's basically been in love with Kate since the moment he saw her (who can blame him???) but like the dense mf he sometimes is, he took him years to accept she loved him too, really.

Her wilder side was never something he felt the need to tame. He loves her for who she is but, most importantly:

Who she makes him wanna be.

(To be clear, Jack's already good. He just doesn't believe it).

Kate sees the good in Jack and while the show sometimes wrote her to be cold towards Jack when he was struggling (I'm thinking about the O6 era when Jack was relapsing), I feel like she was doing it mostly to protect herself. She never stopped loving Jack either and hoping he'd get over his demons so they could truly be together.

When Jack said "You didn't like the old me Kate" I am like YEA SHE DID SHE JUST HAD TO PROTECT HER HEART AND AARON'S 🥺

So these two are just made for each other but they have to get past their respective demons and be transparent about them with each other (something Jack hadn't learned before coming back to the Island).

Their last kiss in The End represents all of that.

Sawyer & Kate

Those two really are the ones that nearly made it, in my head. They had something real, and the phase of Kate in the barracks in S4 when she thought she might be pregnant cimented the idea that she had real feelings for him, while still holding feelings for Jack (these people are so poly 😅).

Sawyer also had feelings for her, that's actually just plain canon, but of course they faded when they got separated for three years.

Him being with Juliet actually taught him how to be in a mature transparent relationship.

And while during season 6, Sawyer's just mourning the whole time, I like to think that his past relationship prepared him to be open to love with Kate once they made it back and everything settled.

Jack & Sawyer

My head is filled with off Island canon for these two, but on Island it's pretty straightforward.

Jack, before leaving in S4, was always on alert when Sawyer was there because, even though he felt like they could have been friends, he never could read him.

Actually the warming up to him tragically starts a bit before the Oceanic 6 make it off. If James didn't have to jump from the helicopter, they would have been fast friends (then more I hope 🫣) after making it to the States.

Sawyer is definitely so smitten with Jack from the beginning, it's so evident I feel it's near canon 🤣 and, again, WHO could blame him? He just wants his doc to doctor him 🥵

However, it's not like he was openly thirsting for Jack. The pull he's felt towards him has always been out of his control and something he had a hard time apprehending.

His school girl antics with Jack in the first seasons were just the manifestation of his crush in a way he himself couldn't grasp.

ALSO: Did you know in the script notes of The End, we were supposed to get a huge hug between those two when they're saying goodbye on the Island? We got ROBBED!

Jack, Sawyer & Kate

This relationship has only been explored furtively in some of their minds, but none of them have actually considered it as something that could take place.

Kate thought about it once or twice after they first crashed because she's the one who actually toyed with feelings for both these men. So it was more like "Shit would be great if i didnt have to chose."

Good news Freckles, in my world, you don’t !

Sawyer has no experience with men but he always found them attractive. However he hasn't really let himself even imagine what could be so the perspective of the trio might have made one appearance or two in desperate fantasies, late at night on the beach, but that's it.

Jack has experimented with men in med school and liked it but because he's so consumed with Kate, he hasn't really looked at Sawyer that way. Also Jack's problem isn't the man part, it's the "gotta share" part. Jack's obviously not going to have an easy time with this, and that's why as of now he never contemplated it.

Yet everything could change...

Now shameless plug: I pick all of this up in the fanfic I'm posting this week ! Can't wait to share what's been invading my brain with the world 🤍

Ok sorry this is so long. I feel like writing about these guys makes me go crazy, I can't talk about Lost without going into long ramblings. If you made it through, here's your reward, a cute photo showing all of their chemistry, I cant deal.

I WANT THEM HAPPY AND THEY'LL BE HAPPY TOGETHER!

Three’s Always a Crowd

Chapter 3: Have a Seat, Baby

Guys, guys guys guys. Guys. The smut has finally arrived. After a month of telling you guys this is a smutty story, here is where I start earning my E rating.

Still lots of cute pining and a nice dose of angst, just because that's how my babies are.

This week has kind of been a bitch to me and writing these three doing nastiezzzzz has been the best distraction, ngl. Lost to the rescue, once again.

Please tell me how you like it lol, there's so much more smut coming. I wanna make sure you guys enjoy 🫶🏽

My three babies, battling their debilitating angst through mind-shattering sex. This is what I wanna always write tbh.

@lost-fanfic-promoter

the tragedy of Jack Shepard is that he's the character obsessed with fixing everything, meanwhile you have me watching him religiously screw up his life, thinking *i could fix him*

I enjoy your freak

ooooooh as someone writing a smutty Lost fanfic this goes straight through my heart

Im just discovering it but im also loving the freakiness of tumblr regarding Jack and Sawyer, my freaky babies 😏😏

What I wrote ten weeks ago in a post, here about how Sawyer felt about Jack when they were on the Island:

His school girl antics with Jack in the first seasons were just the manifestation of his crush in a way he himself couldn't grasp.

What I found yesterday: A French pop song from my youth (so the early 00's lol) sung by a then middle-school girl, to which the lyrics, when translated, say:

Test me, detest me. Love me, look at me.

Test me, detest me. But above all, look at me.

For a gesture, a word from you, I'd give anything I have.

Test me, detest me. Love me, look at me.

Test me, detest me. But above all, look at me.

And I mean, there's no better way to express his way of acting with Jack. It's so on the nose it made me lol for a while when I realised the parallels.

It's giving I'll tease you, call you names, have you break up the fights I'm a part of, follow you around making dumb jokes you're not in the mood for, volunteer for every risky thing you're also a part of, kiss the girl you're obviously crushing on, get injured so you can help me, and if all fails, I'll actually ask you to play courtyard games with me for a while... anything.

Anyting but, please, please, look at me.

Please, let me fuck you. (heyyy, I have smut on the brain, can you blame me?)

Anywayyyyyyyyyyy... Case closed.
