Chapter 3: Have A Seat, Baby

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?”

Thanks for the tag Z. Love your pic and the song is so cute.

Picrew: I don't have green eyes. Wish I did. Let me dream 😇

Last song: Been listening to this one so much recently lol. Oh, it fills my heart with love. Won't elaborate because I yap too much on here already, but it reminds me of my meow meows 🥰

Kate: Is there anyone here who’s actually straight?

Jack: *raises hand*

Sawyer: *puts Jack’s hand down*

no thoughts, just hanging out with Jack and putting make-up on him 🥰

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!

Since you asked me, I'm asking you back.

What got you into writing fic?

What's your favourite and least favourite thing about writing fanfic?

Thanks Nalu! 🤍

Well, honestly, I've also always loved writing stories. Thing is, nobody sent 10 year old me the memo that said you could do that for existing characters. So mini Em would mostly try to craft original fiction... with differing levels of result. As you said, I reread my works and it's a bit cringe, but oh my god, im so proud of her.

Then I heard about fanfiction years later, well into adulthood, from a friend reading and writing for Harry Potter. But neither HP, nor any other piece of media I'd enjoyed at that point made me go, "Oh, I would love to do that."

Then Lost came back into my life last year ❤️ It knocked the wind out of me how much I loved each and every one of these characters with my whole heart. Also never fell in love with a character the way I did Jack, I'm still amazed to this day... Suddenly, the idea of having these characters interact some more, of getting dynamics and pairings I couldn't get on the show, and of making them so happy by making them fuck... All of these prospects sounded amazing.

Spoiler for the show below

First draft I started, two months and a half ago, was a funeral scene for Jack on the Island, held by Hugo and Rose. I couldn't get through it cause it was too depressing lol so then I quickly let that go for my AU where Jack actually never died. That's been way easier to cope with lol.

So, yeah, long story short, Lost brought me to fanfic. Specifically @forever-erica, who showed me there was still a vibrant and active community writing for the show 😭 Thanks again for that and also your support and help in putting out my first chapters!

I love so many things about writing fic. I'm truly so happy to have started. But if I had to choose, what I've loved most is writing the story I'd love to see. Sometimes, when I get high, I can reread parts of my manuscript and forget for 5 seconds that I'm the one writing it. And I'm like "Oh shit i love this!" I'm so happy to be able to do what I've been doing in my head for yearsーfixing shabby love triangles with the power of polyamoryーfor a show I love so much and characters I feel like I know intimately.

What I've hated most, and it's not hate really, but it's what would discourage me most from keeping on, is the space these stories take up in my brain. It can be a bit overwhelming. And while I can yap about it on the internet; as of now, it's really something I keep to myself in my personal life. I've told most people I'm writing, but less than half know it's fanfic. And, like, I haven't told anyone what it's about. I'd be hard pressed to explain to my mom for instance that I'm making my blorbos discover the power of battling your angst through mind-shattering sex lmao. So yeah, it's more that it feels debilitating how much I love these guys, want to write about them all the time, and want to talk about 'em when I'm not writing about 'emーbut I can't really talk about it IRL.

So thanks mutuals for yapping together online about these magnificent meow meows 😻

Hihi, I have a doubt, do you have any schedule plan for when you will be releasing you fic's chapters?

No pressure, just curious!

Heyyy thanks for the ask and interest in my silly depressed story 🥰🤪

I announced (but don't remember where) a schedule of posting twice a month, and I intend to keep to it!

It's easy to say now because I have some backlog I'm reediting for chapters 2 to 6, but the last three are just outline at this point.

I'll try and keep people updated if for some reason I can't post twice a month as intended.

This also means chapter two should be dropping end of next week 🎉

It'll focus on Kate and James' POV and will move us closer to the actual smut I'm promising 😇

Can't wait to keep sharing. Thanks for asking !

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.

Three’s Always a Crowd

Chapter 4: Well, We're Gonna Have to Remedy That.

Omg guys, another one in the books. I'm so happy to be reintroducing chapters with music, I've been listening to this track so much. I just love where it appears in the story and can't wait to have you guys' feedback.

Writing without pressure has been feeling so fun, the juices have been flowing, and the long weekend just helped me power through and finish this chapter.

I missed posting, missed sharing the story. So there you go:

Another really smut-heavy (they're pretty much all going to be from now on 🫣) chapter to feed the love story and, in this case, to highlight the ease these three babies ended up finding with each other in time 💞

Thanks to anyone who's been following the story, hope this one pleases you as well!

@lost-fanfic-promoter

This is the NSFW hc ask!

1, 2. 3, fire!

THANKS 🫡 for enabling my rants about my babies being nasty... you made my morning!

Ok so disclaimer: I mostly have Jawyer headcanon filling my brain (though my fanfic explores the other dynamics) because they're both incredibly precious and furiously hot at the same time, I just can't deal 😅

OK so here's my headcanon about how it felt to go from friends to lovers.

And here's the song I associate with that, if you're interested. It's... hot.

Without going into too much detail about the circumstances, it was evident for both these guys as soon as they slept together for the first time that they'd probably never get enough..

James had never slept with a man but always found them attractive. And he always found Jack particularly attractive (I mean... have you seen him???)

Jack had experience, and he wanted to test that out with James. He had an inkling that their friendly chemistry would probably translate to something quite enjoyable... so he was the one to actually ask for it (I mean, after plenty of overthinking... he's still Jack).

James had always been one to please, in bed, and focused on the other person's pleasure. But with Jack, it unlocked something else. Not the wish, not the desire, but the drive, the need to please someone. The insurmountable urge to be the one to make him plead and shake under his touch 🥵.

It awakened something he feared he would never be able to put to rest.

In turn, Jack's initial attraction to James turned to wildfire as soon as he entered him for the first time. To hell with clichés, it truly felt like a piece of him he only then realised had been missing. James' eagerness to please him, to do him exactly how he wants, allowed Jack to give into shamelessly chasing his pleasure and asking for more 🤤

So, as we could have all guessed, their freaks just perfectly matched each other.

And as time went on, the love they shared grew as did the passion of their reunions. Now, each time they're together, it feels better somehow.

But this also makes it incredibly harder when they have to separate...

Honestly, could you blame them? 🫣
