Title: one foot in sea, one on shore
Pairing: Sawyer/Juliet
Rating: PG
Spoilers: Through “The End.”
Summary: Heaven can wait.

A/N: Written for [livejournal.com profile] lost_in_108 challenge #37 “Adventure” and for my own peace of mind. Title from “Sigh No More” by Mumford and Sons.

It doesn’t seem fair.

She doesn’t remember how long it’s been since she glimpsed this place, this dream that wasn’t a second chance but an end.

She’s not ready to let go.

The feeling’s mutual, she can tell by the grip of his hand in hers.

They watch as the doors open, flooding the church with light. Juliet feels a sense of peace, but she turns away.

“You still got my back?” she murmurs.

James grins.

“Hell yeah.”

Laughing they run towards the exit, ignoring their friend’s protests. They don’t stop until they’re back outside in the chilly autumn night.

“What now?” she asks.

“Anything you want, Blondie.”

Gah, this is gorgeous! And I love the idea of them staying in that universe for awhile - I want some awkward family dinners with Sawyer/Juliet, Jack/Kate, and David. IT COULD BE SO MUCH FUN.

Thank you so much! Awkward dinner parties would have been awesome. And I'm still angsting over David being left all alone.

Heaven can wait, damnit.

Stupid show killing my characters. Pft.

This has just become my cannon. They're not ready to move on. They're gonna make damn good use of that little universe they all created and go and have some fun.

And maybe some babies.

*nods*

Heh. Thank you so much!

I much prefer the idea of them hanging out and having epic adventures in the altverse. They can go into the light later. Like when they're eighty. ;)

YES. This is a great scenario, and I approve of them running away. Re-united in life, rather than death.

Thank you so much!

They seriously need to have some fun before they go trotting off into the light. :)

Heaven can't wait, I approve of the exiting. Now they can go off and have more epic!adventures of their own. Lovely. ♥

Thank you so much! That's all I've ever wanted for them, adventuring and adorableness. :D

Oops, I just realized when you replied that I meant to say Heaven can wait, instead of can't. Sorry, sometimes my fingers move faster then my brain! :)

Heh. No worries, I'm pretty sure my fingers always move faster than brain. Typos and I are close friends. ;)

Awkward dinners would be so much fun. :D

Awwww, this is so incredibly sweet! I can't even tell you how much I would love for this to be the end for them (or the beginning, I guess), that he's still got her back and they break out together for one last adventure. So lovely!

Thank you so much! They need more epic adventures and I kind of love the idea of them fleeing the church. :)
