Lost Fic: I ain't the man I used to be (Sawyer/Juliet)

[ozmissage]

Title: I ain’t the man I used to be
Rating: PG
Spoilers/Warnings: Through “La Fleur”.
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Summary: He’s not looking to leave. (Sawyer/Juliet)
A/N: Written for lost_in_108 prompt #11 "reminder".

Every now and then he says something stupid that reminds her that he wasn’t always good ole Jim La Fleur , and she’ll cross her arms and stare at him like he’s still the son of a bitch he used to be.

He can’t stand to see that look on her face. Sometimes he thinks maybe she’s just waiting for him to walk out that door. It ain’t like she hasn’t been left before and he’s sure as hell done his share of leaving.

But then he’ll grin and say, I still got your back, Blondie.

And that’s a reminder too, a reminder that he’s not going anywhere.

Okay. This is amazing. In such a few words you captured Sawyer perfectly! With the inner conflict and his relationship with Juliet. Just, gah, wonderful. ♥

And of course he isn't going anywhere. Because they just belong together. Forever. And ever. They deserve a happy ending. And if Darlton doesn't write it, then it's up to you. :D

Aww, thank you so much!

Man, if they don't get a happy ending I am prepared to write the sappiest/fluffiest AU ever and then I will pretend it's canon. ;)

God, I love your Sawyer POV -- so incredible. Every word of this is seriously perfect, especially the ending. It makes me squee and I'm the further thing from a Juliet/Sawyer shipper possible, lol. ;P

Thank you so much! I felt like writing something fluffy this week. :D

Aww, love Sawyer, that last line is so sweet!

[ozmissage.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you! :)

Dude, I was gonna put my favorite lines then realised it was the entire drabble!

Loved the "still the sonofabitch he used to be" and "then he'll grin and say, I still got your back, Blondie".

WHY OH WHY DID KATE COME BACK AND DARLTON RUIN EVERYTHING!?? At least we'll always have fanfic.

Great job as per usual Oz.

Thank you! :)

I would like to think this sequence of emotions happens quite often for them! Great job!

[ozmissage.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you! And me too. Man, I wish we could have seen more of that time...

I usually can't stomach Sawyer/Juliet, to be perfectly honest. But I loved this, and can definitely see it happening.

It ain’t like she hasn’t been left before and he’s sure as hell done his share of leaving.
That line in particular really packs a punch.

Thank you so much for reading (especially since it's not your usual pairing)! I'm glad you liked it. :)
