Title: I can’t take no more regret
Pairing: Kate/Sawyer
Rating: PG
Spoilers/Warnings: Through the finale.
Disclaimer: Not mine. Title from Gaslight Anthem.
Summary: She asks him to come. He’s never been able to tell her no.
A/N: Written for [livejournal.com profile] lost_in_108 challenge #36 “message”. Yeah, I wrote Sawyer/Kate. No I don’t know where this came from. The muse is a fickle thing, my friends. I just do what she tells me to.

Postcards from New Orleans, Sydney, Paris…dog eared and torn, pressed into his back pockets, hidden in duffel bags, tucked away, out of sight, out of mind.

Messages scrawled in a hurry:

The weather’s nice here. You’d like it.

It’s an invitation, come find me, inevitable, but surprising none the less.

She’s in Amsterdam and there’s snow on the ground, he catches her before she goes into the hotel, wraps his arms around her from behind.

She pushes him against the wall out of instinct and he laughs.

“Son of a bitch. That how you say hello, Freckles?”

Kate grins, leans into his touch.

“You know it is, James.”

This was lovely! Just how I imagine them post-island, dancing around each other, but inevitably colliding in some way.

Heh. I'm so glad you liked this. You can thank "Sliding Doors", I couldn't stop thinking about a sad-post Lost James and I was like screw it, let's make him happy. ;)

Amazing, amazing, amazing!

There's such intense imagery to all these scenes, imaging Kate going back to what she does best and Sawyer kind of treasuring those memories. And when they finally meet, especially Sawyer's line -- so perfect! I love that S/J is your hardcore OTP and you still write absolutely beautiful S/K.

Thank you so much!

I don't dabble in S/K too often, but every now and then I'll get a plot bunny. And honestly after Sliding Doors I just wanted to make at least one James happy. ;)

This is wonderful and basically seems canon to me. I like "inevitable, but surprising none the less." Because, yeah. It's amazing how much of a complete story this is with so few words.

*gasp* YES. This. This this this.

Sorry, flailing here. This is just beautiful, and now my personal canon. I love the inevitable, but surprising bit, because it so is.

Thanks for writing this.
