A/N: For Queen hitlikehammers who asked for “greatest hits”. If my love for Lost was to be rendered in a graph, there would be a steady increase in affection as the series went on that would ultimately reach its highest point during the time travel arc.

A/N: Written for Queen bittersweet325 who asked for Richard + The Modern World. Umm…I’m not sure how I got from there to role-playing and hooking up, but hopefully it’s not too random.

( In the beginning there is a newness to every experience, an air of novelty. )
