He had been saying it since day one - they were in the wild - and the absolute best thing about that little bit of news, as far as Sawyer was concerned, was that he could take a piss anywhere he damn well pleased.

Fic: Unload (Sawyer/Ana Lucia)

2007-01-03T19:53:24Z

Title: Unload
Pairing: Sawyer/Ana Lucia
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 4500
Summary: Post-rescue, domestic stuff. What Jack sees when he comes for a visit.
This isn't exactly crack-fic, but it is rather light in tone, just something playful that doesn't attempt to totally fluff these two up. They're still combative and snarky, just like we know and love them (those of us who do love Ana). I was determined that it was possible to let them be happy, but if that seems like an impossibility to you, you should probably move on along.
Note: for prompt #25: Sana (positive... fluffy or angsty, but positive, not angry and meaningless) NC-17/R; Sana married; Sana baby/kids; Sana anything, on-Island or post-Island.

Disclaimer: I do not own Lost. At all. I wish but alas...
Author's Note: This was written for hiatus_stories, prompt #16: Shannon and Libby in the afterlife. Gossiping. And it pales in comparison to cmonkatiekatie's fic, Half-Life written off of the same prompt, and posted yesterday. Read it, read it now.

Prompt post

2006-11-11T02:41:29Z

Here they are! I categorized them loosely to try to make it easier. For the challenge, you need to select a) an unclaimed prompt, by number and b) an unclaimed date between now and February 5, 2007. Then on your date, you'll post your story written from the prompt.

I will put the official sign-up list in another post. First come, first served in terms of both prompts and dates. (Although if you miss the date, obviously there's no penalty.)

UNUSUAL PAIRINGS

1. What if Desmond and Shannon crossed paths, either on the island or off? Would they get along? (Would she remind him of Penny?)

2. Locke and Rousseau are the same side of the coin - can someone write them?

3. More Claire/Sawyer, with brother Jack monitoring the slow romance.

4. Post-island AU fic, with Boone (yes, that's why it's an AU!) and Sawyer running into each other and connecting in a way they never did on the island. Shannon can be dead, or not. Angst is always good. And yes, slash, please!

5. Desmond/Sayid porn; building something maybe...must feature tie dye shirts and wifebeater ;)

6. Let's see some Benry/Locke, because there isn't nearly enough of that. Set in season 3, Locke arrives in Otherville to save Jack & Co. back gets a little... sidetracked.

~~7. Sawyer's a book nerd, so...Sawyer/Charlie, Lord of the Rings, hobbits, nerdiness.~~

8. Sawyer goes X-mas shopping for Sayid. (or any variation of pairing!)

9. jack/boone. what if they had been together before boone died? what would their last words to each other?

10. Charlie is able to sing once the Hatch blows up. Old friend Desmond teases him.

11. Sawyer goes to gencon. Charlie goes as well. (IFyou don't know what Gencon is don't worry about it.) they end up in a Live Action Role Play together.

12. Sayid as the father of Sun's baby.

13. Conversely, Michael or Sawyer or Jack as the father of Sun's baby.

14. To go even futher, a Michael/Sun/Jin threesome. With a happy if very strange family, given Walt and the baby.

15. Charlie and Sun get sneaky together. Charlie/Claire and Jin/Sun (or Michael/Sun or Sayid/Sun). Explosions a plus.

~~16. Shannon and Libby in the afterlife. Gossiping.~~

17. Shannon/Sawyer song fic What I did for love.

18. Charlie and Sawyer debate who's better BJ or Trapper John. Can end up slashy if you so desire.

19. Shannon/Sawyer "Never have I ever" (I never) strip style?

20. Shannon takes the internship. And meets Michael, who has pursued art, in New York. And over time they fall in love and get married. Shannon goes with Michael to pick up Walt after Susan dies. See the evolution of a real family on the Island.

21. Write a story with an odd pairing: Ben/Sayid, Claire/Jack, or whomever else you want.

22. Shannon takes the internship, She and Micheal become friends as his project (Due to the orignal idea being stolen) Is sketches of the Ladies of new york. ANd to supplment her megear paycheck shannon is strip teasing.

23. Claire invites Sawyer into her tent to read Aaron to sleep. The only book on hand is a trashy romance novel. Aaron quiets down almost immediately, but both Claire and Sawyer are very turned on. USTy, with or without resolution.

24. I may be the only one but I still can only imagine Sawyer with Sayid. If anyone wants to write them getting together in the show's current context, I will love you forever.

~~25. Sana (positive... fluffy or angsty, but postive, not angry and meaningless) NC-17/R; Sana married; Sana baby/kids; Sana anyything, on-Island or post-Island, I had to :D~~

26. Sayid/Sun fluffy fan fic. Nothing in particular, just a Sayid/Sun fan fic that is fluffy. :) It can be AU or whatever, doesn't matter. :)

27. Jack / Kevin. I don't know quite how that would work but I think someone could explore the idea of the two good guys who fell hard for Kate meeting up and falling hard for each other. Either via a flashback or a future fic, I'm not picky. Points to anyone who can work in "Hey, wanna get it on?" or the phrase "Captain Tightpants"

JIN / SUN

28. Jin and Sun's romance, from beginning to present.

29. Jin can speak perfect English. Does this have an effect in any way?

30. Sun/Jin make-up sex. In her garden. In Korean.

JACK
31. priest! Jack AU ;) Has anyone seen Thornbirds?

~~32. Jack writes.~~

JACK / KATE / SAWYER

~~33. There's a storm on the island and Jack/Kate, Sawyer/Kate, OR Jack/Sawyer/Kate are stuck together. What happens?~~

34. Long time best friends Sawyer/Kate, with bad boy Jack trying to horn in. Slash-virgin Sawyer. He doesn't see it, but Kate does, and tries to protect him.

35. What if Sawyer and Jack are thrown together in a room by the others for a while and they decide they have to come up with a plan to make them release Kate. The only plot they can come up with is to convince their captors that they are really into each other and that neither wants to be with Kate; so they decide they have to convince the Others of this whatever way they can. Of course they would be really convincing (read lots of hot sex) but the Others can't be fooled so easily of course and require J/S to show their feelings for each other in front of Kate (she could be behind a two way mirror) Of course in the process of all this, the guys realize they really do feel this way about each other.

36. Jack's heroic attempt to free Kate fails. Ben dies. Sawyer lives. Kate and Sawyer are put back in their respective cages. Juliet, having no reason to keep Jack separate from his friends for the time being, puts Jack in Sawyer's cage. Smutty, angsty threesome(s) ensue(s).

37. Even before S3, Jack, Sawyer and Kate are engaged in a steamy, if reluctant, threesome, as there were some missing moments in S2. Write those missing momements. If possible, include an explanation for each character's, but especially Jack's, actions in S3.

JACK / JULIET

38. Juliette is attempting to manipulate Jack into falling for her, despite struggling with her feelings for Ben. Idea can be explored any way the writer likes, but should involve Jack, Ben and Juliette.

JACK / SAWYER

~~39. Post-island or AU, Jack and Sawyer have some occasion to get all dressed up.~~

40. Jack/Sawyer. Futurefic. Assuming that Jack doesn't know that Sawyer was deported from Australia and Sawyer doesn't know Jack was married. They're rescued and they make it back to the US. They try to start something together -maybe living together, maybe not-, but when the time comes to cash in the Oceanic compensation Sawyer doesn't make a move because he didn't pay for his plane ticket -the Australian government did-, Jack becomes suspicious and (some, if not all) secrets come to light.

41. Post Island, Jack is in a car accident, he's in the hospital, that's how others find out that he and Sawyer are together, Sawyer stays with him, and with his awkwardness, it's hard for him to articulate just how much Jack means to him. Jack is fine though, gets out of the hospital but Sawyer sort of hovers, at first Jack resents it a little, but realizes that is how Sawyer is showing his affection. And then well, they really show how they feel about each other..or not, no hotness needs to be involved.

~~42. Jack and Sawyer go on one of those tacky morning talk shows after the rescue.~~

~~43. Jack and Sawyer have a pissing contest - literally.~~

~~44. Jack is turned into a frog and has to convince Sawyer to kiss him, not squish him.~~

45. Post-rescue, Sawyer works in a library and Jack drops by to visit and to make naughty naughty sex in a lesser-used corner. The more literary references, the better.

46. Jack & Sawyer go to Disney World? On Gay Day or not, your choice ;)

47. AU Jack/Sawyer firemen!

48. Desmond inflicts a self-fufilling prophecy on Jack & Sawyer. He tells them they are destined to be but don't believe him. He is equally amused, and when it actually happens they're not sure if they should blame or thank him. OR, he wants to join in. This is also known as: I like threesomes. ;)

49. Jack and Sawyer go skying for the weekend. competition and snowball fight ensues

50. Post rescue: New Years Eve party. Jack and Sawyer share their first kiss when midnight strikes.

51. Somehow, Jack convinced Sawyer to do Santa Claus for the kids at the hospital

52. Claire convinces the guys to do a gingerbread house with Aaron. Since they cannot agree, both Jack and Sawyer do their versions.

~~53. Jack gets shot and Sawyer has to take the bullet out with his bare hands. Can be h/c angst, crack!fic, or anything in between.~~

~~54. post rescue, Jack and Sawyer have trouble adjusting to a colder climate.~~

55. post-rescue. sawyer and jack have been together on the island, and they love each other. now, they get seperated because sawyer thinks that they can't work in the real world. what would happen before/after the airport? (think crazy-hot angsty regretful last-time sex ppl!!!)

56. sawyer/jack. crackfic. they both discover slash-loving fangirls on the island!!! (while doing *cough* questionalbe *cough* things to each other

150. Crossover. Post-rescue. Claire is forced to confess to the other Islanders that she's been lying about her past; that she's actually an alien/human hybrid and the reincarnation of Queen Ava of Antar.

152. Dr.Who/Lost.

Lost is going to have a hiatus of approximately 12 weeks between November and February, before returning with a straight run of new episodes.

We are going to have to amuse ourselves for a long, long time.

The idea of this challenge community is along the lines of if highwaymiles married lostsquee.

In step 1, people will submit ideas for Lost fics they would like to see written. All pairings and ratings will be welcome. Ideas don't have to be season 3 related. Submissions will close on or around November 8.

In step 2, a list of all the ideas will be posted, and writers claim the ideas they'd like to write. At the same time, each writer will sign up for a day during the hiatus when they plan to post their story. There will be approximately 84 days available. No penalties for being late, and if there aren't 84 sign-ups then anyone who wants a second date/story can have it. The list will go up ASAP after the mid-season cliffhanger.
