Title: The Murder of Colleen Pickett
Author: [livejournal.com profile] taffee_mandie
Rating: PG
Length: Short
Brief summary: The Others gather for the funeral of Colleen Pickett. Quiet and eerie and dark, effectively managing to present the Others as the good guys and our survivors as the aggressors. You won't think about Ben and Juliet the same way again…
Excerpt:
"Colleen was such a pleasant person. She never fought with anyone, and she always lit up the room, like Danny said. She was a great friend, and she'll be missed." Juliet wiped her tears and stepped away. "No one had ever expected Colleen to die."

Nobody mentioned Sun. Nobody mentioned Jack or his attempt to save her. Nobody talked about the boat. Nobody talked about revenge.

The plane survivors would, of course, have hell to pay. The plane survivors were told by 'the others' that 'the others' weren't the enemies, but that's what they would become. They were warned, time and again. And now Ethan, Goodwin, and Colleen were dead.

Rating: PG
Length: Medium
Brief summary: Hurley, Shannon, and Boone discuss Hollywood desert island movies, and how being shipwrecked (or planewrecked) isn't half as much of a vacation as the movies would you like to think. Cute and funny, with gorgeous characterizations. Plus, a ton of sci-fi/fantasy geek shout-outs.
Excerpt:
Shannon gave him an incredulous look. "Romance? If you're talking about that little mention of there being something between Alan and Ellie in the first one, that doesn't count."

"What about Ian and Sarah in the second?" Hurley shot back. "Or Alan and Billy in the third?"

"Subtext doesn't count," Shannon protested.

Hurley blinked. "You saw the subtext?"

Shannon rolled her eyes. "The pope himself would have seen that subtext," she said, giving Hurley the "why am I stuck here with an idiot like you?" look that that he was much more used to getting from her.

"If we're going to talk about movies, could we at least talk about one that doesn't involve giant man-eating dinosaurs?" Boone broke in suddenly, joining in the conversation for the first time in several minutes.
