Drabbles, as promised.

aim_toothpaste wanted Lost, with Kate and Sawyer at Christmas.

( For Christmas, Jin gives Sun a nicely polished seashell. )

carlanime asked for "Swallows and Amazons", and Nancy when she isn't being a pirate.

( 'Bother the GA.' )

So, why is it that in all those fics where a female character has a secret child that suddenly reappears and comes to live with them, the child is always a girl?

I'm tempted to write one in which the child is a boy, just for the hell of it. I probably won't, but I'm entertaining myself by weighing up all the female characters in my head and trying to figure out who gets to have this kid.

( Samantha Spade, Without a Trace )

( Terry Lake, Numb3rs )

( Kate Austin, Lost )

( Natalie Durant, Medical Investigation )

( Kate Todd, NCIS )

( Abby Sciuto, NCIS )

Well, that was pointless. I probably won't write the fic. At least it's kept me amused for the last day or two.

I'm not sure what it says about my mind that when I saw a truck with OTS emblazoned on the side the other day, I misread it as 'OT3' and started wondering if the driver ships Jack/Kate/Sawyer.

I have a new obsession. It is the UK Lost promo and it is so very, very, very pretty and also slightly disturbing, in a wonderfully fascinating kind of way. It has dancing, and pretty girls in dresses and dark smudged makeup, and Jack and Kate not quite kissing, and a creepy echoing voiceover.

Also, Claire dancing with Boone, but I don't pretend to understand that.

I downloaded it from this page at Evangeline Lilly Fan, but there are links all over the place at the moment. Also, icons. *Points at the pretty icon, made by rogueapprentice*.

I'm so shallow sometimes.

And? Tonight? Lost final Lost final Lost final! But I don't want it to be over...
