aw, nik that was so awesome!

I totally agree with what you said on YT, i don't think I can wait to see what actually happens as a result of Kate being shot

I really loved the scenes you chose because you managed to include just the four from the final scene of last week, keeping it very believable. I loved all of Kate's crying in agony and stuff, especially her saying 'i'm so afraid', and I loved the way Sawyer felt for Jack as opposed to getting angry or something

You portrayed it really beautifully!! I loved it!

Yay! Thanks Kat! So happy you liked it! But I really really hope this doesn't happen next week

Aww. That was so sad, Nikki! Poor Jack and Kate!

Great audio/manips as usual though.

Spoiler:

As tragic and beautiful as this story was, I agree that it should stay AU! I would cry if this happened on Lost! And have to write a lot of fluffy fan fics as therapy!

Edit: How convenient is it that those four are the same four who were in the hatch after Ana and Libby got shot?

I know and the same four when the Marshall dies too! Good thing or else i wouldn't have been able to make it so convincing. But yeah if this really happens I will cry so hard, not just for Jate but for Kate b/c she's been my number 1 favorite since day 1! It can't happen!!

You'll cry for Kate and I'll cry for Jack!

(And Kate because she's my second favourite but more than anything I hate seeing Jack in pain. He broke my heart in the flashforwards!

)

We're so spoiled though because we love the safest characters! There was never any doubt that they would make it to the finale!

Very true

I really wanted to have her say I love you to him in that end scene and actually had it in there but it didn't sound desperate enough and so just sounded badly manipped so I took it out.

She should have said it on the beach! That would have been perfect!

I'm still holding out hope that we get a proper ILY (no more of this offscreen business) from her to Jack before the end of the show. Maybe in the finale.

I thought this was just fantastic. I really loved the way you edited everything, especially their 'greatest moments' together. It was so beautifully done, and so heartbreaking. Great job!

Oh, that was such a fantastic, angsty AU! Great work with the manips, very smooth and believable! Really, really nicely done!

Brooke, thanks and hehe at your icon!

I couldn't decide which moments to include for their flashes so I just chose my very favorites!

Ais, Thanks! I wanted to include a little more Skate....like have him have a little moment with her before she died but I couldn't figure out how to do that and keep it flowing. I hope that if she does die he will get some time with her and call her Freckles one last time!

Nikki, this was absolutely gorgeously heart string pulling!!

I loved the song choice, it was very eery, mystical and lovely. I loved your clip choices too, especially of Jack with Kate in the hatch, really awesomely done!! I loved how you pieced together the scenes of Jack in the hatch with Kate lying down after being shot, very creative and well put together. The ending looked beautiful with the glowy clips of them, lovely editing!

Beautiful work Nikki!

Ooo! I almost forgot to come here and vote! Anyway, you did an AMAZING job on this, Nikki! I love Scully's theme and it worked *really* well with this story, I thought. This was so angsty and emotional... I loved it!!!
