On Being God by uberaeryn (NC-17)
Hello all, I'm ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
foxxcub and I'll be your July driver for "Lost". I'll try to mix it up this month, but you should know that a) I'm a smut hound and b) I LOVE Jack/Sawyer, and I don't think there's been a lot of the pairing rec'd so far. So on that note...
Fandom: Lost
Pairing: Jack/Sawyer
Author on LJ:uberaeryn
Author website: GateFic
Why this is a must read:
No other fic I've come across illustrates so beautifully or poignantly the subtleties of the Jack/Sawyer dynamic than "On Being God". The story itself is deceptively simple and stark; Jack is struggling with the responsibilities of life and death as the days pass, yet in the background, always watching and supporting, is Sawyer. Heartbreaking, tender, yet at the same time dark and painful, this fic breaks me every single time I read it.
He also wondered if God did this same thing, rested high on his perch and watched from a distance, not knowing their names and not really caring, either, depending upon his mood. Because the act of salvation was, sometimes he thought, more of an ego stroke than an act of mercy, and more often than not Jack was stroking himself but wearing the hair shirt at the same time.
