Why this must be read:

Ten-year-old Walt doesn't get featured in a lot of fics and if he does, they're usually quite fluffy. But here's a fic that paints a very creepy portrait of Walt. Having him talk to Sawyer is a stroke of genius. The two have barely interacted on the show but it turns out they have much more -- and much less -- in common than Sawyer thought. The tension here is palpable as Sawyer begins to sense that there's something not quite right with Walt.


Sawyer feels a little pang in his gut, cause he knew the kid's mother had died, but he'd never had to talk about it until now. "Yeah. Sorry about that, Walt."

"It's okay," Walt says, and the lack of emotion in the statement jolts Sawyer. Even now, thirty years later, the word Mom does something to him. He can't understand how Walt can sound so glib only five weeks later. "Anyway, he doesn't have to know where I am all the time."

Sawyer smirks and takes a cigarette out of his pack. If there's anything he can understand, it's the need to be alone. "Sure."

"Hey, you wanna see something cool," Walt asks, grinning that carefree grin again.

This time, Sawyer feels a chill run through him at it. He passes it off as the breeze. He nods, taking a deep puff. "Sure, kid. Why not."
