Why this must be read: Because this fic is so brilliant and powerful that I can't express my awe properly.

With just a few words, each sentence meaningful, eponine119 sheds a new light on the Jack-Sawyer dualism that is one of the one of the themes I love most in Lost. I loved this fic to pieces. Set around middle S3, It highlights their being two sides of the same coin, and made me look at both Jack and Sawyer in a different, deeper way. After reading this I kept asking myself how could I have not seen the whole scheme before - but it was thanks to this talented writer that I was able to see it at all.

From the author's summary: So here's the question -- who can answer it --
Was he a brave man or a hypocrite? (Czeslaw Milosz, "In Black Despair")
