Hi there! I’m ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aurilly and I’ll be reccing Lost this month. It hasn't been in regular circulation since halfway through season two. So much amazing fic has been written since then, and how canon has progressed! :) I read pretty widely, so there will be het, slash, and lots of ensemble gen---pretty much everything except the usually popular canon pairings. Hopefully you'll enjoy these!
Fandom: LOST
Pairing: Sayid/Shannon
Length: 1018 words

Why this must be read: Shannon is one of those characters that, oddly enough, is much more likable in prose form than she was in the show. The writing here is gorgeous, and Shannon’s POV is this heartbreaking balance between shallow and insecure and laugh-out-loud funny. Her thought processes are of a real girl. But my favorite aspect are the fantastic little details about the uncertainty of living on the beach that go into it, like having to steal toothpaste and how to keep your secrets in a camp where there’s no alone time. I have to admit that this is my favorite canon pairing. They never would have had a chance to get to know one another in normal circumstances… but island life is like summer camp. Two good-looking people with nothing to do all day end up finding out that they can and do have a connection. It’s random, but it works (at least, for me). And they were very sexy together onscreen. The fic captures that, too. :)
Excerpt:
Sayid earns Brownie points - not that he or Shannon were ever Girl Scouts - for not making a comment when she goes into her bag for a condom and three boxes fall out.
(Later, when she's over-analyzing everything, she realizes that if he had even seen them, he probably thought she bought them from Sawyer, or something. There's everything else on the damn plane, why not a million condoms?)
