Why this must be read: Lost fic that theorizes is great, and this is one of the best "let's try to explain it"stories I've ever read. We know so little about Richard and Jacob's relationship that seems to have spanned at least a century. This beautifully written story provides a fascinating background that is completely believable---how Jacob made Richard immortal, what it was like for Richard to lead with Ben, how Jacob felt about Alex's storyline. But most importantly, it's great to watch how Richard grows along with his relationship with Jacob. The tone is also a perfect blend of creepy and beautiful... just like the island.
Excerpt:
Warm hands steady him and eyes settle on him. This man does not look through him - a rarity.
He introduces himself as Jacob.
