Why this must be read: After the season five finale presented the possibility of a ‘reset’ in which the plane never crashed, a bunch of great fics have been written with this premise. This is one of my favorites. Each character is handled delicately and realistically. Most people find ways to meet in the real world that mirror the interactions that helped them bond on the island, but there are also sad dead ends for other characters, and moments of unrealized promise for yet others. My favorite bits include the Miles+Hurley friendship and Juliet and Sun still meeting.

Excerpt: “I’ve had my eye on you for quite some time, John. Do you mind if I call you, John?”

John shakes his head slowly and eyes the man’s satchel, suddenly wondering if it contains objects for a test. “Have we met before?”

"Many times, John. Many times.”
