Oh gosh!!! It's so nice to see another fellow Shannon lover out here. As a character, she had so much potential that wasn't followed up on, and just is such a fun narrative to draw from. I really love the way you expressed her interactions with other characters in this, particularly her relationship with Sayid!!!!!!! There truly needs to be more recognition for how sweet they were while we had them! And I feel like it gets glossed over how bonded the original crash survivors are spiritually and emotionally (depending on the interpretation on the ending) and how even the people that weren't as close with the other survivor's like Shannon, still have such close connections with those around them like enough to rally an entire group for her funeral scene- and it was just very nice to read about Charlie and Claire being concerned for her- I feel like she and Claire would have had such a sweet friendship! Then the way that Shannon was looking for Walt!!! Sayid telling her she was right! Shannon telling Sayid she's scared!! My heart! As an aside I just wanna say thank you so much for posting this and putting your work out there! I'm trying to get into the swing of things to write more (and more specifically some Sayid/Shannon fic) as well, and it's so inspiring to see other creators doing the same thing even after lost has ended like sooo long ago and for a character that was comparatively not as liked as the other characters (even though i LOVE her with all my heart your honor!!!!). This was such a lovely read and again you nailed all the emotions so well.
