title: Remember Babylon? (15)
rating: NC-17
summary: "She had to grow up sometime". When Charles Widmore attempts an island coup, the only safe place for Alex Linus is far, far away. With Richard Alpert overseeing her safety, everything should have been fine, but nothing Ben wants ever works out precisely as he had planned, and even for Richard, things do not stay entirely the same. Alex/Richard romance, along with a few other pairings, island history and Richard back-story. AU, utterly.
pairings: Richard/Alex mainly, mentions of several others, particularly rare pairings
author's note: Inspired by any number of Godless things, among them possessiveness and Nabokov, fickle weather, Oscar Wilde, Radiohead, world history and the Marquis de Sade.
author's note for this chapter: ...apologies for frequently lengthy absenteeism.
warnings: semi- graphic sexuality, some violence and character deaths throughout.

Title: You or Your Memory
Pairing: Sawyer/Juliet
Total word count: ~16,100
Disclaimer: I don’t own Lost or Sawyer, Juliet, or any of the other characters either
Rating: PG-13? I don’t know. There’s some bad language.
Summary: Post-“The Incident.” Sawyer remembers everything.

But she’s not here, never will be, and all the imaginary conversations in the world aren’t going to bring her back into his life. And what kills him is that that’s exactly how she wanted it.
