Rating/warnings: G
Genre: future fic
Character/s: Hurley, Charlie
Spoilers: up to Something Nice Back Home
Summary: Charlie and Hurley play a game together at Santa Rosa.
Disclaimer: Lost isn’t mine. Now that my muse is back, expect a smattering of fics from me but probably nothing major. The show just isn’t doing all that much for me at the moment.

( The atmosphere is tense, almost tangible as the two of them stare down at the small pile of coins between them. Which of them will be the first to crack? They can’t stay like this forever but the decision has to be made before they play… )

Character/s: Sawyer/Claire friendship, mentions of Charlie
Spoilers: set just after Eggtown
Summary: The morning that Kate leaves the barracks, Claire comes to Sawyer to ask if he knows where she’s gone.
Disclaimer: Lost isn’t mine. Deal with it.
Author’s Note: I feel so WEIRD writing Conmama! I’ve only written it once before so hopefully I’ve got a fairly decent grasp on the characters, please let me know what you think!

( Claire looks at him with an unfathomable expression then. She doesn’t really look sad but Sawyer’s seen her when she’s happy and smiling and she’s certainly not happy now. She’s not busting out in tears or anything but he can tell that she’s melancholy by the flatness of her manner, the forced quality in her smile. )
