Title: I Spy
Character: Richard
Word Count: 324
Rating: PG-13
Summary: For the prompt Richard, costume shop, at thequillstation 's SPOOKY Lost Fic Battle.
Things didn't usually get to Richard, but the inaccuracy of most of the costumes irritated him. The only thing worse than the inaccurate costumes were the accurate ones. All the different styles through the years and the memories-good and bad-that went with them. Richard gave the historical section a wide berth.
He shouldn't be in the biggest costume shop in Portland, shouldn't be off the Island at all. Richard never expected such frivolity from Ben. Halloween, dress up,
Title: Magic Potion
Pairing: Ben/Jack

Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: Though S3
Summary: Jack is given an experimental injection instead of a tranquilizer in the Hydra. The effects are unpredictable.
A/N: I wrote this as a Halloween story, but I don't know if it turned out too scary.
"...shouldn't be reacting like this."
A woman's voice woke him. Jack could hear them talking, but he was groggy and everything hurt. What the hell was going on?
"I'm sorry, Ben. I got the wrong bottle, one of the Dharma experimentals was mixed in with the normal tranqu

Characters: Jack, Ben, Richard, Jacob, Hurley
Word Count: 2260
Spoilers: All seasons, follows fics Unmake, Remake, Rerun, Revenge, and Vacation, Variation
Summary: Jack takes Ben out for Chinese...sort of.
Author's Notes: More Jack for alliecat8 at lostsquee 's Luau, now that I stopped being distracted by shiny things long enough to finish it! Posted here for archive.
Generally, chasing a white rabbit was a metaphor for something else. The Island had apparently decided Jack was due a little literalism.

Summary: So Jack got his reset...and he got his reset...and he got his reset...and he got his reset... *skips a few* ...if only he could get it to stop.
Author's Notes: Inspired by a few too many episodes of Endless Eight, title is a Chrono Trigger reference. Late for alemyrddin at lostsquee 's Luau--hope it's close enough to
Title: Vacation, Variation
Rating: PG
Characters: Jack, Richard, mentions of Jacob
Word Count: 843
Spoilers: Through S5 finale
Summary: Jack needs a break from his job, Richard might need the same.
Author's Notes: For joyyjpg at lostsquee 's Luau. Jack and Richard on the beach. Sequel to Unmake, Remake, and Rerun, Revenge, should be somewhat readable without them though.
Jack knew when he took the job it wouldn't be easy, but that if he was lucky the good things would make the bad worthwhile. The past few jobs had very definitely run towards the bad.
Offering food to a starving girl so she could feed her family seemed straightforwar
Title: Rerun, Revenge
Rating: PG
Characters: Sawyer, Jack, Jacob, mentions of John
Word Count: 931
Spoilers: Through S5 finale
Summary: Sawyer gets surprise information between cons.
Author's Notes: For invisiblelove at lostsquee 's Luau. Some Jack and Sawyer interaction, post island reset. Makes more sense if read as a sequel to Unmake, Remake. Hope you like it!
"If my foot gets run over one more time..." Sawyer cursed under his breath. Of course the day he'd decided to live it up a little in a nice hotel, he'd ended up in the middle of a cripple convention. He gripped the handle of his luggage a little tighter, visualizing the cas
Title: Unmake, Remake

Rating: G

Spoilers: Through the S5 finale.
Summary: Preventing the crash has wider effect through time than Jack could have imagined.
Author's Notes: Assumes a complete reset after the bomb. Barely on time for emiliglia, at lostsquee's Luau
For a long time everything seemed to be a white nothing. Slowly, the sound of waves crept into his ears. Then the sensation of sand, wet and grainy beneath his back. Finally, his eyes opened, staring into a familiar blue sky he had hoped to never see again.
