Title: Do Unto Others
Rating: PG
Summary: Claire believes in good karma. She believes that if you do good things, good will come back to you. Sawyer rolls his eyes when she tells him that.
Disclaimer: I don't own Lost. At all. I wish, but alas...
Author's Note: For Queen [info]toestastegood, who asked for crack!pairings. Well...this isn't so much crack as it is UC. And it's really more of a friendship piece than anything. I wish I could have come up with something more imaginitive for you.



Claire believes in good karma. She believes that if you do good things, good will come back to you. Sawyer rolls his eyes when she tells him that. She rolls her eyes back. Their friendship can be tenuous at times, but she’s learned that if she returns his sarcasm with sass, he just smiles and shakes his head at her like he’s so much more worldly than she is.

And maybe he’s right. Maybe the bad things are going to find you no matter what you do in life. Maybe, pushing people away is the only way to truly protect yourself.

She fails to mention, and he chooses to ignore, however, that he has yet to do that with her. That her kindness, even in the face of his gruff exterior, is the reason that they’ve developed the kinship that they have. She thinks there will probably come a day when he will try to force her from his life, to detatch himself from her before she can do so to him.

When it does, she thinks she’ll just smile, and roll her eyes, like she always does.

Oh, Claire. She's so adorable. You've captured her perfectly here.

I personally love Claire/Sawyer in any form, and so I pretty much loved this. I love the idea of them having some kind of friendship.

Maybe, pushing people away is the only way to truly protect yourself.

Sad, but true in a way.

Beautiful!

I love the idea of them having some kind of friendship.

So do I. :) I'm glad you liked this. Thanks for reading. ♥

Oh, that is so sweet! I love friendship fics, they're so adorable - and, really, they're fairly rare seeing as most of fandom (including myself) is usually more pairing-focused.

Even though it's technically from Claire's POV, it's so about Sawyer. Everything about him is so painfully right, about how he pushes people away and his reasons for doing so. People like Claire and Hurley are perfect for pushing past those defences: he doesn't seem to have much experience with genuine niceness, no ulterior motive. Sad, really.

Sad in an awesome way when it makes you write this, though. That final line is so adorable and so them!

Thank you very, very much. ♥

Aw, yay! :D I'm so glad you liked it. I don't do many friendship fics myself, but it's certainly something I'm interested in. ♥

Hmm, I like this. Sawyer/Claire. Hmmm... I must be in some kind of weird het-friendly mood these days.

The friendship here is quite adorable, though I wouldn't call it schmoopy. IC and sweet, though. Lovely.

See, you already know I'd love to see Claire-Sun-Sawyer friendships..we already do to a point, I think they all are good for each other and their temperment matches.

So you know I LOVE THIS!! Sawyer thinks he has them all snowed, but you know, they all have his number. Which can be a very good thing.

I think they all are good for each other and their temperment matches.

I do too. :) That's why I have so much fun pairing both of them against Sawyer. Something about it feels right. ♥ I'm glad you liked this, hun! Thanks for reading.

I love Claire, but not always on the show they give her a personality. Here, however, she is kind, and maybe naive, but she feels real, and she can really be a person whom Sawyer would relate to. I think she can bring out his more relaxed side, even if he would hide it under sarcasm, of course.

Thanks for this. I liked it!
