Title: Façade
Rating: PG-13
Summary: He needs to stay as calm as he can; angry, but still level-headed. Sarcastic, but from the corner of the room, where he’s sure he won’t break another plate and make more threats.
Disclaimer: I do not own Lost. At all. I wish but alas...
Author's Note: For Lost Riffs at [info]lostsquee: Day Seven: Drabble Day. Set during 'Every Man for Himself'.



Jack is a lot of things. Confused. Scared. Angry.

He points sarcasm in every direction that he’s confronted from, because he needs to keep himself in check. He needs to stay in control, the only control he has over the situation: control over himself.

He needs to stay as calm as he can; angry, but still level-headed. Sarcastic, but from the corner of the room, where he’s sure he won’t break another plate and make more threats.

That’s the plan. And it works.

Until he hears Sawyer scream.

Until he sees Juliet covered in blood.

Fuck the plan.

"What did you do to him?!"

Perfect. I has everything. Abolutely everything. Of the turmoil Jack went thrugh, the drama with Juliet, and then all the other implications. It takes a genius to write something as perfect.

Love it - perfectly captured Jack's tightly wired need for control and how it all springs loose when he hears Sawyer in trouble.

I'm not crazy about 'Every Man for Himself' as an episode, but that moment is one of my favorites of the whole season. It really goes to show you how much -- no matter how many times they butt heads -- Jack really does care for Sawyer. Especially how angry he gets at Juliet when he sees her with blood on her scrubs.

I haven't written about the moment much, so I decided to give it a shot. :) I'm glad you liked it.

This is great - you captured a great moment, if not the best one, from that epi. Good job :D
