[hopelessfangirl]

(Ever so slightly late, MC! At least it's still your birthday somewhere! =P)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARICLAIRE invisiblelove!



Happily
A fluffy Jack/Sawyer soundtrack mix

Okay, so this mix is epic, because not only is it a fanmix, but it also contains a theme: only songs from films and comes with matching drabbles. This was meant to be invisiblelove's gift for lostsquee's Luau 2008, but now it's a combined Queen offering/birthday gift for my bestest friend in the whole wide world. ♥ MC, I hope you like it, and I hope all you other Jawyer fans out there enjoy it too. =)









1) I Wanna Hold Your Hand - T.V. Carpio (Across The Universe)
Oh please say to me
you'll let me be your man
and please say to me
you'll let me hold your hand
Now, let me hold your hand
I want to hold your hand

And when I touch you
I feel happy inside
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide

* * *

"Here," Jack said, extending a hand out to Sawyer.

Sawyer paused momentarily and stared at the outstretched palm in front of him, then wearily placed his own hand in it. Sawyer tried to ignore the slight shiver that went down his spine at the contact as his arm was yanked in Jack's direction.

"I need to change your bandages," Jack said tersely. His grip was firm, and despite the hot weather conditions, it gave Sawyer a pleasant warming sensation that encompassed his whole arm.

They did their usual dance; Jack trying to be the bigger man, Sawyer trying to cut him down, knowing no other way to communicate with him. After questioning Jack's motives for tending to him, Sawyer finally hit a nerve.

"I'm here because no one else wants anything to do with ya," snapped Jack.

It took Sawyer a few seconds to recover. Then, with a smirk, he retaliated. "She does," he said.

For a second Sawyer thought he succeeded in making Jack jealous over him. Both men smirked at each other as Jack gathered his medical supplies. Finally Jack stood to leave. "Change your own bandages," he said bitterly.

Sawyer's face fell. His arm started to tingle with chilliness again as he watched the doctor walk away.

2) Let My Love Open The Door - Steve Carell & Dane Cook (Dan In Real Life)
I have the only key to your heart
I can stop you falling apart
Release yourself from misery
Only one thing's gonna set you free
That's my love
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
To your heart

Jack must have given Boone a full unit of blood. He hadn't slept all night, and the confrontation with Locke at the burial had taken the last of his energy (and, perhaps, sanity). Jack was running on adrenaline now.

Sayid, Kate and Sun all tried to talk some sense into him; that he couldn't do anything about Locke's secrets, lies and negligence until he rested for a while and recharged his batteries. Jack knew they were right, but his fatigue and stubbornness clouded his

judgement from any rational behaviour at this point.

"Doc," Sawyer called from the edge of the jungle, motioning with his head for Jack to come over. Jack, Sayid, Kate and Sun all looked up at him. "I got this," Sawyer said to the other three, with a pointed look at Kate, who nodded as they all retreated.

Jack and Sawyer made several steps toward each other until they stood toe-to-toe. Jack stood with his hands on his hips looking at Sawyer expectantly. Without a word, Sawyer looped his arms through Jack's and pulled him into his embrace. A moment later, Jack relaxed against Sawyer and put his arms around him in return, resting his forehead on Sawyer's shoulder. He let out a heavy sigh.

"I'm sorry," said Sawyer. Jack nodded against his shoulder and hugged him tighter. Sawyer cradled the back of Jack's head with his palm, stroking it gently. "You did all that you could, Doc. Hell, you even did more than that, if it's possible."

"It wasn't enough," Jack responded in monotone.

"Well what the hell's considered 'enough'? You running into the jungle after Locke, probably getting nowhere, and killing yourself in the process?" Sawyer replied. He clutched Jack's shoulders and held the doctor out from him at arm's length, looking him in the face.

"You ain't in any kind of state to be playing Tarzan of the Jungle."

For the first time in 36 sleepless hours, Jack cracked a smile. He looked up at Sawyer and nodded his compliance.

"Good," Sawyer said. "Let's go in the shade, get you some water."

Half an hour later, Jack was passed out in Kate's tent, his drugged water at his feet and Sawyer giving Kate an affirming nod from a distance.

3) That's How You Know - Amy Adams (Enchanted)
Well does he leave a little note to tell you you are on his mind?
Send you yellow flowers when the sky is grey? Hey!
He'll find a new way to show you, a little bit everyday
That's how you know, that's how you know,
He's your love!

* * *

It started on the island when Jack would find tropical flower petals on his makeshift pillow on the nights that he slept alone. Of all people, he never would have pegged Sawyer for a romantic.

Jack would retaliate by leaving love notes in Sawyer's stash. He knew that would fluster Sawyer, who did not know whether to be angry that someone always found his secret hiding spot, or flattered that Jack returned his romantic gestures.

Ten years down the road, Jack still receives a flower petal on his tray whenever Sawyer makes him breakfast in bed. Sawyer still opens his books to find his bookmarks replaced with love notes written in doctor's scrawl.

4) Anyone Else But You - Ellen Page & Michael Cera (Juno)
You're a part-time lover and a full-time friend
The monkey on your back is the latest trend
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

We both have shiny happy fits of rage
I want more fans, you want more stage
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

* * *

Before any furniture had been purchased for their new house, Sawyer turned to Jack and said, "We're getting a ping pong table."

Jack was never very particular about the decor of his house. While he liked the place to look classy and didn't live as a slob, he also was not fussy about what lampshades optimized the lighting in a room or what thread count his bed sheets were. When Jack had been married, he let Sarah take care of all that stuff.

A ping pong table certainly did not scream sophistication, but as soon Sawyer had mentioned it, Jack could faintly feel that familiar warmth of sand under his feet, the breeze on his skin and that scruffy face smirking back at him on the opposite side of a table that

stood on bamboo legs. They never did finish the first annual Craphole Island Ping Pong Championship. Jack had been in the lead and he knew Sawyer was just itching to even the score. Or at least try to.

"That good with you?" Sawyer asked.

Jack grinned and responded with an immediate, "Yes."

5) By The Sea - Helena Bonham Carter (Sweeney Todd)
You know what I'd like to do, Mr. Todd?
What I dream
If the business stays as good?
Where I'd really like to go,
In a year or so?
Don't you want to know?
Do you really want to know?

By the sea, Mr. Todd,
that's the life I covet,
By the sea, Mr. Todd,
Ooh, I know you'd love it!
You and me, Mr. T,
we could be alone
In a house wot we'd almost own,
Down by the sea!
Wouldn't that be smashing?

It'll be so quiet,
That who'll come by it,
Except a seagull
Hoo, hoo!
We shouldn't try it,
Though, 'til it's legal for two-hoo!
But a seaside wedding could be devised,
Me rumpled bedding legitimized!
Me eyelids'll flutter,
I'll turn into butter,
The moment I mutter I do-hoo!

* * *

You would think a couple of years stranded on a desert island would make Sawyer sick of the ocean, but this was not so.

In fact, now more than ever he wanted to spend the rest of his days throwing back a beer while sitting seaside in a lawn chair and reading a good book. (Only, this time with a beach house and a car and the rest of the real world readily available, just in case.)

Growing up, there had always been something missing from this fantasy, though Sawyer didn't know it at the time. He grew up sleeping in trailers, cars, the odd motel room and other confined spaces. That explained the desire to live by the ocean, where two vast worlds

of freedom lay on either side of the shore. Sawyer also knew for certain that he did not want to scrape by and rob Peter to pay Paul like he had for most of his youth. That explained the beach house; a solid, reliable place to call his own.

What the adolescent Sawyer had forgotten in this fantasy was the person who would sit beside him, in a matching lawn chair, sharing those beers with him, reading an equally good book. Now that the adult Sawyer had found that person, he couldn't get this part of the

fantasy out of his head. He wanted to wake up and watch the sunlight shine through the window, onto Jack's illuminated face. He wanted to barbeque on the deck wearing his "Kiss the Cook" apron, knowing Jack would willingly oblige. He wanted to make love to Jack in the sand.

"Hey Doc?"

Jack was sitting on the sofa. He looked up from his book.

"I always wanted to live by the ocean..."

6) Grow Old With You - Adam Sandler (The Wedding Singer)
I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches
build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink
Oh, I could be the man who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you

* * *

"Jack?"

"Yeah?"

"Do I weigh too much?"

"Mmpph... no, I can manage."

"Yoppppppp. Probably shoulda stopped three whiskeys ago."

"Yes, you probably should have."

"S'alright. Got my Doctor Charming Prince to take my boots off and my jacket off... and other things..."

"WHOA, okay, save it for the bedroom, buddy. C'mon, up the stairs, we're almost there."

"...Jesus, I just counted and there are EIGHTY THREE fucking stairs! Why did we buy a house with so many stairs??"

"For the exercise. Okay, here's the bed."

"Mmmmmm... s'fluffy. Hey you, c'mere."

"Ooof. Okay, you spilled beer all over shirt, we gotta get that changed."

"No no no, okay, stay here though. Hmmm, your beard is scratchy."

"It's just a five o'clock shadow, hun."

"Hehe, you called me 'hun.'"

"Mmm."

"Doc?"

"Yeah?"

"Don't move, okay? Stay here forever and ever, and ever and.... and ever... and...ev....ever.... zzzzzz...."

"I will. Good night, hun."

All you have to do is smile that smile

AND EVERYTHING IS JUST EXPLODING WITH SAP! BUT IT DOESN'T COME ACROSS AS INSINCERE! JUST SWEET AND PERFECT, JUST HOW I LIKE IT! AND YOU EVEN MADE SURE THEY WERE TOGETHER IN THE FUTURE. OOOOOOOOOH MY GOODNESS.

And O HAI CLAIKENS AND JAWYER!!!!!!!1111111111111

<3333333333333 I can seriously tell how much work you must have put into this, and it certainly paid off. It is SO gorgeous. LOVE. And the way you even took into account all sorts of little things that you knew I would love like songs from awesome movies, Claikens (!!!) ;), epic saptastic joy, drabble-y glee...

I must have saved lots of puppies or babies (or puppies AND babies) in a former life to deserve having you in my life. Seriously. I love you so much and I honestly don't even KNOW what I would do without you in my life, but I know the glee levels would go down about 1000000%. ;)

I couldn't have asked for a better cap to my birthday, lovely. Thank you thank you thank you <3333333333333333333333333333333333333

EEEEEEEEEEEE NOVELLLLLLLLLLLLLL ♥

Hun, I am SO glad you love this! Like I told you, it's been in the works for ages and I meant to get it done before summer ended, but it kept getting put off and put off. The drabbles were the hardest part cause writing just doesn't come naturally to me, but I'm happy they didn't suck! =P

Heeee, I definitely tailored this mix to you. I basically made a list of things that you love and then tried to incorporate them into something Jawyery. ;) Luckily a lot of it fell into place!

Awww hun, I love you so much! You bring so much joy and happiness into MY life that I'm only happy to do something like this for you. ♥ I honestly don't know what I'd do without you.

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

[siluria]

It's a fantastic idea, and I love all the drabbles and the how they reflect the images - great manips BTW! Love the ping-pong one, I found myself grinning with Jack with that one :)

[hopelessfangirl.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ♥ I made the manips first and tried to tailor the drabbles to them since it would've been much harder to do it the other way! I'm happy it worked out, though, and I'm glad you like it. =)

[sheron]

This is neat.

Can I ask a strange question? Where is the "let my love open the door" hug from? I can't remember the episode it's from. Thank you!

[hopelessfangirl.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Actually, that image is a manip. The screencap of Sawyer is from the episode when Jack, Kate, et al return to camp with Juliet ("One of Them," I believe, from S3). He's actually hugging Kate, but I did a little tweaking.
