Eeee THANK YOUUU! :D I'm so thrilled that you liked it this much seriously. I kind of went like, 'let's see how many tropes I manage in this', but it was kind of fun to plot it out. ;) And The Stand is my favorite non-DT from King and kind of my model for apocalyptic things, so yay if we're on the same page. ;)

Seriously, I'm so glad it worked for you. I had never really written Charlotte before but going with Daniel would have meant not being subtle with the whole whatever happened, happened eeriness so it's totally awesome to hear you liked her in this. And eeee, haircutting is so a favorite trope of mine too. You can never have enough, right?

And aw, really, I'm totally flattered now. Especially since I write those two once in a blue moon and I know how much you like them so I just wanted to get them as right as possible. (Also, piano!Daniel is a favorite Lost trope of mine in itself. Aw.) Also I was hoping that Desmond appearing would work for you too especially because I just didn't want to leave them totally alone in the end, but it was also serving my whatever happened, happened purposes.

And please never apologize for long comments and actually, sorry for answering so late. *kicks RL* Thank you again, I'm so really glad you liked it! <3333333333333
