Since you're gone my empty arms have nothing left to hold

Took me a while but I did manage to start with this. Yep, Nano novel here! Forgive me for the rather long header this round, next time it'll be way more slim since I'll have everything established here.

Title: I've Been Everywhere 1/14
Rating: PG13 for now, will reach NC17 overall
Characters/Pairings overall: Sawyer and Jack throughout all of this; mostly everyone else referenced in the prequel of this one or not is going to show up. Eventually Jack/Sawyer; implies past Jack/Sarah and Sawyer/Cassidy, will also include other het pairings which will be noted at their respective chapter.
Characters for this part: Sawyer, Jack, Arzt.
Word counting: 3890 this part, around 50000 overall.
Disclaimer: Lost is not mine and all the folk songs used here are not mine.
Summary: Sawyer is a rambling musician during the Dust Bowl, Jack a former L.A. doctor traveling with him.
Thanks to: elliotsmelliot for the great beta job for which I can't be grateful enough and to fosfomifira for the title. I'd still be searching for one otherwise.
A/N: this is a direct sequel to I Ain't Got No Home, where Sawyer was a musician during the Depression; it (almost) directly follows from where that story ended and it presumes it entirely, even if I tried to make this as free from the other story as I could. I hope to post a part every two or three days, Christmas permitting and if I manage to do the editing as I hope. The only direct referenced song this part is Who's Gonna Shoe Your Pretty Feet by Woody Guthrie. All the places referenced here really exist, at least now. But they should have existed then, too. ;)

Part II, Part III, Part IV, Part V, Part VI, Part VII, Part VIII, Part IX, Part X, Part XI, Part XII, Part XIII, Part XIV

( It has been a fairly decent week since he sort of picked Jack up in Springfield, or since they happened to be both headed to nowhere, or whatever you could call it; he hasn’t traveled with someone for the last seven years and while he never was one to long for company, not really, it has been good up to now. )

So, this thing basically boils down to the fact that I owed a Boone/Charlie for a table I'm almost finished with and I didn't want to do another afterlife one. Especially because I've got three dead!Boone bunnies to take care of already. So I decided that it was going to be S1, both of them alive and totally angst free. And as soon as I finally manage to get Boone not to angst, Charlie starts angsting on me all over the place and I had to throw Arzt in for good measure. So in the end it wasn't totally angst free but it's all light stuff and it's S1 and no one dies. Good enough right?

Title: The Infamous Pen Business
Characters/Pairing: Boone/Charlie, Arzt special appearance
Rating: PG13 mostly for some language
Disclaimer: Still not mine, though at this point they could give me Boone since I've probably stuck with him more than the writers cared to.
Word count: 4130
Spoilers: Based more or less from The Moth until some time before Special. But everybody has seen those, right?
Summary: Boone really, really hates pens.
A/N: for 12_stories #11, questions. Even if the title might suggest that, it's not crack. It's only plain light stuff. Gets back on the fact that I'm convinced that Boone loves Simon and Garfunkel and well, I know that Charlie didn't get his Tricia Tanaka shirt from where I made him get it here but allow me some poetic license ;) also, I think I totally fail at writing Artz. But I swear I tried. Oh, and I assumed that Claire kept some goth music taste even after turning back to blonde. Forgive me if I went with the only sort of metal group I'm acquainted with. Nominated for Best Slash Fic at lost_fic_awards, June 2008.



( Boone calls it the infamous pen business by now. He can’t seem to get away from that and does he hate it much? Yes, he does. Very much. )
