Three’s Always a Crowd

Chapter 2: Need Him Just as Bad, Freckles.

Hey gang, second chapter of my story is up 🎉

I already feel less stressed about posting this time around so thanks for anyone who's expressed interest in this story. Hope this second chapter pleases you as much as the first. This time, we focus on Freckles and James. My little meow meows, both so in love with Jack lol (understandably).

This is one of two chapters that won't have a track linked, so instead here is the actual Three’s Always a Crowd playlist. Hope you enjoy ❤️ It's been giving me life, I imagine it's the playlist these guys listen to when they're together. Except for one track (Hey Now - London Grammar), all of these were released at the time of this story.

I still put it in because it came out like a month after lol.

Have a nice weekend, and thanks for reading! 🤍

@lost-fanfic-promoter

*half chokes while clearing throat* hu-hum, sorry, is it just me or is it thirsty in here?

Hihi, I have a doubt, do you have any schedule plan for when you will be releasing you fic's chapters?

No pressure, just curious!

Heyyy thanks for the ask and interest in my silly depressed story 🥰🤪

I announced (but don't remember where) a schedule of posting twice a month, and I intend to keep to it!

It's easy to say now because I have some backlog I'm reediting for chapters 2 to 6, but the last three are just outline at this point.

I'll try and keep people updated if for some reason I can't post twice a month as intended.

This also means chapter two should be dropping end of next week 🎉

It'll focus on Kate and James' POV and will move us closer to the actual smut I'm promising 😇

Can't wait to keep sharing. Thanks for asking !

Chapter 1: Has It Really Been Five Years?

Happy Valentine's everyone ♥ To celebrate love, my fanfic about love, passion, grief, pain and acceptance is finally OUT ! I can't believe I'm posting my writings online, 10yo me would be so proud I'm crying for her 😭

This is chapter one of nine and I hope to post twice a month. This is so close to my heart I feel like I'm handing it to the world. But it's worth it if it can make me exchange about my favourite blorbos.

Warning: The story has spoilers for the whole show. Read at your own discretion.

As you'll see in the notes, this story has been thought with a playlist in mind. Some songs actually appear within the story, so to get in the mood before reading, check out the song I've linked 🎵

Heyyy

Wanted to know some of your hcs about Jack and Sawyer, or other Lost characters uvu

Heyyyyy ! Thanks for the ask 💗

As you didn't specify NSFW or SFW, I'll keep it clean (I absolutely love NSFW but don't want to subject you to my filthy filthy brain if thats not what you had in mind haha).

I'm going to be shameless and link this to my upcoming story:

Here's my headcanon of the Jack/Sawyer/Kate relationship before the events of The End (my fic starts post-Island).

OK, LET'S YAP.

As any good polyamorous person will tell you, a triad is composed of four interpersonal relationships, three for each duo, and the relationship the three hold together.

Jack & Kate

It's nearly canon but the writers never went all in because they wanted to keep stirring the love triangle, even after Ajira 316 landed (still mad about that).

Jack's basically been in love with Kate since the moment he saw her (who can blame him???) but like the dense mf he sometimes is, he took him years to accept she loved him too, really.

Her wilder side was never something he felt the need to tame. He loves her for who she is but, most importantly:

Who she makes him wanna be.

(To be clear, Jack's already good. He just doesn't believe it).

Kate sees the good in Jack and while the show sometimes wrote her to be cold towards Jack when he was struggling (I'm thinking about the O6 era when Jack was relapsing), I feel like she was doing it mostly to protect herself. She never stopped loving Jack either and hoping he'd get over his demons so they could truly be together.

When Jack said "You didn't like the old me Kate" I am like YEA SHE DID SHE JUST HAD TO PROTECT HER HEART AND AARON'S 🥺

So these two are just made for each other but they have to get past their respective demons and be transparent about them with each other (something Jack hadn't learned before coming back to the Island).

Their last kiss in The End represents all of that.

Sawyer & Kate

Those two really are the ones that nearly made it, in my head. They had something real, and the phase of Kate in the barracks in S4 when she thought she might be pregnant cimented the idea that she had real feelings for him, while still holding feelings for Jack (these people are so poly 😅).

Sawyer also had feelings for her, that's actually just plain canon, but of course they faded when they got separated for three years.

Him being with Juliet actually taught him how to be in a mature transparent relationship.

And while during season 6, Sawyer's just mourning the whole time, I like to think that his past relationship prepared him to be open to love with Kate once they made it back and everything settled.

Jack & Sawyer

My head is filled with off Island canon for these two, but on Island it's pretty straightforward.

Jack, before leaving in S4, was always on alert when Sawyer was there because, even though he felt like they could have been friends, he never could read him.

Actually the warming up to him tragically starts a bit before the Oceanic 6 make it off. If James didn't have to jump from the helicopter, they would have been fast friends (then more I hope 🫣) after making it to the States.

Sawyer is definitely so smitten with Jack from the beginning, it's so evident I feel it's near canon 🤣 and, again, WHO could blame him? He just wants his doc to doctor him 🥵

However, it's not like he was openly thirsting for Jack. The pull he's felt towards him has always been out of his control and something he had a hard time apprehending.

His school girl antics with Jack in the first seasons were just the manifestation of his crush in a way he himself couldn't grasp.

ALSO: Did you know in the script notes of The End, we were supposed to get a huge hug between those two when they're saying goodbye on the Island? We got ROBBED!

Jack, Sawyer & Kate

This relationship has only been explored furtively in some of their minds, but none of them have actually considered it as something that could take place.

Kate thought about it once or twice after they first crashed because she's the one who actually toyed with feelings for both these men. So it was more like "Shit would be great if i didnt have to chose."

Good news Freckles, in my world, you don’t !

Sawyer has no experience with men but he always found them attractive. However he hasn't really let himself even imagine what could be so the perspective of the trio might have made one appearance or two in desperate fantasies, late at night on the beach, but that's it.

Jack has experimented with men in med school and liked it but because he's so consumed with Kate, he hasn't really looked at Sawyer that way. Also Jack's problem isn't the man part, it's the "gotta share" part. Jack's obviously not going to have an easy time with this, and that's why as of now he never contemplated it.

Yet everything could change...

Now shameless plug: I pick all of this up in the fanfic I'm posting this week ! Can't wait to share what's been invading my brain with the world 🤍

Ok sorry this is so long. I feel like writing about these guys makes me go crazy, I can't talk about Lost without going into long ramblings. If you made it through, here's your reward, a cute photo showing all of their chemistry, I cant deal.

I WANT THEM HAPPY AND THEY'LL BE HAPPY TOGETHER!

LOST really said here's a love triangle with two men who, when they're not busy standing up to each other in a really homoerotic way, down right make googley eyes at each other.

When they're not busy doing that, they're making googley eyes at the girl who, herself, keeps going back and forth between the two because, well, look at them...

So tell me LOST, how is that even a triangle and not just a damn circle?

Three’s Always a Crowd

Chapter 4: Well, We're Gonna Have to Remedy That.

Omg guys, another one in the books. I'm so happy to be reintroducing chapters with music, I've been listening to this track so much. I just love where it appears in the story and can't wait to have you guys' feedback.

Writing without pressure has been feeling so fun, the juices have been flowing, and the long weekend just helped me power through and finish this chapter.

I missed posting, missed sharing the story. So there you go:

Another really smut-heavy (they're pretty much all going to be from now on 🫣) chapter to feed the love story and, in this case, to highlight the ease these three babies ended up finding with each other in time 💞

Thanks to anyone who's been following the story, hope this one pleases you as well!

@lost-fanfic-promoter

Right?

People think "Oh these two guys just fought about Kate!"

First of all, they never fought about her. And while they both had feelings for her, the whole trio's dynamic revolves around the fact that both Kate and Sawyer just want Jack's attention and he's too dense (or, ya know, neurodivergent) to notice either of them is flirting with him.

(To be fair, Sawyer himself doesn't realise he's flirting with him. But he is. Oh, he is.)

Imo, you don't understand Jack/Kate/Sawyer relationship if you don't acknowledge Jack as the apex of the love triangle. I know, I know, the show does its best to make you think that's Kate the apex but, really, it's Jack.

Everybody on that island is a little in love with Jack but Jack. Jack hates himself lol.

And they lived happily ever after
