I have to admit, at first the idea of the pairing scared me away (says the girl who's written [three-years-later!]Alex/Sayid). But this is a brilliant insight into Jack crashing and burning on the island - no pun intended - and the egotistical, self-destructive ways he'd deal with it. I can also buy this as a portrait of a psychologically damaged Alex (and let's face it, there's no way she isn't in one way or another) acting out against her background, even if Ben's no longer in authority to disapprove. I do sort of hope for her sake that contraception was at hand, yes? *Flees angst.*

Seriously, though: this is good, insightful, disturbing work.
