Title: If I'm Just Bad News, Then You're a Liar
Rating: R
Pairing: Sawyer/Juliet
Word Count: 1,400
Warnings: S5 spoilers including mentioned canon character death
Prompt: For hendercats for Lost HoHoHo at lostsquee who asked for, "Sawyer/Juliet in New Otherton, set sometime during the three years BEFORE the O6's return. Inclusion of denim or pastry would be a nice bonus."
Summary: They're just two broken people trying to accept how well their pieces fit together.

Author's Note: I just wanted to comment on how surprised I was that I chose this prompt when I was also offered, "Slashy Hatch!fic sometime during S2 when our Lostaways were pushing the button; Sawyer/Jack, though going slightly AU to have Boone be alive and pairing him with either Jack or Sawyer has loads of possibilities. If none of that works, Jack/Sayid would be okay, too." I went with the het, guys, what's wrong with me? XP Lots of thanks to siluria for the beta and the fic is actually posted at lostsquee so fake cut is fake.
