Wild flowers


Juliet smells strangely familiar: sweet and spicy, like the wild flowers that can only be found here, beautiful and poisonous. She smells like a memory that slipped between Claire's fingers a lifetime ago: there are so many things Claire still doesn't remember.

"Were you with me-" -Juliet was their pregnancy doctor, wasn't she?- "when Ethan took me?"

Juliet shakes her head, offering a soothing smile. "No. We didn't even know."

She turns away and Claire breathes in the scent of her hair, sweet and spicy, beautiful and poisonous. Her throat tightens in a knot: why would Juliet lie to her?

Ooh. Very nice. Poor Claire. Beautiful and poisonous; I like that image. Claire's instincts are so right.

I know! I'm loving Claire more and more these days. I guess Juliet is beautiful and poisnous, isn't she?? I'm glad you liked it! Thank you so much, hon!

Ooooh, very nice! Lovely take on the prompt. It's so short but it really has some meaning and conveys quite a lot of things, especially knowing the whole story. Poor Claire, indeed :(

I think Juliet was telling the truth when she said that the kidnapping was all Ethan's but well, Alex was there so... ;) Thank you so much for the comment. I'm very happy you liked it!

"Beautiful and poisonous" is such a great way of describing it; you can almost smell it yourself. A really nice take on the prompt.

Wow. Thank you so much! *blushes* I'm happy you liked it.

I like it, but I also think Juliet was telling the truth when she said it was all Ethan's idea. It only makes this more interesting :)
lenina20: Juliet[info]lenina20 on March 30th, 2008 04:24 pm (UTC)
Yeah, I always believed Juliet. It's one of my weakness. ;) But it's true that Ethan wasn't alone, so...;) Thanks a lot for the comment. I'm happy you liked it.

I love Julit too, and I love that she lies, and I love that the lies are just so easy. I don't always believe her, but I always know that when she lies, it's not because she wants to.

OMG, me encanta. Muy corto pero muy bien escrito, tiene la longitud exacta. Hermosa y venenosa, ésa es una buena forma de describir a Juliet. Siempre guardándose un as debajo de la manga.

Scent is a very strong trigger to memory, so using that in this is actually a wonderful idea. Plus she actually forgot most of her time with Ethan and the Others so it's completely plausible.

Great fic!
lenina20: Juliet[info]lenina20 on March 30th, 2008 10:29 pm (UTC)
Thank you so much! I'm fascinated by the idea that Juliet wasn't completely lying and that she indeed saved Claire and her baby and you know, took care of her. Thank you so so much. It's great that you thought it possible :D:D:D Thanks, hun!

Perfect! Beautiful and poisonous -- definitely Juliet. I've always believed Juliet when she says she wasn't involved (I always trust her even though she's lied quite a lot, lol), but it would be kind of interesting if we learn that she was there, like in her or Claire's flashbacks sometime.

Anyway, great fic!

God, I hope so. I've written about that a few times already, because their storylines are tangled after all. Thank you so much. It's amazing that you liked it! Thanks!

Why would she lie???? Oh, let me count the ways. You're kicking ass with these drabbles! Way to go.
lenina20: Juliet[info]lenina20 on March 31st, 2008 01:16 pm (UTC)
You are evil. My poor poor Juliet. Maybe she wasn't lying! :P Thank you so much dear! It's great you liked it!
