poll that may seem random but really isn't. yeah, it's for fic purposes. sorta.  
So, this morning I went to the gym and delighted myself in finally not having to listen to their crappy radio, since after six months I finally resolved to replace my broken old mp3 and bought a new one (which is small, black, pretty, stylish and therefore I'll refer to it as Sayid. But anyway, not the point). At one point started a song that I hadn't been listening to for ages and stuck a plot bunny in my head which won't go away. Problem is, I could do it in three different ways. One is actually according to canon so that isn't the problem, but the two others would be way more interesting to do. Problem is, I don't know whether the premise for both of them would work. So, uhm, help me out?

About question #1: given that whoever was left behind on the island gets rescued a couple of years later, while he's there Sawyer starts really regretting how things went with Cassidy and that he never met Clementine, when they are back she's the only one that bothers to go see him and that they come together again in a LONG span of time.

About question #2: given that the whole O6 doesn't exist, they all get rescued, Kate definitely decides that she's in love with Sawyer and Jack/Juliet decide to move in since he's alone, she's alone and hey, they started to fancy each other.

Poll #1165813 do I really want to write a fic featuring marriage? Seems so.

Nah, never in the world.
5 (31.2%)
Maybe if you really give them some good background explanation.
7 (43.8%)

Could/Would Jack and Juliet ever marry?

View Answers
Sure they would! *draws hearts around them*
8 (53.3%)
Hell not. After Sarah and Juliet's ex they'd never marry. Maybe live together.
2 (13.3%)
If you do a veeeery good background explanation why not?
5 (33.3%)

If you think that both of those couples are the worst choices I could ever go for, you've got some other names which are NOT Charlie and Claire/Des and Penny of people who could marry?

If for both questions 1 and 2 the main answer is no, I'll go for option #3 anyway so if you think that marriage is out of the blue for those four no problem. And anyway if I ever do one of them, it won't be actually focused on the marriage itself.

Okay, random entry is over. I should stop flashing plots when I listen to music, I really should.

Okay, don't hate me. I've been reading the comments above and I have to say (I'm kind of hating myslef here), can't you combine the two? Like Jack/Juliet and kate suffering because of letting Jack go? I don't know if you plan to go AU, but I think Sarah is desperate to get rid of Jack, who was a horrible husband, and is happy with another man and well, with a kid and all that. I know that well, it would partly AU and maybe I am a masochist, but I think that a Jack/Juliet marriage would torture Kate notas much as a Sawyer/Cassidy. You could also write, Sawyer/Cassidy/Clementime, without the marriage part, and had Kate suffer about that? I've always wanted to do that, but never considered myself capable of it.

What I am doing telling you what would be better to write!!!!! Anyway, as a fan and a shipper, I'd enjoy more Jack/Juliet marriage. The idea is just brilliant and lovely!!

Weeeeelll. Now.... uhm, I could get brave, do it from Kate's POV and featuring Sarah keeping her in the margin. Now, I kinda could. Mmmmmh, I'll brainstorm about it during tomorrow's lecture. My lecturer is always half an hour late, I've got time ;)

About the S/C/C and Kate suffering, that'd be another nice idea! I think I could do that as a separate thing. I kinda like that.

And please give advice! I made the poll especially for that ;) and I'm going for J/J marriage, yep. Decision made, however it comes together.
