I love "It's a Wonderful Life" - great inspiration. And I love Hurley/Claire as a pairing, too. I know you wrote this a long time ago, but I still wanted to say how much I appreciated this story. What would have been more perfect was to find it on Christmas Day!

This is pretty great! I love Shannon and Boone as snarky guides. There were a lot of fun details in here- the Spanish thrown in, Hurley wanting popcorn, and him telling Sayid "Happy early Ramadan", LOL! I also LOVE Hurley/Claire, and not enough people write it! Great job!

you just made me so very happy.

(you're completely right about how claire and hurley were friends pre-amnesia and then charlie kind of took over. i'd never really thought of that.)

anyway, awesome fic.
