Why This Must Be Read:
Near the end of "Cold Lazarus" Jack tells Sara he wants to "hear all about it" but we never know in canon whether he ever had that conversation with her.dknightshade gives us Sara after that episode, confused and hurting and looking for answers and understanding her ex-husband well enough to know she's likely to never get them.
In this short fic we can feel what they had between them - the deep understanding - and mourn for all they've both lost, as well as for how alone Sara feels, and how much Charlie's death still hurts. We also see her understanding of Jack - of the way he pushes people away and the way he punishes himself.
Sara wasn't even sure what she was looking for. Answers maybe. But they were as illusive as the warmth in the coffee cup she'd been holding between her hands for hours now. They were as illusive as the colors in the shadows around Jack's house.
As illusive as the shadows inside too.
The moment she’d seen Jack on Charlie's bed, near tears, it had opened all the holes she'd plastered over and tried to wish away. It had taken her right back to the day her world ended. But the Jack in that room had been different. He'd been willing to talk. He seemed to want some sort of closure. He was the Jack she'd been unconsciously hoping for for years.
She should have known it wasn't really him.
