-has a moment of giddy excitement that there's another C/C Panda-written fic-
Oh...this was so...I dunno. Sad, sweet, heartbreaking...utterly PERFECT actually. I mean, it totally kills me every time I think about Charlie dying and trying to imagine how Claire must've felt. And I think you really captured that here, her pain and agony, layered with amazing description (I adore really well-done description, makes the story just come to life) and...ah, you could really see how much pain she was in, poor girl.
And then when you had Charlie there...man, I very nearly choked up. Really. It seemed like something that could and would actually happen, him being there for her to vent her anger and hurt upon, then him being there to comfort her and give her a sort of closure.
-sniffles- And I was wondering the same thing - why Charlie, why?!
Thank you, thank you, thank you Gilly! I really felt that Claire 1 1/2 minutes of crying in that episode was, I dunno, not enough? And yet it doesn't really seem like Claire to have a breakdown in front of the whole group, so I felt she would have separated herself something like this.
As the two groups faced one another, the rain began to fall, washing away the last traces of sunshine from the castaways’ faces.
My favourite bit of this, far and away. Great work here, and great use of the prompt! Thank goodness we've got people like you to write Claire-grieving-fics! I'm working on my own Eggtown-centric grieving fic atm.
Two fics! Whoot! I can't wait to read more from you!

All this burning rage inside of me over what the writers are doing with Claire and the lack-of Charlie ever EXISTING has been put to good use I guess, haha.

Yeah, same here. Well, I haven't exactly started it, just going through some ideas. I really feel the need for there to be SOME sort of explanation as to Claire's behavior/demeanor in Eggtown. I'm sure (well, I HOPE!) there will be plenty of fics like that out there by a variety of angry C/C-ers (I'm looking forward to reading yours!), but I think, just for my own, I dunno, closure (?) I need to write one myself.
Anyhow, sorry to ramble. Thanks again for beta-ing, and also for reviewing!
LOL. Good old burning rage! It certainly helps when you're writing impassioned fic doesn't it?
Ooh you're writing Eggtown fic? SWEET. Does this mean I have more betaing coming my way?
And yes - fanfiction writing is very therapeutic for the disgruntled fans. All hail the hidden worlds we discover through fanfiction! I sometimes forget that the characters as I write them in my story aren't actually like that on the show =P oops!
I knew something had to happen before he left, but I seriously couldn't see them having a make-out session, haha. Especially as we've only seen these two kiss TWICE on-screen before, as fun as it would have been to put some more passion in there, it just wouldn't have been realistic. And besides, that's what I've always liked about those two characters. I get sick of seeing Kate all steamy and hot over some guy or another week after week, so I always loved that when it came back to C/C, it wasn't like that.
It was exactly as I would have imagined it, exactly as it should have happened. Perfect, particularly Desmond's squeamishness and the way he ran off. I'm so glad to hear that, as I had a wee bit of trouble with that scene. I knew I wanted Claire to have the list during the later scene, so I'd planned on writing in when Des gave it to her. Originally I was going to write in a longer scene with them sitting around the camp and him explaining things to her. But then I realized that wouldn't work not only because Des didn't even GO
( ... )
.... that was absolutely beautiful... that's the way that I imagined it would go when Claire found out about Charlie's death. Very sad, but she'd have his Greatest Hits and she'd be mourning, unlike what they decided to do, and not have her let alone anyone seem to mourn at all. Anways though, wonderful writing.
but she'd have his Greatest Hits and she'd be mourning
I am SERIOUSLY going to be pissed if nothing ever happens with that piece of paper. Can't they give up 20 SECONDS of their precious plot time to let Des give her the list??? Otherwise what was even the point of having a WHOLE EPISODE in season 3 centered around it??
Sorry, I'm ranting :-P Thanks for reading and reviewing!!
it's really okay, i rant CONSTANTLY about it... it just lain pisses me off. and now there's all this talk about Claire dying and Kate raising Aaron... it's like why are they destroying the Number One couple on LOST!!!!?????? WHY CHARLIE!?!?!?!?!?! ....i just don't understand!
