Peter staggered back a few steps as 105 pounds of cheerleader collided into his chest, but there was no hesitation in the way his arms immediately came up to crush her closer against him.

HOT. (OMG, don't kill me LJ!)

she felt like she was assembling a jigsaw puzzle facing upside-down.

You know I love this metaphor for Claire's emotional state. It's not that it's impossible to figure things out, but you just know there should be an easier way, and everything is just that gray-brown color that makes you wonder if the final product will be worth it at all. Just as Claire knows the basics about the other Heroes and how they fit with her, but they don't seem like real people to her.

Ghost-Peter staggered back a few steps as 105 pounds of cheerleader collided into his chest, but there was no hesitation in the way his arms immediately came up to crush her closer against him. He felt like Peter and he smelled like Peter (a cypressy sort of smell that Claire hadn’t been aware of committing to memory), and all evidence to the contrary, Claire pulled back a few inches away and gasped out two accusing words: “You’re dead!”

My favorite parragraph, the surprise and joy of seeing him again, there's no time for reasonable thoughts, only the need to be in his arms again, making sure he's alright and with her. For Peter is the same, he's holding her even closer, harder, maybe she'll become part of him, the part that is missing and help him heal. Close enough to breathe her, so closer being away from her sounds like a nightmare.

Thanks so much for your comments! I'm so glad you thought the lighter and the more dramatic elements struck a good balance. This is my first time writing in this fandom, and so I'm glad you thought the characters seemed like themselves. :)

I'm glad you're writing Peter/Claire now because you are fabulous and they are my newest obsession. I knew you'd do them justice, and you so have. This is made of awesome =)

[mutinousmuse]

Aw, thanks! I can't seem to stop tripping from fandom to fandom these days. ;)

That was wonderful. I loved the description of when she saw him again and when they hugged.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
