Summary: She could stare at you, all blue eyes and casual shrugs, and claim that it was just a dare.
Notes: It's kind of nice when you're in a moany "my only wip isn't flowing, I need something new!" mood, and staring at your table actually produces an idea. Woohoo!

Oh, Claire, you poor thing...this was beautiful!

[isabelquinn]

Thank you! :D

Ooh, I like this! Will there be more in this 'verse? I'm kind of intrigued to see what happens next.

I love these lines in particular:

"Subtlety is key. She's spent her entire life making noise, because she's known from birth that she has to be loud and outlandish. Has to. It's the only way she can ever be noticed. But that doesn't mean she hasn't learnt a thing or two about how to fly under the radar."

This is such great character development, and so Claire. It completely makes sense that as the youngest, she would feel the need to be especially outrageous, just to stand out from her siblings.

Lovely job. :)

Thanks! :D And yeah, I was wondering that myself ;) I don't know, I intentionally left it with the possibility for more, but it's also complete in and of itself if I don't really feel like visiting the 'verse again. It all depends on my whims ;)

Thanks so much, I was really trying to write this in a way that was recognisably in-character for Claire Pike :D

This is outstanding.

This is great. :D I totally agree with miss_slipslop's comment. Aside from that, I love how you didn't reveal that the fic was about Claire until the end, but it was still fairly obvious from early on. That shows that you have her voice down really well. ♥

I love this:
No-one is making her do this. She dared herself. She just wanted to see if she could.

So Claire!
