Very awesome.
Loved this line:
Wants absolution, because everything is already so fragile, and hurt feelings are splintered things, piercing everything they touch.
:D

Such a nice interlude, especially after all the angst I ready just after waking up. I need to prepare myself better first thing in the morning. o_o
'Uncle Claude' - hee. That's just cute. :)

Thank you! Yeah, it's an angsty day for Plaude.

'Uncle Claude' - hee. That's just cute. :)

Anyone else but Clara tries that, he's gonna brain 'em. *g*

And just like that, exposed to air, the last of the hurt evaporates.

Beautiful.

You wrote some smut for me; you're my hero.

Thank you :)

Just doing my job, ma'am.

I went and read all the chapters and thought I'd just spill everything here, so I must say--this is very lovely. The chapters are short, but everything feels very--grand, I guess. Maybe it's the historic setting, which I adore, by the way. The little stars and the Hitler and the persecution, everything. The characterization of Claude and Peter is great, too. Peter beating himself up over the dog biting him, earlier? Spot on. Feeling responsible for things he doesn't have any control over. And the thing with family, with both of them.

Except you've taken me to a very depressing place, where I'm having flashbacks to Battlestar Galactica and Number the Stars (Man, I haven't read that book since fifth grade; I should hunt through my bookshelves and pick it up) and I keep imagining Claude and Peter getting caught and put in the Great Concentration Camp for Specials. Dude, Peter would dead so quick. Boy needs to eat a sandwich. And get in a boat with Claude and escape to Sweden. A bad idea, England. The Blitz

Thank you! Such lovely comments :)

I'm glad you like the setting. It was just one of those ideas that snowballed, and now I can't stop thinking about other little things that I should throw in.

The characterization of Claude and Peter is great, too.

Thank you, that's nice to hear. I was getting a bit worried that in the previous chapters, I'd castrated Claude, but I think it's settling down now.

Sorry! :-o I haven't read Number the Stars.

Well, there's a lot of story left to go ...

The smut for this chapter, by the way, was handled very nicely. Very non-explicit and warm and sweet.

Thank you. I really can't do explicit! It just ... makes me cringe. Reading it, sure - but writing it ... eurrrgh. Not good! *g*

Anyway. I'll leave you alone now before I start creeping you out.Not at all - I love long comments, especially when they're this complimentary! Thanks for reading and I

Awesome chapter! Is Peter gonna heal? Ca't wait for the next one!

[indyhat]

Ah, that'd be telling, wouldn't it? ;)

Thanks for reading and for feedback! :)
