And, about the day when the current would bring him back around as well.

And that just gave this title an entirely different meaning than what I'd first thought of.

All I can say about this is wow. I love these short little ficlets that you do because you pack so much meaning into them. This one definitely did not disappoint. I think Claire's reaction to Charlie's death is something I'm looking very forward to for this next season, and I love fics dealing with it.

Great fic!

Well, thank you. As wordy as I can be, sometimes, some fics just want to be shorter than others, and sometimes it takes a short time to say what needs to be said. I'm glad you thought that it worked, in this case.

I'm interested in seeing how things are for Claire next season too, when she realizes that Charlie is gone. For some reason, now that he's dead, I find myself writing Charlie/Claire more and more.

I'm glad you liked this! ♥ Thanks for reading.

You don't know what you got till it's gone (?). I reckon that this'll be the case for Claire too.

It was amazing to see Claire finally (though much too late) showing some understanding of Charlies drug habit and realising that his addiction was born out of pain. Even more powerful was the hint that Claire would keep some of the heroin (just in case!!) because she has a pain she needs to numb now too.

What I wanted to do with this fic was explore the idea that Charlie's death had made Claire realizing some thing about him that she couldn't understand when he was alive, but that that understanding also caused her a great amount of pain. And maybe she understood it just a little too well now.

Thanks for reading. :)

Thank you for your kind words. :) I'm really glad you liked this, because it's sad, rough material. I think things are going to be pretty bad for Claire next season.

I absolutely love your opening paragraph - what an incredible concept to apply to the island! And I applaud your giving Claire some beginning of an understanding about Charlie's addiction.

That was such an amazing fic! It was so small but so jampacked full of angst! I love the details you added into it & the line 'The list of things that she will never know about Charlie grows every day, because it is all that she can think about' is just beautiful I love it. Fantastic fic, I loved the way you described Claire's emotions in it!
P.S - love your Claire icon!
