Oh very nice. I like the idea that what she does here sets things in motion that she probably doesn't take into consideration and at a future point in time learns to regret it. I can see that happening as she gets older and isn't at the stage of life where it's about her (as most girls are at that age).

Well done!

[quirkysmuse]

Thank you so much!
Yeah, I see Claire's decision here as purely selfish. I can see in the future (even though Heroes was canceled) that she could come to regret it.

[apckrfan]

Yes, cancellation sucks. Despite the fact I felt the show grew weaker as it went along I still wish Kring had the opportunity to tell his complete story. Hopefully we'll get more fics like this filling in blanks after that final scene!

[quirkysmuse]

Yeah, agreed.

And for once I'd like to read a good, well-thought out post-Heroes fanfic that didn't involve Peter shagging Sylar all the time. Just my thoughts. :)

this was fantastic. i love the whole idea of this fic and tbh, hiro/claire have always really intrigued me because there isn't enough fic for them and they def. have potential :D

[quirkysmuse]

Thank you!
Yes, Hiro/Claire has always been a favorite of mine, despite it being so rare. Glad you enjoyed it!

[luxken27]

Interesting. Speaking as someone unfamiliar with the canon, it seems to me that at least part of the reason she did it was to keep this cyclical momentum going. The last line, at least, hints at that. However selfish this decision is, there's incentive for her if she gets to see him again, in this future he tells her of. She hasn't thought far enough ahead to recognize that she'll regret these actions when that next meeting occurs, only that it will.

Very nice! =)

[quirkysmuse]

Wow, thanks!
And I'm glad (even though you don't follow the fandom) that you picked up on part of her selfish decision is to see a future with him.

I enjoy reading your Heroes fics, and you're making me really like Claire, LOL. She reminds me of Maxie from GH a little bit - very complex, with lots of layers :)

I love this. Hiro/Claire has always intrigued me because they were so fun and funny in the one episode they interacted and yet the incapability of their powers has the ability to make it tragic. You took if further and made it a bit tragic for the world because of their personality differences in this fic that causes the problems. They can't resist each other and so it causes them do things that will hurt one another and everyone else in the process. Sort of dark. Great fic.

Thank you so much!

AWESOME CLARO!

I couldn't help but write a new V fic after seeing the season finale. Really hope they get renewed!

Thanks!
