Flangst is my favourite ^_^

I can't wait to see how Charlie's reaction to this news is dealt with on the show, but I know it won't be anywhere near as satisfying as this was. - that's exactly what I thought, they'll probably touch on it but they certainly won't go into depth with it. Damn those writers o.O;

I wonder if Charlie and Claire will ever profess their love for each other on the show. I want an episode that's non-stop kissing. - me too! argh, I would DIE of happiness!

I LOVE the dip and kiss! Originally that was just a fragment that wasn't attached to a fic and then I re-read my handwritten version and something in my brain sort of clunked into place and it just FIT into this fic. I was thrilled! Charlie's admission of being scared of dropping girls on their heads actually made me giggle madly for about five minutes after I wrote it so I'm glad it was received well ^_^

We really need an episode on the show that's ALL Charlie and Claire, not a ten second scene a week. - I agree entirely! I miss canon shippiness! *wibble

I totally have tears in my eyes now. The whole last part where Charlie gets back to camp was one of the best things I've ever read. No lie. With the kiss and the dropping on the head and the not being scared. I'm so happy I read this on Christmas morning. It was the perfect present.

I loved Claire in this fic. She took charge :p And they held hands in the jungle! *squees!*

One other thing I really liked near the beginning was how you made Charlie be the one unsure about their relationship. On the show, Claire seems to hold all the cards and that really bothers me. She does mess with Charlie a little emotionally. It was good to see you paying omage to that.

In any case, I LOVED IT. I hope to see more fic from you now that your muse has stirred again! :)

The dip and kiss was originally just a fragment that didn't have a fic attached and it just seemed to fit into this so I put it in and it's now my favourite fanfiction moment that I've ever written! Go figure eh? ^_^

I know! *squishes the two of them together*

She does mess with Charlie a little emotionally. It was good to see you paying homage to that. - yes! Thank you for mentioning that! It's something that irritates me too, which is why I made mention of it. I can't wait for the day that Charlie can take a bit of direction in the relationship and Claire actually let's him.

Thank you for r/ring! Hopefully my muse will be nice now and write some more soon! I've been on hiatus forever it seems.

A perfect ending to a perfect story. It was filled with much needed drama, kindness and forgiving

Glad i'm not the only one who squeed at the dip and kiss scene ^_^ I'm so lame to squee at my own fics but srsly, I love that bit.

Thank you for r/ring! And for such in depth reviews as well ^_^ hope my muse delivers some new stuff soon
