Wonderful use of the whispers in this - very striking and very poignant. I love how Charlie's non answer is the only answer she needs when she asks if it's him.

Very creepy. Loved it!

About the whispers: I always wanted to do something with that, but the opportunity had never properly presented itself until now. They left us with a very interesting fic device at the end of last week's episode and I intended to utilize it.

I'm glad you liked this! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

It is a kind of dangerous field, which is why I had a few apprehensions. At the end of the day however, I felt proud of what I did and so I decided to post it. And it would be nice to have her have some...point in this. Maybe then the writers would be forced to give her a storyline instead of the awful characterization we've seen (that's just IMO).

oh, what a great idea, using the whispers to be the spirit of the dead like that! I think that's a believable scenario, that Claire is held captive so they can take Aaron away from here. awesome.

[slybrunette]

Well, for me, I like a few of the dead more than the living these days so it's a nice arena for me to play in.

And, yeah, them taking Claire because of Aaron was me looking for a plot. I was also trying to tie it into last episode, with the "he can't be raised by another" thing.

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

Ooh, I really liked this! I found it to be really creepy, actually. Keeping Claire in the dark about what was happening really added to the tension of it all. I have to admit I'd forgotten about Malkin and his warning, so that was a great, "Oh, shit!" moment for me. I liked how you used that and and the whispers. Thanks for sharing!

[slybrunette]

Well I don't remember much about Claire, but the raised by another comment I always will. Plus they just used it on the show which is a good refresher.

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

A really nice fic, and just as creepy as that scene in the cabin was! I like the idea that it's the dead such as Charlie that are speaking to her, with that ominous comment about if they can't leave she can't either.

[slybrunette]

I have trouble letting go of dead characters. Not Charlie necessarily, he was never really my favorite or anything, but I used to be really good at writing Shannon and Boone and so I figured, using the concept of the dead talking to her, I could work that to my advantage. But you know, what's Claire fic without Charlie if you're trying to be canon.

I'm glad you liked this! Thanks for reading and reviewing!
