I never realized I needed zombie Jimmy in my life until now, but I do. This was beautiful and atmospheric and heartbreaking, and the "not my father" line just kills me. Hold on, Claire, Jimmy just wants to talk! T_T

also, hunter Novaks! Dean training Claire in the way of the hunter! All these little details make me want to shower all the love on this fic =D

So glad you enjoyed it; thank you!

and hunter Novaks!! (Castiel promised to keep them safe, yes, but with a gun in her hands Claire doesn't need the angel anymore. She needs to tell him, though, needs to patch over the gap behind her bones, and it's hard to do that when he can't be found. So Claire starts looking for him everywhere, waiting, and when she gets her father back instead--graceless and broken, again--she's had enough.)
