Will do - unfortunately, it's a 26 chapter job (unless I cut one chapter that wouldn't really matter) and I'm on Chapter 4! Think I'm going to start posting it chapter by chapter in my fic journal tellshannon815 soon. Guess I'd better get cracking as I don't want to be in the position where S4 starts and either gives someone backstory that completely makes a mockery of what I came up with or (less likely) I actually got something right and nobody believes I thought of it before that ep was shown!
That was my own reaction to Claire at the time...but Chapter 13: Catch A Falling Star (Claire-centric) of my fic is hopefully going to go some way to explaining her reaction a bit more.
