This was really beautiful. The way you voiced it was almost... haunting and saturated in grief. I'm so happy that I listened, because I frequently shy away from anything with Character Deaths (I tend toward happy fics), and I know that I miss out on some beautiful things because of it. The sex scene was, likewise, quite breathtaking and very... real (for lack of a better word).

I'm not familiar with Flesh and Bone, but the life your voice gave to Claire was really lovely and heartbreaking. ♥

Thank you for the lovely comments, and for listening - I know character death really isn't for everyone.

Flesh and Bone is incredibly bleak. Claire doesn't experience genuine love from anyone, the closest being her brother (who can't see that he's abused her, he sees them as star-crossed lovers). In the series she is mostly emotionally shut down, but her brother is killed and even though we don't see her learn of it, she would definitely feel grief.

I think I need a happy fic now!
