Thanks for sticking with it anyway, I appreciate it. Like I was saying to Wyrm below, I was worried about writing a story where an innocent person loses, particularly when that innocent person is young and female. I wanted to tell that story without making light of the horror, and your input was invaluable, as was Cally's. There isn't a lot of Dean because he doesn't figure as much in Claire's world, not the way Cas does. I dare you to dare me to write croatverse Claire/Dean though.

Claire/thingstiel, as much as I love its whimsy and wonderland affection, is pretty much the first stages of entrapment, you're right. I still love it anyway, haha.
