…at some point I started writing a Supernatural/Spiderman crossover with Claire as Venom.

IDEK.


Claire Novak has bound herself in protections.

She has carved sigils into her body, woven magic into every inch of her skin, and crafted rituals that burnt into her soul. She has done everything she has been able to find, everything that she could think of, to keep demons and angels out of the hole burnt through her by Castiel’s all too brief presence.

She goes to her knees every night and prays. Every day that she is able, she attends mass. She buries herself in the bible, in myths and legends and truth and lies. She fills herself with knowledge holy and arcane, as well as demonic and profane. Everything that she is is bound up in angels and demons and the things that go bump in the night.

She wants to find her father. She dreads finding Castiel.

On this night, she is hunting a ghost that burns out the eyes of it’s victims and she has stumbled into the church to ask for guidance. All of her research into this case leads her back again and again to the stories she had heard years ago about the true forms of angels. It’s more than a little unnerving.

For all of her protections, for everything that she has done to keep herself safe from demons and angels and the beasts of the supernatural, she is woefully unprepared for what she finds in the church. Or rather: what finds her.

It is black and thick, like ectoplasm, but when she touches it to make sure it latches on and covers her hand. She doesn’t scream, but she does scramble back for her kit.

She was prepared for almost every type of demon or monster documented.

Alien symbiotes were another story entirely.

An unfinished drabble meant for the abitofclaireity blog. 


Claire is learning how to be alone.

The shock and betrayal and rage that dogged her heels for so long after her father first disappeared has given away just as surely as her hope that he’d come back. She got him back once; a second time is impossible. So she stomps on the last shards of her hope and packs her father away. She takes her first step.

The terror that had gripped her when her mother vanished has faded away. She yet hopes that she’ll get a response to her messages, but at this point it’s more likely her messages will bounce back to her when the service is finally cut off. That realization is the second step.

The third step was the month by herself in Missouri. As much time as she spent worrying and panicking and just generally being miserable, she was also learning how to take care of herself. It helped to build up something of an independent streak, and her confidence in herself grew when both her hitch-hiking adventure to Kansas City and the bus trip to Odin turned out fine.

She doesn’t regret making that trip.

title:   home to nowhere
summary: post 4.20. amelia & claire

Amelia is half way to her parents’ home in the car the Winchesters stole for her when she stops. The night is silent and cold around them, and Amelia’s hands tremble on the steering wheel. She doesn’t look at the ghost sitting in the passenger seat; right now it’s still too soon to be able to look at that blank look on Claire’s face and understand.

She wants to rage and scream and howl at Jimmy, but he’s not here. All that remains is their daughter, looking more broken from a ten minute possession than she has any right to be. Jimmy will not see this. Jimmy will never see this, and in a way that is just as heartbreaking as the shadow in Claire’s eyes.
