I don't know why I had the sudden urge for Dean/Claire and I didn't even know what I expected from this paring other than massive heartbreak, but—but it's so much more than just that. (I don't think this comment will make a lot of sense apart from me being all excited.)

You have Claire say 'Hello, Dean' on the phone and I don't even think about her, I think about how Dean would feel hearing those words coming from the daughter of his ex lover's vessel. And then she walks in on the boys, her fascination and reflections are full of hopelessness but still she finds a way to justify what she's seeing and accept her rationalization of their incest (even if, Claire you were the first to have incestuous thoughts heh). You have her seduce Sam and they're both so damaged and still that's not what Claire wants, not until you bring her to Dean and he caves, and then, then Dean just falls and folds around her and the little pets and kisses are so tragic and so so beautiful. But he still thinks of Cas *sighs*

I think those boys need Claire in this specific universe; I like her little manipulations, how she's trying to get what she can out of this. Maybe the boys just need her to take the edge off and take their hands; lead them towards a post-apocalypse, polyamorous delusional happy ending of sorts, maybe? lazy threesome sex while the world is burning outside the windows of their motel room or just Claire having her way with one of them while the other's wathing or—

—the possibilities *happy sigh*
