Out of Eden, The One Man Left Awake

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

The good ship Charlie/Claire is represented in these two fics.

Well. The darker side of the good ship Charlie/Claire.

Claim: Lost: General Series
Prompt: 17 - Jealousy
Title: Out of Eden
Author: literarylemming
Rating: PG-13/R
Length: Epic
Brief summary: Charlie/Claire, set post-rescue, and pretty much the polar opposite of fluff. Touching on drug addiction, ex-boyfriends, family relationships, the media, and more, this fic covers all the dark parts of rescue that most just gloss over, as Charlie and Claire's jealousy over each other's apparent ability to settle back into normal life drives them further and further apart.

Claim: Lost: General Series
Prompt: 48 – Reccer's Choice
Title: The One Man Left Awake
Author: mnemosyne23
Rating: R
Length: Long
Brief summary: When the sickness Rousseau warned of begins taking the survivors down one by one, the atmosphere of the entire camp changes. Charlie tries to keep Claire safe, while avoiding acknowledging the idea that she may have been the first one to be taken down by the sickness. Creepy and dark, with an ending that forms the basis for nightmares.
