Why this must be read: Steph is well-known for her deliciously hot Sylar/Claire smut; "The Elegy Season" is her only major Peter/Claire work. In this she investigates an alternate future in which Peter exploded in Kirby Plaza - not Five Years Gone, but something else. Peter and Claire are the only survivors of the bomb and find each other in the desolation. Nigh-apocalyptic in tone, it is a story of both ruination and hope. Also, the sex is fantastic.


Claire has seen the tiny details that nobody else has – nobody living, anyway. She has seen the radioactive powder leave a soft, lethal layer on the sidewalk like snow waiting for footprints that will never come. She alone saw the explosion blot the sun like an eclipse, and watched the black cloud of death sink to the pavement and rise to the stratosphere. She has seen the little weeds rising between the cracks in the pavement shrivel and die in an instant, as if captured on time-lapse film.

She has seen her own body lit from within, a walking x-ray, and felt herself singe and fry as her skin melted from her bones. Now, unscathed, she doesn’t look outside any more.
