Why This Must Be Read: Because it's a really unique 5 Years Gone fic. Instead of focusing on Sylar!Nathan and the greater politics of 5YG, this fic takes a closer look at Claire's life as a waitress in the Burnt Toast Diner. The small town world created here is palpable, and Claire's yearning for her former life feels very real, making her continued affair with Peter all the more believable.
andbless_mybaby has done a superb job taking Andy, someone we don't learn much about in Five Years Gone and turning him into a fully fleshed out character. By the end of the fic, you'll be astounded at how much you feel for him; the tragedy of this fic is as much Andy's as it is Claire's.
Excerpt:
Sandra had a tube of BeneFit lip gloss in Corsage, a pretty pink color. An orphaned waitress in Midland couldn’t afford it, but a girl who used to be Claire Bennet had a nice family and a generous allowance once upon a time. It was half-stuck in a forgotten pocket of her bag, and she had already burned through two fresh identities when she found it. Using five year old cosmetics was bad form, she knew, but she’d been nursing what was left of the tube and doling it out sparingly on special occasions. Each of her first shifts of work in a new town. The day nobody knew to be her birthday, sitting in the dark of the second-run movie theater by herself. Her first date with Andy.
